A driveway + jack stands + wheel chalks + friends is good enough.

No use spending $150 in labor for something you could feasibly do yourself.

By the way, could anybody please recommend me the best place (preferably online) to purchase this HKS hi-power exhaust for the best price? I checked some of the sponsors on this site. Are all of them selling the genuine HKS parts from Japan? Thanks

Yes, otherwise they wouldn't be here.

does anyone know if installing a HFC or resonated test pipe will void warranty more than a plain CBE install.. e.g. does it give Dealer easier time to avoid warranty.

I know even installing CBE might void it, but im not too worried about that part.

Again, only if they can directly correlate the install to the defect.

i.e. If you have a problem with the brakes, they can't blame your HFC's. However, if you have an o2 sensor go bad, and take it to the dealer to fix, they can deny warranty coverage for it.

There is really no such thing as voiding a warranty. Dealers can deny warranty claims if they believe that a certain mod had a direct correlation with a problem of the powertrain or body of the car. For example if you get lowering springs and your engine blows, they cannot deny the engine warranty work based on your aftermarket lowering springs. Hope that makes sense.
