exhaust install
 
Hi guys my exhaust should be here tomorrow or friday and was looking to have it installed this saturday. I called a few places and got quoted 200.00 and 277.00 do these sound high?

Sounds about right. DIY and save a few hundred bucks! ;)

dont you need race ramps to get your car up? i dont have any

Dude, if I was in ATX and not China now I would say drive up and Id do it for you, do not pay $$ to get this installed, maybe a member in H will do it for you for the price of a Starbucks and a Subway.

Keep your $$ for mods

Get the car up on jack stands, you don't need ramps. Jack it up and place jackstands underneath it.

Take a trip to San Antonio and I'll put it on for nothing. Congrats on a great exhaust.

Well thanks for the offer bro but I am probably going to go have it installed just because i can drop it off and have it done when i get off work or whatever but i must say if you are in Houston at some point, beer on me for your generous offer.

Yes I vote for a DIY, I installed mine with test pipes in a few hours.

did you have help or was it a 1 man job?
Man yall are really tempting me to do it myself

DIY on a catback is very straight forward and only requires a jack, stands, and basic hand tools. I installed my catback in a little over an hour, the headers were another story. No need to spend $150-$200 for this install unless you have more cash than time.

I did have help/ and a Lift, I went to a co-workers house who has a work shop with a lift :) But yes it is an easy DIY if you are only doing exhaust.. I have done it on jack stands before on other cars of mine.

You should have bought it back in Sept. I was in San Antonio for a couple weeks on Vacation, I would have helped you :)

other than the possible washer to even out the exhaust does anyone know of any prep work needed for these or additional materials that could help for a quicker and easier install? thanks guys.

My F.I. install went very smooth. I did it on jack stands and had another set of hands help me hold and position things. No washers needed here, very good fit out of the box.
