Good place to install the exhaust

Bluechic · 04-27-2015, 07:16 PM

Hello there,

First, I apologize to youguys if this thread is not for my question. (I was try to write it in North-West region but it seems dead...)
I have an aftermarket exhaust from Invidia for my '10 Z and I'm looking for the place to install it. I'm living in Redmond, WA and want to know the best place where they can install it for me. Any good shop? Thanks.

(Don't say DIY. I know it's not a rocket science but I don't have a time for it)

You may be able to find someone off craigslist that can do it for you for cheap, if he's a car guy he has stands and the knowledge to do it for you, a 1 hour job or so about $60-$100 no problem, I'd do it for that.

Any exhaust shop could easily charge twice that.

Easy way to save time and money.

I was quoted $100 over the phone at a local muffler shop and they charged $80 out the door.

I would recommend taking it to a muffler shop and let the professional do it, if they f up well at least you can always come back and demand them to fix it.

If you wanna drive the car down to my place I can put it on for you. I just had a good friend of mine with a 370z come down from Whidbey island and I helped him do his 2 piece front and rear rotors, stainless brake lines, stainless clutch line, flushed those fluids out and replaced with Motul. I have done my exhaust as well as test pipes and another friends test pipes. Did you happen to go to Nissanfest over the weekend?

Oh, btw the way, NorthWest region on here is dead because pretty much everyone is part of PNW_INC and most all local chat goes through that facebook page.

Connect it to the catalytic converter, that's right where I would install it

Exhausts should be easy for any shop worth their salt. If they charge over 100 bucks tax included find someone who is around or less than this.

Aftermarket exhaust sometime does not fit really well(mine is ARk Grip 2 burntip). you should/ must have a lift to make your life easier when it came to align fitment(some guy just jack up the car and do it- but it seem too dangerous and uncormfortable for me

)

in case it can not be align 100% perfect and you not happy with it, cutting and welding is a must. Bring it to a muffler shop. 100$ up to 150$ (involving cutting and welding) clean and professional.
