mattkim85 · 04-13-2009, 12:37 PM

I'm at Stillen facility in costa mesa,ca to get
The exhausts installed and Wow they have a
great facility here. And talk about customer service,
They are second to none. Dean showed me around
Their facility with their new upcoming 600 rwhp GT-R
And 800 Rwhp ford GT. Also saw like 10 Stillen modified
Vehicles with fancy paint jobs of all different colors
upfront...350zs, g37s, mustang GTs, and a
couple more. Felt like I was in the set for
The fast and furious.. LOL

Well my point is If you guys are in socal then
You guys should check it out.

How much do they charge you to get the exhaust installed?

nogoodname · 04-13-2009, 12:57 PM

good question, it can't be that hard to do, just paying mostly for using a lift.

It's not everyday people can get the manufacturers to install the system.

nogoodname · 04-13-2009, 01:01 PM

true, need an appointment

i'd rather get one installed from a private garage that I know well...... actually that's my only choice b/c i'm not in SoCal...ha

mattkim85 · 04-13-2009, 01:05 PM

Yea I did make an appointment

And the price is not bad $100 /hr

$1260 for the exhaust +$100 will cost me around $1450ish.

sensi09 · 04-13-2009, 01:09 PM

They're charging you two hours labor? That's way too much. I'd pay no more than a $100 to have an exhaust installed.

SOLISIMO · 04-13-2009, 01:10 PM

Can you please take pictures of the facility, that sounds cool

nogoodname · 04-13-2009, 01:18 PM

yea, i wanna see the facility also..... over here, the rates per hour is 30 for general mechanics, but dealerships and manufactures charge a lot more.

sensi09 · 04-13-2009, 01:27 PM

They do have a nice facility. During their Stillen open houses, they offer discounts and I believe free installs for many parts. Try to bargain down the install price....it should take them maybe 30-45mins tops.

Forumite · 04-13-2009, 01:37 PM

LOL it takes a manufacturer 2x longer to install their stuff than it did me and I only have blocks and a incline driveway.

mattkim85 · 04-13-2009, 01:39 PM

guys...$1260 + $100 + the crazy 9.25% sales tax..
They are not charging me 2 hours of labor LOL

nogoodname · 04-13-2009, 01:39 PM
