exhaust install

murphman · 12-08-2010, 06:25 PM

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

pg6speed · 12-09-2010, 07:32 PM

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.
