There's no reason you cannot do this yourself. If you have a tight budget, that should be the proper motivation.

There's only a total of 8 nuts and bolts to contend with (plus another four or so for the donut mounts), and 1 O2 sensor.

If you get in a bind, there are several walk throughs that can help you.

Harman Motive in Carson.

While you are there you can DYNO your car before and after to realize your WHP gains.

Dan and John are great to work with.

Good Luck

The only reason I dont do more work on my ride is cause I dont have a very good way to lift it. I went to RnR racing and since I bought there exhaust they hooked me up on labor for everything I needed to get done. Ryan is the man.

with a lift and proper tools it probably took the muffler shop about 15-20 min to swap out you pipes...
$100 for 20 min = $300 an hour? does that sound like a good deal?

Actaully, the average hourly rates for shops are around $80.

LOL either way installing a bolt on item in a shop is a waste! Bolt ons so easy that everyone should try to learn to do it themselfs! For the love of the game!

Hmm $100 bucks or free... hmmm. Shoulda taken me up on my offer. I'm usually pretty good about helping fellow car enthusiasts install stuff.

Thanks for offers u all. I usually installs stuff myself with friends, i know exhaust installation is not that hard/ it usually took me 1 hour to do it. the thing is....when I went to this shop to install downpipe, I felt like...just let them do that all works and got my ass lazy :lol: and I wanted it to be done asap that day so badly :roll: guess I was little impatience
at least I installed boost gauge myself right before exhaust. but i was wondering hks carbon TI is not that loud at all ?
