Yes those are brake lines...
Simple push / bend them out of the way with your four fingers.. They move real easy..

You do not want them rubbing against anything..

Also, I would swing that harness wire around towards the back of the car... or like 9/10 o'clock..

Not ever car is built exactly the same

Just a quick question, during installation, the O2 censors don't need to be re-wired or reattached or disconnected right?

For the FULL system.. the 2 - O2 sensors need to be properly removed & properly re-installed...

1.) With the correct OEM Tool

2) Without destroying it, without cutting off the heat sync & without winding UP or twisting all the wiring..

Received my Joe Z CB exhaust system yesterday and had them installed today at my local Toyota Dealership. The dealership installed the system for $150. Joe Z CB exhaust system looks great and and the sound the exhaust system creates is outstanding. I can also feel the car reaction quicker on the acceleration.

Video or it didn't happen! $150 sounds pretty good. There's an independent shop that quoted me $220.

Avg price should be $100 - $150... There is only nuts & bolts that go off & on.

But if you know your shop is experienced and has the right tools $220 is acceptable.

Just my .02 cents

Hmm it's actually a random shop I stumbled upon so I have no personal experience with them. I actually am meeting with my service advisor at my local Lexus dealership and they're going to give me a quote for installation so we'll see.

If you're cool with the Service advisor... This might be the safer install..

Installs easier than an OEM system ...

Just make sure a seasoned Tech works on it...!!
