Default Help: Installing Magnaflows

Hey guys, finally got my magnaflows. Would like to know if anyone in NJ, or NY would be able to help me install them? I honestly don't know how to, and I'm really low on cash =/ I'll probably pay you off with a 6 pack and lunch

Hmmm. What is your location? I think we'd have to cut and weld pipes onto the magnaflows.

You most definitely will have to weld these on to the pipes which will not be favorable in a home garage. Good luck fellas!

Chris, that's the thing. I don't have a lot of money. I only have like $13.00 left in my bank account after trying to pay my $985.00 credit card bill (have no idea wtf I bought), buy my magnaflows and navigation lol.

Don't know much about magnaflows didn't know they had to be welded. Eventhough I am a certified welder but I dont have one. The tanabe exhaust I ordered is just nuts and bolts so no welding needed. So I guess he's better off going to a muffler shop .

idk where in NJ you are, but a friend of mine on another forum just went to a place in trenton. Charged him 100 dollars for cutting off the rear resonator, putting a new pipe out the back and welding in a new muffler. Muffler not included in 100$ price.
