Default Exhaust install

Just got my Tanabe in & Im curious what the average install price is for this exhaust. I called a nearby shop that quoted me 65. Seemed kind of high for an axel back...

Hey, good stuff, you finally got it. Just check around a few places...a really easy install, should be able to get it done at not much cost. Good luck and enjoy.

I'd say do it yourself (with a buddy to help support the weight) All you need is 2 wrenches (the bolts for the factory flange are a different size than the flange for the split on the tanabe exhaust). I did it in 30 minutes. You don't even need a lift...just back the car up on some ramps.

Do it yourself, I did the install myself with no lift and basic socket tools.

The problem is this guy lost his mechanic (me) and now he needs to pay people to do work, lol. Get some jacks chump (or a ramp)...takes all of 20 mins to install.

Just do it the quickest way you can, I did my own, but not everyone is comfortable with that, so just get it on and enjoy.
