Need a shop for down pipe install around burien?
 

Anyone know of a shop near the burien area? I have a nameless downpipe that I need to get installed. Had a shop that was going to do it during a spring install but apparently they were only able to do the springs and never got back to me about rescheduling and I'm getting frustrated. I'm a complete noob and would like to do it myself but I'm not really sure where to start. Anyone have any suggestions or a simple diy guide? I know cat backs are easy and if this is anywhere near as easy as that I'd be 100% comfortable.

Just the down pipe not the over pipe?
Get a couple of sockets and jacks and do it yourself. It's easy. The over-pipe is the hard part.

Wrapped up my install this weekend...I had to jack the engine up to get my replacement pipe in due to design, but I wouldn't have gotten the stock one out anyway. People say they've wiggled them out and I understand you have to undo the heat shielding to do that. FWIW, I was trying to take it out behind the engine; after I finished up my install I was informed that once the heat shields are off you pull the pipe out from the front of the car.


Just wanted to add my own observations. :thumbsup:

If you have the 1 piece over/downpipe from Nameless you would have to jack the engine up (2 nuts, super easy) to get it in there.

Yeah, i removed 2 heat shields then got annoyed and unbolted the motor mount and jacked the motor up. Took a 1 finger push to have the stock over-pipe fall out lol. Install was easy then too.

However the front pipe was a BREEZE.

Stickied in the NW forum area...
