I have several dealers here in town that will install it for you at a very reasonable price

You might check out Rush Garage in St. Charles. The owner's name is Cody, tell him Nick C. from Diode sent you. He might cut you a deal, or charge you twice as much IDK jk he's a friend

I'm going there this Saturday to have a full exhaust put on my 240sx.

But that defeats the purpose of this group! installing toys with fellow tuners who can learn and also impart knowledge is what makes tuning fun. Paying a shop to install your stuff is like paying someone to play with your toys! I say that tongue in cheek since their are plenty of good reasons you may wanna pay someone but I saw you try and organize some people, get some beer, some grill food and just jack stand the car if you can't find a lift.

Much thanks Nick but I have a feeling the stands are what will end up happening. I've been working on my own cars my whole life so taking it to a shop to install something like exhaust is crazy for me to consider. This will be something that I will revisit once the exhaust is closer to my living room.

I put long-tube headers in my mustang FWIW, so it's not that I can't do it.

I have 0 tools here in STL, no jack, nothing. And after working all week, I just don't feel like breaking a hanger or dealing with it.

If I had a garage, it'd be a completely different story. Once we get our new facility, I'll probably do more work myself

However, if someone lives close to me in Chesterfield and has a garage...I might reconsider..

I wish I had tools

Curious if anyone would be interested in a swp/whiteout FR-S bumper for their brz bumper... I'm holding out on trimming the bumper so the fitment is 100% in hopes of finding a brz bumper first. (Only reason I would have to trim the bumper is because of my front mount IC)

Btw who's going to IFO on Sunday?

Cool... I was thinking about entering the drift session but last event the box was slick as balls due to a bunch of power steering fluid from another car.

Hmm Omar I didn't realize you were boosted. I'm seriously considering going this route, just didn't want to void things. How has the reliability been?

Should mention my previous car was a turbo eclipse so I'm more than comfortable with the installation, it's mainly the tuning.
