Need a shop for down pipe install around burien? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Pandle · 03-11-2013, 09:30 PM

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.

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.
