Installation of Perrin exhaust system.
This isn't actually about the installation itself but some technicality I ran into. Firstly I live in Texas, I have been calling shops because I don't own a lift yet and they are telling me they can't install the new front pipe because I need 80k miles for it to be legal. Does this mean I am going to have to find someone to do it that is not a business?

I had no problems going through Phastek in Houston, in fact they are putting in my front pipe (and other stuff) right now.

You don't need a lift. Just a jack and some stands, or even ramps.
Have you asked anyone in the Austin thread for help? I'm sure someone has the tools and very basic skills needed to do this install. |

My friend knows how, just no stands I guess it wouldn't be too pricy to just buy some stands.. probably cheaper than an install..

I bought 4 nice jackstands 13.99 for two on sale at Harbor Freight and a 2.5 ton low profile jack from there as well for 79.99 with 20% off of that. They work nicely and have the pinch on the tops to match the pinch welds.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think BRZ club did the front pipe install and needed to lift the motor to swap the pipe?
I'm debating whether to do it myself because I'm not fond of pushing the motor up while its sitting on stands. |

It takes some patience but can be easily done. Then install your new overpipe, then new front pipe. Easy peasy, just use new gaskets or you'll leak.

You can do it yourself. I did a catback in about an hour on ramps. Just buy some crappy jackstands so you don't die. It's not like they ever go bad, just buy some.

Roll up on some ramps, then jack up the rear end, and slide some jack stands underneath. Should take a noob an afternoon. No biggie.

Sears is having a sale on craftsman jack stands. I bought myself a set last night and went to pick them up this morning!
