Help a brotha out! Uppipe Install <~free food/beer (MAYBE install day?)
So I finally have time this week because of vacation to put in something I should have put in -2- years ago. That's right, TWO years ago. Would there be anyone that with good uppipe/downpipe install knowledge that would be able to help out? Basically, I will have to put in my Perrin Uppipe, Invidia DP, and Invidia catback.
Here's what I will request out of ya:
1)Need a place where I can install these parts. ie. someone's garage etc.
It's a big thing to ask for but I will reward you guys greatly with a choice of:
a) I'll ORDER you a CUSCO front strut bar
b) Or...rear 22mm CUSCO sway
2)Install Tools, since I don't have much tools anymore because I live in an apartment. However, in the event no one has them, I will use my hookup at Sears and buy some.
What wlil I provide?
BEER! FOOD! YES BUT NO BABES!
So there ya go. I would like to do this by Sunday so if anyone is interested let me know. If theres others that need installs depending on who helps me out on the place, maybe we can do yours too. THANKS!
PS. Jon, Ryan, Brandon, RICHARD!!...You folks gotta come
PSS. I think I beat Ed in the longest time a part got closeted.

I've done this at least 10 times or more. there is no way that you can do this from start to finish in 1.5 hours. even with a lift thats very hard to do.

The world record holder is hour and a half currently, and I've seen the video of it. I doubt you want to work that fast.

yeah youde have to be working hella fast to change the u pipe and down pipe in 1.5 hours, however, i did X-factors down pipe in 1.15 hrs and Zilligs in 1 hour flat, so it can be done.......heat shields were on both vehicles too.
