Is Speedgear a good shop to order from???
I was thinking about getting the up-pipe and down-pipe from Speedgear but dont know to much about them. Should i get it from them or better to go somewhere online and order it. Also what is the best fit is she already has the HKS Carbon Titanium Exhaust. We would pay someone if they would install for us...Or does speedgear install pretty good and how much do they charge for labor????

SpeedGear is a really good shop Fraid (owner) is a good guy people have gotten parts from them and some have had them install some parts the only bad thing about them is that sometimes you can find the part cheaper online but overall people are happy with them.

Speedgear is a great shop. They are very I-Club friendly. Farid and Ryan are awesome. Ryan is the only one who has done any installs on my car that I have paid for. He has dedicated hours of his time to try and help me figure out the problems I've been having with my car. You will not be disapointed with Speedgear/ Ryan's install. They charge $75 an hour, which is the going rate.

just like what silver satin said, farid is an awesome guy, but you might be able to find things a lil cheaper online.. its up to you, why dont you go down to his shop and check it out. then you can compare prices.

it won't hurt to go down to speed gear and check out the goods and ryan is a great person to have work on your car.
i tried to buy parts from them a few times, but the difference in price from the internet wasn't even close. i was willing to pay some extra money to support the shop, but that didn't happen.

Yeah Farid is a nice guy and had a Suby if I'm not mistaken. I bought my Blitz axel-back from them and it was cheaper on the internet but I didnt want to wait so I got it.

Thanks guys. 
Sorry we can't match internet prices, but we're going to try running monthly specials for the suby guys. I still have a lot to learn as a mechanic, but I promise to try and not blow up your cars.
