Any shops install downpipes around the Bay Area?
Hi all!
I've been calling around muffler shops, and none seem lenient enough to install aftermarket downpipes. I know some out there will do it, but I guess my luck sucks.. Can anyone please direct me to a shop who'll do it?
Thanks in advance!!

thanks guys! i actually found a better solution...got in touch with a friend who'll show me the ropes!
p.s. everybody here seems A LOT nicer and less negativity towards newbies such as myself compare to NASIOC. people in this forum are GREAT! its kinda like bashing on a newbie boxer just because he doesnt know how to fight back....that's not koo!

+1 on doing it yourself and +10 on the bolts! I would soak the bolts area on PB Blaster or equivalent the night before to make the DP removal easier. You do not want to snap a bolt especially in the turbo's exhaust housing flange, than you definitely will need a visit to a shop
