Good Exhaust shop in the area.

ak335 · 12-30-2009, 11:02 AM

Hey, i just bought a cat back exhaust and was wondering if you guys knew a good place in the area that can install it. I live in Fairfax Va.

ak335 · 12-30-2009, 11:27 AM

And you guys dont think the dealer will fawk me ovr with a exhaust

? or will they

pseto · 12-30-2009, 11:57 AM

dealer shouldnt say anything since to void your warranty they need to PROVE that your aftermarket exhaust caused something else to fail.

there are plenty of good places in NoVA: Currys, Convenience Car Care, RRT

Auria,

Call RRT and speak to James.
The shop is very good and very reasonable.

Good Luck.
Raja

+1 for rrt and james great guys over there

ak335 · 12-30-2009, 01:56 PM

i spoke to james, and he said 2hr install at 95$/hr.. Does that sound fair?

i also just spoke to currys and they quoted me 4.5hrs!! because they said it is a "tricky install.. lol

bimmertt · 12-30-2009, 02:34 PM

$190 is about double what I would pay for an exhaust install

ak335 · 12-30-2009, 05:59 PM

And if anyone local wants to do the install that would be great

and ofcoruse i will pay a decent amount

I installed two of these before and there is nothing tricky about the install. I'd look up Clem & Co. to see if they could do it.

If you want a shop to do it, give Mach V in Sterling a call.

Also note, you will need a pick up truck to take your stock exhaust home. The stocker is 8 feet long.

Clem · 12-30-2009, 06:53 PM

I'd offer up my services, but I've got my hands full right now with superchargers and what not.

Maybe in a week or two. Nothing really tricky about installing exhaust systems on these cars....unless they fit poorly and I've seen a few of those. IMO, $100 to $150 is a fair price and is what I usually charge.

And the stock systems are a lot longer than 8'. I've got 4 of them stacked up in my garage!

Curry's tried to give me trouble about the Performance Exhaust install. Quoted me $200, then tried to charge for 4 hours labor. I walked out paying the $200, but I would go elsewhere for an install.

Adam do I need to fill out some tax forms for working at your shop?

I try to bite my tongue every time I see a ref to Curry's...but damn those guys are serious crooks.

Clem you want to add #5 to your collection? Mine is getting lonely ever since I sold the 335...
