Hey guys I am about to order my Invidia and I will be installing it myself, i just wanted to ask if I HAVE to get me some jack stands(i have two jacks, is that not enough)? and do I HAVE to get another persons help?
thanks!

..Also, about how much would a shop charge for the install, i have been thinking about getting a shop to weld in an H-pipe for me, so if I did that I would have them just install the whole thing for me as well..

 

install would probably run around 150ish

 

Get jack stands, it'll be safer than just using jacks. Where in Texas are you? If you're in the SA area, I know several places that can install the exhaust for you.

^ will that be sufficient? Will 2 jack stands work good enough?


edit: what about these? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-TON...38899772QQrdZ1

 

take it to a muffler shop, if you are in dfw area go to kinneys muffler, afterwards you can get it welded if you wanted so you dont have to worry about leaks later

 

You can also get the jack stands from Walmart. Two should be sufficient.

 

will i need a torque wrench?

 

nah, just tighten by hand without breaking any bolts and you should be fine.

if you can get your hands on some anti-sieze it's nice putting it on the bolt threads, it will prevent serious corrosion on the bolts and lubricate the threads, letting you torque the bolts down better as well as help ease disassembly.

never get under your car without at least jack stands supporting it.

A jack seems like it's holding great, up until the point where it loses pressure and the car falls on your head...

 

thanks! yeah im gonna go pick up some jack stands tomorrow, exhaust should be in Thursday..
