Please help! Problem with hfc's
Let's me start by saying thanks in advance. So recently I purchased some aam competition high flow cats for my 2005. My uncle is a mechanic and said he should be able to install them with no problem. So he puts the car on the lift and sees the bolts are a little rusted and says that he can't do it because the bolts could snap. So he recommends me to this local shop that does welding and they want $500 just to weld the cats on. This sounds absolutely ridiculous. What should I do? I live in the south jersey area if that helps at all. I feel like 500 is way to much just to weld the cats on. Please help.

Go with your gut. If one of the studs snap just air hammer it out and replace with a bolt and done. If one of the bolts snap, well just replace it.
The studs from Nissan is $2.8 I believe and the nut is around that price so lets say $6 for the pair. I needed 2 pairs for each side. Should be an easy fix. Don't forget the gaskets. I also got a quote for a weld for a hairline fracture on my unattached cat. It was $45. |
My gut was right $500 is way too expensive.
Check out this thread here https://my350z.com/forum/intake-exha...ing-quote.html I think this guy paid $60. |
