Yeah I talked to him, I'm just getting some Test Pipes put on. But if they do well I'll use them as my main shop as parts start coming in.

I don't think you are going to be disappointed. I have never heard anything bad about his shop.


BTW, Joe also has a Nismo, so I know he will take care of ur Z.

Seems like a waste of money. I installed a set of TPs last Sunday by myself.

IMO, I would only go to a performance shop or bigger projects (i.e. engine work, drive train, etc). I understand that it's your car and you can make your own decisions. Lets us know how it works out for you.

you should be able to knock out test pipes with a few jacks or at an auto hobby shop in a couple hours.

I thought you was going to wait to have everything and install it at once.

I did man. Check my sign > Street Fire profile. I upp'd a vid there. I had to WD-40 the @#$% outa the stock exhaust but it eventually came off. I'm riding around with the SES on now..

blaze0303,
You might want to get a set of non-foulers before you install the TPs. This way you just had to do it once:

Joe is a great guy and I can vouch for the awesome service at Sage. I had them install my Stillen HFC's on my '07 after I managed to break the driver side upper bolt myself. I do/did most of my own work on my own or with the help of friends but that bolt was a nightmare.
