Never pay anyone to do something like that. You and 1 friend, basic tools and a lot of 3/8" extensions will get it done.

Here's my problem anytime I pay someone to do work on our cars (rare) I end up finding issues and having to redo it since if I take it back they will just F it up again or blame someone else.

Frank Hill is one of the few people I'd trust my car with.

Nothing pisses me off more then saving time by paying someone to do sometihng only to spend the same time that was saved fixing their problem.

Kellys isn't shady they just don't really mess with that type of install. They do more like fabrication and really don't seem to have a steady employee. Theirs always new people in that place. Shinny should be able to do a test pipe install.

I meant to say sketchy cause I call today and it literally took 3 people to answer the question of can you install straight pipes on my z my blitz nur exhaust resonator. At first they were like then i said never mind, Thank you...Now im debating on who to go to for this pretty straight forward project.

Well that's what I thought that there response would be.
They're not that knowledgeable in certain areas.

Danny aka Shinny aka steeeeze should be able to do that.

What do think they might charge me for this job because after the exhaust is put on the cars being sent to the body shop to get re-sprayed,fenders rolled,new body kit etc...If the jobs under $800 then I'll be fine

And then they fell off, causing me to spin out of control hitting 3 cars in the process.

I'm the same way as this guy, I don't have alot of tools or that much wrenching experience beyond simple things. And from what I observed, other than losing some skin off his knuckles and slightly messing up his hair it seemed to be a pretty simple job for Jeffie to do.
