Default Installing Megan Test Pipes

Does anyone know where I can get my test pipes installed around the Cupertino / Santa Clara / Sunnyvale area? I tried Z Car Garage, but they are booked til the end of the month. I don't have any air tools, nor do I have the proper tools, so can't do it myself. Thanks!!

any muffler shop can do it. No need to pay PREMIUM price for test pipe installation.

actually. typical muffler shops will not do this for you. It is a big fine to remove emissions equipment and knowingly put testpipes on.

so only tuner shops will do it.

Hi Bubbles, where is Tommy Auto Body located? Do you have a number or address? I just moved up here from LA and still very unfamiliar with the area. Thanks for all your help!

dude do it yourself.. all u need is some jack stands and an elbow in order to remove the dam freaking top bolts.. I did mine myself.. also make sure you tie them up good and keep re-tieing after a few days so the gaskets can seal and not rattle..

You managed to take the bolts off without an air compressor? How did you have room to torque the top bolts off from the bottom of the car? I tried turning them and they are on there pretty good! LOL.
