Default Recommendations for shop in/near Oakland to install HKS exhaust?

Hey guys,

I know it's kind of a newbie question, but can anyone recommend me a shop near or in Oakland to install my HKS Ti exhaust (it's going to be here this week)? I'm too much of a n00bie and too lazy to install this myself and would be happy to pay a shop to install it for me. The closer to Oakland the better...

PS: How much should I expect to pay for this install? I've read around 1 hour of labor = ~ $75?

Thanks!

1. six pack of beer $10
2. wd-40 $5
3. jack stands $40
4. cursing every bad word possible and installing it yourself, PRICELESS

its a easy install. save yourself the money and do it yourself unless you are clueless about what to do.

+1 it really isn't that hard
Best tip I can give you is spray ALOT of wd40 on every bolt and let it soak in for a few minutes. The hardest part is getting the exhaust hangers out, which is where wd40 will work again.

id spray wd40 and leave it over night and do it again before you start taking it apart.

and about the hangers part, thats when you'll use every curse word possible.
