so i drop my cra off so they can freakin do the dp and exhaust.

the guy calls me and say will do the exhaust even though we shouldn't.. but we wont install you ss downpipe. because its a cattalac converter and something with the o2sensor and that it would be illegal. ugggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg, damnittt

o and they r charging me 157 dollars to freaking intall a downpipe. yayyy, ****

im on a freakin roll 500 to install springs,(havnt done it yet) and 157 for the exhaust, wonder what the downpipe is going to be

 

Which DP do you have? Is it the ZZP? If they are saying it is "illegal", they are full of s**t. Take your business somewhere else bro.

 

springs are very easy to do yourself.

 

wtf?, how can an oem part be illegal
also, i think ur pretty much getting raped on the install of everything.
You should just do it urself, save some money.
That extra 500 probly could have gone toward a turbo setup.
That does suck though, id say if anything find a new shop cuz it sounds like whoever is doing your work right now has no idea what they are talking about and is charging you way to much

 

what??? how can he tell u its illegal? the only way to tell is if u take it to an emissions place, as long as u have a cat ur fne, *** tht place

 

unless the cat is gutted or non exsistant than it is legal. tell the guy to swallow your **** and install the midpipe yourself. it takes literally 15 minutes to install a midpipe while up on jackstands. maybe 30 or 40 due to jacking it up then removal.

 

Yea man do the work yourself, I was a little wary of doing my own work at first, but as soon as I started I got the bug, and now I don't want to stop. I do work for everybody now lol

 

the downpipe is easy. maybe 30 minutes. i did my header in 45 and that was a bitch. but the DP is easy.

 

but now it sucks, cuz he is installing the exhaust, so if i wanated to instal the downpipe, i have to disconnect the exhaust. **** i should have just done it all myself.....

are the springs are easy to install.. how long does that take???????

 

call him and ask him why exactly hes not doing the DP, there full of BS if its for emmissions reasons. anyway, WTF does he care?

 

it depends on the state you are in... unfortunately in virginia, any modification to your exhaust that makes it louder then stock is illegal unless installed from the factory/dealer option upon purches of the vehical...

thank god my car is registered in michigan, so i get left alone in virginia about that kinda stuff

go to dyno inc. or millenium in portsmouth, or you can take it to dyno tuned performance in chesapeak

performance shop will do the work no questions asked

rear springs arnt bad at all, you will need jack stands and a srping compressor to swap them out (can rent one from auto zone)

the front on the other hand, you have to take the entire strut off, take it to a shop that has a hydrolic spring compressor and then swap out the spring and re-assemble

 

i didnt have to take my strusts to a shop... did it myself...

 

its virginia, home of the common welth = aka legal communisum

 

500 to do springs? dude you are getting ripped off,... and why dont you just do all the work yourself... much cheaper and you konw whats happening to your car....

 

its safer with a hydrolic compressor... if you use the mechanical compressor it could slip off while you take the retaining nut off and send that thing rocketing across the room/area you are in.... happend to me once before so i swear by hydrolic compressors now

 

thts fukin BS, im never moving there!!

 

nuff said

 

uhh ya, i think if i had a spring compressor slip i would use a hydraulic one to... lucky tht didnt happen but those things are under allot of pressure... could easily crack ur skull if the bolt hit ur head.

 

also, for a lot of performance cxars, or just any. in va... a reckless ticket amounts to like close to 5 thoousand dollar. a new law.. but now judges can decide to or not to give it to you.. other states, it barley hits 500 dollars for a reckless


hahaha, i love that highway sighn above me... haha,, its soo true... 200 for not stopping at a stop sighn

 

i think i paid 150 in FL for my recless driving ticket a while ago. its just a moving non-criminal violation here

 

Either they are the biggest scammers or you have gullable written accross your forehead.

How old are you?

 

umm springs? are you sure you read that right it says nothing about springs...

i got a reckless in chesepeake and it was 212 dollars... i was doing 84 in a 55 and got pulled, becasue some car passed me doing 95 at least and the cop said he would have been able to catch up with him.....

but no reckless in va is really not that much...

hey adam they can still hit you for te aftermarket parts on the car, becasue your perm. duty station is in va, while your car is registered in mich, its still housed here in va and they can get you for it, and they will win it. I happened to a guy at my command about a month ago. He went to court yesterday, and they made him submit a sr-22 to his insurance company, and his car his inspection sticker was pulled, he had 30 days to go back to stock or they pull his plates. His car was registered in pa too...

 

dude, r u kidding, like a year ago or 2 years ago. richmond area set the law in place. and finally like 4 or 5 months ago they droppped it, but the judges can still enforce up to that much. ur just lucky.

and whoever teh **** asked, why, i dunno, but i'm 19, and i'm not a mechanic. so **** you.. thanks for telling me i gullible, or went to a scam place. i thought this site was created to help people like me, who don't know how much or how to instal downpipes or exhaust. sorry.

don't be a ****** *******

 

I pmed u darkhulk

 

Its not the SS downpipe that's illegal, its removing a working OEM catalytic convertor that is against federal law.
