anyone can install an exhaust if you have a hand saw and a wrench... i would NEVER pay to have one done, and neither should anyone else... this is pretty much the most basic install you can do, and anyone that CAN'T do this probably shouldn't mod their car... not being a dick, but it's a piece of cake and you'll feel better knowing that you put it on with your own hands... i'm sure someone in the area would be willing to help... if you were local to me, i'd show you how to do it in exchange for a beer!

hopatcong, huh? haha... i'm not too far off of 80 myself... i'm probably about half an hour or so away from you, let me know when you want to do it... if you have a garage we can do it whenever, otherwise preferably when it's a lil warmer out!

that's not funny... what's funny is when the car falls off the jack while you're under it...

keep a long story short, i would NEVER get under a car only on a jack to do anything besides just look around...
