Hi fellow Montrealer...I'm this close to buy myself a real goodie and go ahead with the magnaflow cat back.... But i thought and seems that i was not this far from reality that maybe it will be hard for me to find a garage willing to install it to me since they don't make any money with the parts only with the time.Do you know a correct garage that would accept to do the swap?thanks

Hmmmm... Well let's only say that i'm not (and i mean NOT) a mechanical guy... Did put in place the Cosmo Short ram and everything seems fine... but cat back exhaust seemed to me like alot of trouble to change. Anyway maybe i wont have any choice...

I would call any Speedy mufler or Midas, I'm sure they would do the job...As long as you wait for the tire rush to be done.Good luck with your project!

Basically, it's 2 bolts to remove/change. Yes, equipped with the right tools, it would be easy!

personnally, I didn't lose time to put it myself. I took the Yellow Pages, call few shop asking their rate to install a custom exhaust. The cheaper was 45$/hr, so I went there, I took 20 minutes and it cost me 15$ (Canadian dollars). So over all, time for calling, drive there and come back, 40 min, without having to jack the car, crouch under it, cut the pipe with a saw I had to buy just for that without being sure at the good palce, ... it was worth it!

If not, then we'll see...I got mine installed at Advance EFI in Longueuil , 50 bucks, great guys down there. I came in with the exhaust, they were busy and installed it on the spot anyway.
