Congrats! A shop shouldn't charge you much to install it, since it is all bolt on.

If you're around the 60 freeway around where it connects to the 57 in Rowland heights area, there is a place called SPEEDWAY MUFFLER. Look them up, they're on the yellowpages and they charge about $30..well for me at least..they can charge as much labor as they want depending how much they like you..so just make small talk

You don't need to jack up the car to put an exhaust on?

It's tight fitting so i think you will need to jack up the car, unless you're 100 pounds with a slim waist.

I used car ramps, placed under rear wheels and backed it up to lift the end up, you can do it urself, one of easiest mod ever, you can use a lil wd40 to lube the gourmets up to make it easier to remove. I recieved my exhaust from showstoppers in two days including processing
