Thanks Joez for the quick reply. Looks like I have all the tools for the install. I have changed brake pads for my Toyota rav4 although this was a year ago. I won't lie I have never installed a full exhaust system but how difficult can it be? Lift the car remove old exhaust and bolt on the new exhaust. Might take me longer to do it, but I think I can do it.
I have 4x6 ton jack stands and have a hydraulic jack which should do the job. Hope fully everything will go smoothly. The only thing I am worried about is the O2 sensor, I read that many people had a problem with this. If all goes good I might just post a DIY on this. Although I wont be doing this till end of October when I move into my new house.

I recommend having a friend arround to assist.. It will make a big difference.
So some basic tools, WD-40 & the O2 sensor tool and your good to go..
Looking foward to when you have it all done..

Joe Z,
I've purchased the Street performance version, it should be here in a week or so. Do you think i can have the exhaust install at Midas? I think it's a national chain that do all types of services. Let me know.
thanks,
kuki

hmmmmmmmmmmm.....for those have ordered the exhaust, how long did it takes for it to ship? I've ordered my for a week, and i have not heard anything i.e no tracking number or pm replied. I know i have to be patience, but when you paid for something, you want to know or the estimate time when to receive the item.

Call 1-310-522-2383 and ask Luis what the status is. I had to call several times and it ended up shipping probably two weeks after it was quoted to be shipped. Just keep calling until you get a tracking #. If they say it'll ship Tuesday, call Tuesday and check. They'll probably tell you Wednesday. Call Wednesday and ask again. So on and so forth.

I called and left 2 messages without any return calls. Oh my goodness man, what kind of business are they running? I mean if it's not available, just tell the customer that their on backordered. Why the heck you keep silience and ignore the customer? Man, if i know this ahead of time, i will NOT order the damn exhaust. It just ruined the whole experience!

^^ Hmm interesting... Sorry to hear you guys are having or had these issues..
I am going to call them first thing in the morning to see what's been happening..
We will get you a solid answer tomorrow with your order status..
As far as I know, we have NO exhaust systems on backorder at this time.
I did notice on 10/1 you mentioned purchasing the exhaust and that it should be to you in approx 1 week..
Thank You
Joe Z

Im sorry Kuki, it's my fault. I was out on thursday and didnt get your messages till Joe Z hit me up with the info. Your exhaust was already picked up and is waiting for UPS to swing by and pick it up today. I will have the tracking in your inbox by 3 pm today.

well i can chill if i know whether the exhaust is shipped or not. I just want to know when can i expect it to ship or get to me.
Yeah, i know i am anxious, but that's why i ordered it. If not then i can keep my money in the bank and call it good.
BTW, thanks Joe Z for responding :-)

WOW!! Received at 4pm (10/10/08) and installed @ 5pm and i am very happy with everything. After 2 weeks for wait, and all i can say is WOW! Thanks for a wonderful exhaust Joe Z, even though i paid for it :-)
Update: After tonight driving home, i notice that when i went over bumps or rough surface, i hear noises (like the exhaust boucing up and down and hit the under-side of the car), is this normal? I dont think so, but i thought i'd ask before i bring it back to the shop.
thanks,
