Default M2 installation????

Hey fellows, decided to grab the m2 exhaust and give it a shot.
Cost me ~400 to ship it to canada with import duties.

Now, anyone have a good write up or pictures of how to install it? Taking it to a shop and get it installed for 300 bucks does not sound like a plan


Best,
Jeff

Hey Jeff, $300 sounds extremely expensive for install. The exhaust is easy to install so I don't think it's worth paying. Jack up the car with a 3 ton jack and do it yourself. It doesn't have o2 sensors so you'll have it done in no time.

Yeah, use that money to purchase jack stands and a good jack...if you don't have some already. Its a cake job really, and that price is CRAZY high!

If your car is stock height you dont NEED any ramps. They will be helpful though

True, I did Bob's HKS install on stock height lol. Used the jack once but beside that stock height give you plenty of room depending on how big you are.
