who did this?

Rallyecivic · 08-15-2007, 12:40 PM

Who installed their own exhaust and who had it done by a shop?
I'm leaning towards a shop because i don't have a lift or ramps..Just a jack which I heard is for fixing flat tires only?
But I'd rather be able to say I installed my own exhaust..

Buy jackstands for $30, and do it yourself

Agreed. Also, if for some reason you're unwilling to buy jackstands, I'm betting you know SOMEONE who has a set & will let you borrow them at worst.

Yea dont let a shop charge you for something you can do yourself and learn a little bit about your car.

jkocr2 · 08-15-2007, 12:56 PM

did my own with jackstands took an hour

I've done exhaust systems myself on countless cars. However, this time I let a shop do it. I don't mind the additional cost at this point, and would rather be doing anything else instead.

If you've never done it though, I would recommend giving it a whirl.

is it hard? all i've installed was CAI, Header, and High flo cat on my EG civic?
It looks easy? just wasn't sure

**GeezerSi** · 08-15-2007, 01:07 PM

if you can do those things you can install an exhasut....its a simple unbolt the old and bolt in the new.

Rallyecivic · 08-15-2007, 01:23 PM

ok sweet i think ill try installing myself...

Also..I called around my local shops and no one carries the Skunk2 or greddy exhausts!
Should I just order from Skunk2.com??

NIGHTHAWKSI · 08-15-2007, 01:24 PM

corsport is a sponsor of the forum and is selling the skunk2 exhaust for 495 shipped.

The evo2 is nice. It sounds stock but after 4k RPM it has a nice, deep, loud sound.
