HELP IN HOUSTON!!!
I am going to be getting my Corsa Indys in the next couple weeks. I was wondering if anyone knew a good place around the Houston area to take them to get installed?? Also, How much does something like that cost?
I installed a Tanabe exhaust On my 99' prelude a couple years ago but it was hell getting under the car with just the jacks. Not going to mess with it again.
Thanks

Re: HELP IN HOUSTON!!! (VETTEBOY12)
Had mine installed at MTI. I could not have been happier. They made sure the tips lined up right, they have the proper lifts, the know vettes and they made sure all was right. I think I paid $110. Any muffler shop will probably charge you $50 or $60 but piece of mind is worth $50 any day of the week. You dont want someone treating your car like a Yugo know what I mean.

My first exhaust was installed by Meineke. They did a great job and took their time. My PRT's were put on by Corvettes of Houston and they did a good job as well. They also provided good follow up service when one of the tips was crooked.

Re: HELP IN HOUSTON!!! (Vette-Racer)
Thanks for the replies guys.......The guy I bought my car from a few months back had all of the work done at MTI. (Donaldson Intake, Underdrive Pulley, tips, etc) It sounds like the place to go.....I will probably have the exhaust in the next week or so and be ready to take it in. Thanks again for your help!!

Re: HELP IN HOUSTON!!! (VETTEBOY12)
If you have tall enough jack stands and a jack that get the car up that high...these exhaust are pretty much easy. I'm talking about the ones that use stock mounting points. you need to be at least 30 something inches off the ground in the back. Otherwise, go to the cheapest shop that installs them!

Sorry for the confusion. I don't work for Speed Demon. I just quoted their original post. See this thread for information on their Corsa's sale prices:

If you want to do it yourself, you are welcome to use my lift. I have everything but a welder to tack weld the final setup to keep it from slipping.

Re: HELP IN HOUSTON!!! (Snowman)
SNOWMAN: Thank you for the offer.....I might take you up on that. Hve you installed an exhaust on them before?? I have never worked on a vette but I assume it would be the same as any other bolt on exhaust....The hardest part should be getting the stock exhaust off......I want to make sure everything tunrs out ok....Thanks again for all the replies.
