Default Borla Stinger install DE, PA, NJ area HELP!

Hi there, I just got a used set of Borla Stingers and would love some help from anyone who lives in the Delaware, Pennsylvania or Jersey area who's installed a catback system on their C6 before. Even if you just have some advice on a shop that would be able to do it for a good price I'd really appreciate the help!

Thanks!

Really, you dont have to travel. I had the same dilemma trying to find somebody. All I did was find a competent muffler shop in my local area. Its no big deal you will be fine there.

I live over in Bear Delaware. I called a shop called Fenkell Auto and they wanted $210 for the install, which seemed way too pricey for a catback install.

How much should I expect to pay for the install or what's fair?

I think I paid $125.00. Just make sure they are equipped to stretch the pipe openings as need be as they are A slip fit. I watched them do it and
its no big deal like getting A CAM installed or something that requires special expertise. BTW you will love tghe sound of those stoingers.

I got a message from Mike here on the forums to go over to B&P Performance in Claymont. In a matter of hours I received a call back and got them installed today by Ed over at B&P. It cost $100 and he does really good work. I'd suggest anyone in the area that needs any kind of installation work to give B&P Performance a call! BTW the stingers sound amazing and I'll post a video of the Melrose headers with stinger setup soon

Thanks for all the help guys!

Flywheel soon. Good luck with those Stingers.

I have put on Borla's on both my C6's in the driveway at home! It's a one hour job with a jack and two jack stands. Besides, do yourself and you know it's done right!!
