Anyone in the Tri-state area that might be able to assist me in a do it myself project???? Hoping to have my Ti Exhaust by the end of the week. Anyone who might be able to help me on this project , feel free to let me know. I am in Queens NY. Probably willing to go up to 75 miles if you can assist on this.
Thanks.......if not....then they wait until i get the headers and x pipe to go on!!!!!!!

Sorry, I'm a little too far to help. However, I just did the Ti mufflers on Saturday. I had the use of a garage lift and a friend who has done two other mufflers swaps. My car was in the air at 9:05AM and the job was done at 9:55AM with all nuts and bolts torqued to factory specs and a billet aluminum exhaust plate in place. I have a 6-speed so the install was a little easier than on an auto tranny. Good luck with your install.

I am also booked for next weekend and I may be free the following sunday..

I live in East Meadow which isn't too far from you...

You would have to ask one of the other people who installed an exhuast. It might be enough if you cut the old exhaust out..I don't have a saws-all or an exhaust pipe cutter, but I might be able to
borrow one from a friend. (Note: I do NOT have air tools.. I have lots of ratches and wrenches, so you might want to check on that too..I don't think it will be a problem as I removed the headers on my old firebird w/o air tools)

It looks like I can be free this Sunday morning/early afternoon. (It is the wifes birthday, but she will be busy all morning) and I will be out of town next Sunday..

Installed my Stingers on my 01 A4 Coupe in 2 hours using Rhino ramps, hydraulic floor jack, jack stands and a Sawzall. I'm probably too far from you to be of any help - 06333 in CT, but I'll be glad to help if you need it.
