Default Dallas area exhaust shop that will put on catless x-pipe?

Having trouble finding an exhaust shop to put a Borla x-pipe on. Anyone know a place anywhere around the DFW area?

Absent that, how hard is it to do this yourself if you use a couple of jacks like this?

Didn't know about either of those. Is it best to call first and let them know what's up, or simply show up and ask for it to be done and play dumb?

Axle back wouldn't be removing any cats, though, right?

These are a very easy install, took me about an hour, really. Spray wd40 or similar product an hour or so ahead of time. I used my quickjack but jack stands will also work.

I used http://21stcenturymusclecars.com/ also for my corsa x-pipe and ZR1 mufflers. The nice part if they need to keep your car for a bit there is an Enterprise rental car within walking distance

LG is great I am told but they will not do cat less x pipe unless you trailer it to and from as off road. X pipe is really easy on jack stands unless you just don’t have tools or willingness to dive under. Corvette World as mentioned would be another choice.

looked at your profile, 2017 grand sport. i have never been under one of those, but looking at pics it doesnt seem like it would be too hard. does the c7 require jacking pucks like the c6's? that would be the only thing i wouldnt have. i have jacks, stands, tools etc.

I have jacking pucks installed already, so that’s one item down.
