Shop or Someone to Install X-Pipe in SF-Bay Area?
Hi Guys!
I'm based in SF Bay Area and looking for recommendations for a shop for installing my Borla X-Pipe (at a good price ) or if anyone has experience installing it at home would be open to that as well!
Thanks,
Steve

Not familiar with the exhaust geometry on the GS and how tight the pipes are to the rest of the structure, but installing an x-pipe could require dropping the pipes so as to be able to weld the top parts of the pipes...
And then there are the guys who say they can weld the top while installed???

There isn't any welding or cutting required for the C7 pipe...just a matter of getting it up on a lift...most shops seem to upcharge since it isn't legal for them to remove secondary cats.

I've used concord muffler ( obviously in concord ). steve is very creative on installations.
he was able to install a 4" single pipe exhaust ( from the cat's back, mitered over the axle, into a single 4" flowmaster in/out muffler ).
he used 4" diesel piping. never had an axle issue with clearance ( '98 Z/28, lowered about 1" ).
had other shops say they've never seen this on a 4th gen F-body.
but I'm sure that any reputable shop could handle any 'vette.
