I'm looking for recommendations for shops in Orange County CA to do an exhaust install. How much should I expect to pay?

Thanks!

 

This is really a basic job for any independent Porsche shop. I imagine they would charge 3-4 hours??? You sure you don't want to do it yourself? It's actually a really fun DIY which does not require much technical skill. Which system do you have?

 

A fellow OC'r. I usually go to SMS in Huntington Beach but I just did full scale upgrades including exhaust with Sam in N. Hollywood at Speed Gallery. I helped him remove my old AWE exhaust. Took about 1.5 hour...so figure another 1.5-2 max to get the new one back on and the sensors plugged back in. Figure about $400. I'd recommend doing it yourself if you got the tools (cresent wrench set or socket set, allen wrenches depending on existing system)...it wasn't that hard (I'm sure somebody has a youtube video of the process somewhere) and put the $400 toward other upgrades.

 

Agree if you have time and enjoy working on your car give it a try, changing the exhaust is not bad.

 

The only extra tool I would suggest is the 02 sensor wrench for ~ 5-10 bucks at harbor freight to make getting the sensors off easily.
