Do you guys know any shop that can install a catless downpipe? I'm located by usc, in downtown la.. planning on doing it this Saturday

Call Ikonic Auto in Silver Lake. Cole and Imran are great. Tell them Sean with the 335 sent you.

They are asking for 250. Hmm

:
I thought these would go anything from 100-180 install?

yoon_209 · 05-11-2018, 04:42 PM

it takes about 2 hours for install. so 250 sounds about right when you factor $90-120/hr depending on the shop.

Plus its illegal so be happy that they actually willing to do the service.

It does not take 2 hours to install a downpipe on a 435i. More like 1 hour or less, if the technician is competent. It shouldn't cost more than $150 for installation.

I did my downpipe in a hour (: I'm not a mechanic and have no knowledge but thank god for YouTube videos

Did IKONIC move to NoHo? Looks like they’re around the corner from me. I will reach out to them if my local guy refuses to install.

Funny I did just mine today. Took me 2-3 hours. YouTube videos helped a lot.

Few tips: You'll need to drop the muffler and grab a bottle of wd40 as well. The band at the turbo side is a pita to take out and put back but patience, some beer, and you'll get it done.

Once you get the stock out, it's easy from there. Grab a friend to help.
