Downpipe install in Bay area

BeeEyez · 03-07-2018, 03:53 PM

Hey all, looking to see if there is any good shop recommendations for a catless downpipe install on my 435 in the bay area? Ive reached out to a couple places and one of them said that they will not install a catless DP because its not CARB legal. has any one had good experiences with any shops locally that I could stop by and get it done at?

I take my 435 over to HtL motorsports in Santa Clara, check out there page on instagram. I get all my work done by Danny

Any thoughts on DIYing it?

Performance Autowerk in Dublin. They do a good job and wouldn't care about doing installs like that since they do anything and everything from simple oil changes to full on track-prep. Relatively cheap too, if you ask me.

I had mine installed at a local shop in Oakland. Charged like $125 I think. Wasn't like a specialty Indy shop but you're not going to find anything cheaper, everyone I called wanted $275+. Job was relatively quick and clean. Didn't clip o2 sensor all the way but that was an easy fix on my part

Any recommendations in the city?

I think the quote I got in the city is around 200-250 as well.

Really? And yours is holding up well? Sweet! Thanks for the heads up. I know exactly where it is. I know the previous owner.

I was contacting a few places and HTL quoted me a hundreds for m perf exhaust install if that’s any metric.

Honestly, you can do catless downpipes yourself. It took me and a buddy less than three hours. All we really needed was a 90 degree adapter and an O2 sensor remover. The hardest part was removing/installing the top bolt closest to the turbo imo.

On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the hardest I give it a 6.5/10.
