Just purchased the 2.5" Thermal R&D Cat Back Exhaust System new from Thermal R&D, should be here next week. Anybody have any idea of what it should cost to have it installed and how long approximately it should take to install?
Also, if you live in North Carolina (Piedmont Triad Area) and have any recommendations on a good place to install it that would be helpful as well. Thanks

A good muffler shop should be able to knock it out in less than an hour of shop time. Try calling around and asking for quotes, some probably won't do the work and some will. The installation is easy if you have access to a lift and YouTube.

It looks pretty straight forward on YouTube but I don't have access to a lift, not sure I want to tackle it with a jack and jack stands in the driveway, ha-ha

These are a breeze to do on the driveway with the rear end lifted. A mechanic's creeper, while optional, will make things easier.

A pair of ramps, basic hand tools and an hour or so in the driveway is all you need.
