Well, it's looking like the Turbonetics turbo kit will be in my hands first week of February and we're looking at our install options. I might do this myself, but right now I want to keep my options open. So the first question is:

Who in DFW area should I trust with the install?

Secondly, even if I do the install myself a custom exhaust will have to be made which leads us to the second question:

Are there any reputable exhaust shops I should check out?

I can always drive the car back to Austin and have my favorite shop do it, but I thought I'd see what you guys/glas had in mind.

 

www.simplequickracing.com ....is all i got to say....best work best price..... and fair and honest.... call and talk to daniel.... 817-738-RACE..(7223)....



good luck................................................... POOTY

 

Yup.. they seem to have a good shop over there, i liked it..

or you can do it yourself and ill help you, easiest way to get the kit done in one day would be getting a extra oilpan and having it tapped already before the install..

and custom exhaust should not be needed, if you are buying a bolt on kit it *should* bring a downpipe that would connect to the stock cat back. If you are talking about having a custom 3" turbo back or catback, then Kinneys Muffler in the HEB area i think they are located.

 

Exactly. I wanted to let the engine breath a little better. Custom 3" catback is exactly what I was thinking.

 

If you are going custom you might as well go with a 3" turbo back.. custom downpipe and custom cat back..

Somebody should start making a 3" mass production of cat backs and downpipes for the tC!!!!

 

True, I really need to see the Turbonetics kit in person first though. Everything's an option right now.

 

Yeah once the kit is in your hands is a lil bit better to see what you are dealing with..

My offer still stands, if you need help let me know man, im always down to get dirty.

 

yeah i would just call and talk to daniel on this and see what would be best cause he'll know......what you need after he looks at the kit ....... good luck with the insatll who ever you go with....... i wish a had a turbo car... hell i wish i had a car over a 100HP....what tha........thats sad....but atleast mines pretty

 

at least you are ___ enough to call your car pretty man...

 

I am gonna tell you right now that fitting a 3" all the way back is gonna be tough. I dont remember if that shop had a mandrel bender, but it is really tough to mandrel bend a 3" S pipe, the rest isnt bad.
Trust me, I have a full 3" mandrel bent header back exhaust. Then when I swapped cars from the N/A to the S/C i had to rebend my S-Pipe at an exhaust shop. So no more 3" mandrel all the way back, now its about a 2.75 at the bends in the S-Pipe, but it sounds MEAN!!!
