Default Tanabe exhaust instilation

yo how much do you think it would cost to have a service shop install my tanabe concept g on my tc, given that it is a bold on axle back that should not take more than a half hour to do.

why pay a shop to do it when you can do it yourself?

Go to a friend's house and do it. It's only two bolts and three rubber exhaust hangers.

just take a jack and stands to ur friend's house and do it there and say u did it at a shop. thats what i did when my parents didn't allow me to do things by myself. now they realised that i have the skills to loosen bolts and tighten them again, so its no longer a problem. plz dont flame me for being a teenager w/ a tC.....

Saving money is key! Shops will just run you through the ground with their prices.

Just do it yourself at a buddies house. If you can get some decent stands that let you under the car, it should be a 30 minute install tops. You'll have a little bit of trouble taking the hanger off at first, I sugest you twist it to the right and left it when you pull and it should come off easily. Do it on a school night and make up a believable excuse. Your shop class did it for you as a project sounds reasonable to me. Best of all it was free right??

When I work on cars with buddies, we usually get together with tools and ramps, and meet up at the parking structure at our university. Just pick a Friday night and gather at a floor where not many people go up to.
