Default Who can install exhaust systems?

I was wondering I live in Bloomington, Indiana and have no real mechanical expertise. I am purchasing a mid pipe and catback soon and was wondering where a good place to have it installed at?

Any reputable muffler shop can do it especially if you are bringing the parts to them.

I don't live around you, but I do knowthat it is pretty easy to swap a mid-pipe and catback in a few hours.

Tools needed:

Jack
Jack stands
basic socket set
3/8 swivel connector
2' of extensions
wd40
patience
passenger manifold gasket

If you have a place to do it it is pretty easy except for the left hand bolt on the passenger manifold that is a *****. lol

Good luck with the parts

me and my dad put on magnaflow catbacks this past saturday, took about 4 hours, the biggest pain was getting the curved around the axle, that was a pain in the ass, other than not it should not be too hard, we had to reuse to bolts that connected to catback to the mid pipe, but since ur installing a mid pipe as well you may have new ones already, but just get the right tools and a couple jacks and DIY

Just make sure, you have four good jack stands. Something heavy enough, to get you high enough for clearance. I've installed every one of mine, from front to back and you should have all new hardware with your system. Good Luck, Mike. SCT Tuner.

okay sounds a little bit simpler to do yourself. is there any welding involved? also if i decide to take it to a shop does Midas do mufflers and exhausts?
