Question Good Place in East County for Downpipe Swap?

I'd like to swap out my downpipe back to OEM. Any shops out near Brentwood/Antioch that can help out?

Cool

Or maybe a shop in the Concord/WC area that someone could recommend? I guess I'm just trying to avoid driving all the way to Hayward again (where I had my Oakos dp installed).

If you don't mind the drive, come see us in Redwood City. Give me call if you're interested.

Hmm, the thought did cross my mind... I checked out a few of the threads on scoobymods.com. I have the tools, but I'm not sure if I've got the skills for it. I've installed easy stuff, like audio, cat-backs, a boost gauge, shocks (my previous truck), but the downpipe swap seems a little more complicated as I really want to make sure there are not any leaks. If anyone who is East County local that would be willing to help, lmk!

Are you sure they are a vendor here? I didn't see them on the forum vendor page...

Does anyone have an address or phone number for S&S Autosport? I tried a search here and on Google, but could find an address in Concord, CA.

If you want, there is a guy on here that lives in Oakley that would totally be down to help you out with your DP. He helped show me how to do it and now i can do it by myself. Im sure if you offer him a lil money he would do it faster and probably better than most shops lol. PM him, his name is Ryan AKA wrxisthebest. Just figure i would throw that out there.
