Where can I go to get my downpipe installed on a Saturday?

Looking for a place to get my downpipe installed today before I go back to San Diego tomorrow. I am going to try to call GST to see if they can schedule me in, but I want to see if I had other options in case they don't have any openings. Preferably near fremont/union city/milpitas/hayward would be nice. Thanks.

Chances are a friendly i-clubber with some free time and a taste for lunch/beer can help you out. EQTuning is out of your way but I'll pitch for them if they aren't full up.

Are you going down there just for a trip? I'd suggest NOT doing anything to the car before taking a long trip out of the area, as a general rule of thumb incase something goes wrong, however...

Naw, I'm going back to school because spring break just ended and I don't know any shops over there.

Haha it's not a 2.5i, I just traded my friend for his 02 wrx for the time being. He had the dp installed and the car tuned but swapped the downpipe back to stock and flashed it back to the oem map so he can get his car smogged. I'm going to be using the same exact dp and map, so i just need the dp installed.

As for the name haha I get stuff for it on every thread.

I can't install it for myself because I don't have my tools here or a jack, also I have never worked on a subie before. My 2.5i was mostly aesthetic stuff.

The community in SD isn't too big for subies either =/

Hopefully a member wants to do it. i'll pay you good cash marneez

thanks for the offer, a 2 hour drive is far =/ I wouldn't mind if it was on the way down south. I'll let you know if all else fails. What time do you close?

GST guys are down at Buttonwillow this weekend for RTA. Might give LIC or SpeedElement a call, but I figure most Saturdays are by appointment only. I think the best bet is so bribe a fellow I-Clubber with food or money.

LOL! Just saw your thread. Looks like we're both looking up shops open on Saturdays and are both too far from the shops open.
