Recommendations on shop to do exhaust install?
Hello fellow New-Englanders...
I'm about to pick up a full exhaust system (Issues with the stock cats expedited the decision...
), and I think I can tackle the turbo back portion, but I highly doubt I can do the Up-pipe.
I'm in Keene, NH. Can you think of any places in the surrounding area that would be recommended to do this install? I'll probably have them do the whole thing since I'd have to do it on jackstands, but the real concern is a shop that is familiar with the EJ uppipe.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I think the problem I'll have there is that any official dealer won't install aftermarket up-pipes because of the cat removal. Might be a problem. Any thoughts?

I asked them the same thing about a year and a half ago. The guy at Exeter said they'll do it as long as you understand your emmissions warranty is exempt as long as the after market stuff is on there. If there ever was a problem with my emissions they said they would re-install the original stuff, for a fee, and then diagnose whatever the issue was.
In other words don't expect them to cover a CE light if your cats are gone and the code is related to that. But, they wont red flag your VIN for having and aftermarket exhaust. They want you as a repeat customer, not a p**sed-off one time customer. They'll gladly put anything on your car, but that 30k service is what they really want to do for people.
You should call one or both of those places. Talk to them personally.
They will ease your concerns.

I had my OEM up-pipe gutted & re-installed while I waited, by Mid State Performance, in Leominster Ma. They are on Rt.12
It took 5 hrs. but the cost was $145.00 That's a good deal.
Another installer in New Hampshire is, Connect Motorsports.
They have a shop in Pelham, and a store in Windham.
Talk to Steve @ 603-894-9700 They also have an AWD dyno.
