Good Indy Shop to Install Akrapovic Exhaust?

Hi guys

I'm close to ordering the Akrapovic slip-on system (+ sound controller) for my 1M - can anyone recommend me an Indy Shop that has done a few of these installations in Sydney? It would be good if you could also tell me how much I can expect.

My go-to has been Belmore Motor Works but based on my conversation with them I don't think they've done one before.

If anyone's very keen on selling their Slip-on system, I'd also be keen for a chat too!

Hills Eurohaus I’m sure are also happy to do this.

Just ensure whoever does it doesn’t wire the valve to the tail lights as per the wiring diagram, out rear LED light bars aren’t on with the DRL halo’s like they are in Europe.

I wired mine from the 12v power socket right near the lights and loomed the power cable on with the rest of the loom using felt tape around the left side of the trunk space to where the valve actuator is mounted.
