i can get a good price from dan but what will the dealer charge to install it? Or should i go to my local independent shop and have it done when all of my rr products are installed? Also is it worth the money?

Have the indy shop do it, they will already have the car apart and it will save you some money on labor.

No it's not. Seriously once you have the midpipe out it takes like 30 minutes. I did mine when installing my RR downpipes and exhaust, so it really didn't add a lot of time.

Took me a while, but I was doing exhaust as well and had to cut some pipes for the performance exhaust. It's not too long especially if you have a buddy or two helping you out.

The dealer charged me for 1 1/2 hours, and I was in and out of there in less than 2 hours. I have a feeling I paid for at lest half an hour of coffee break.
