Catless downpipe installers

SloPoke · 05-21-2013, 02:10 PM

Anyone know of a shop that will install catless downpipes? The one shop I just called quoted me $570 for the install

I'm no where near Georgia so I can't help you too much but $570 is a lot. It's a really hard job especially for the 1 series, it took mine 2 days at the shop lol.. It's not going to be cheap but I'd say your looking at around $400-$450. So keep looking and good luck

SloPoke - Its not difficult to install them, the V-band clamps are a pain in the ass thats about all. If you were closer to Jax I would do it for you. My friend has a lift I could use to do it so it wouldn't cost you anything. If you're gonna be down here anytime soon let me know and we'll get it done.

Thanks for the offer. I'd totally take you up on it if I were not buried in work.

Dang, just got another $450 estimate. Are these harder to put on a 1 than on a 3? The 3 series guys were saying they have paid anywhere from $200-$300.

Screw it. Time for me to bang up some knuckles. Beer is on me if anyone wants to come over and help.

Thanks. Is that pic you shooting an M107 or M82A1? I shoot a McMillan .50. My dad has an M82A1. Nothing like shooting that big of round.

Slo,

Did you get the DP on your 1?

I'd be down to give a hand, and have a decent amount of tools and thirst for malted hops!

I'm in Dahlonega and while I dropped my car on Ebiachs with the help of my brother I've never gotten into a Down Pipe Install.

Shouldnt be to bad if youve got the tools and good access | lift as jack stands suck!

Just saw your question, it's an M107. That was from my 2010 trip to Afghanistan.
