good mechanic near edison nj

Looking to put my dp and test pipe on and can't find many places that I trust or that will even touch it. I put my catback on with relative ease but the dp looks like a pain in the *** to install so I rather pay someone. Does anyone have any recommendations? Also I'm kinda debating getting a hFc and selling my test pipe for inspection purposes.

iveytune... the X's downpipe is in the back of the engine and tucked under the firewall... a pain to do if you dont have a lift, and u need to make sure all the parts line up well and all the bolts are properly tighten...

We quoted you $600 for just a DP install?

I think we charge around $350.

The best is when someone calls here, gets mad at the price. Then call 2 days later asking for phone support on the same DP install from someones driveway!!

Yup, not sure who it was that I spoke to, I just know it wasn't you or Sam. But yes I was quoted at $600 for just the DP.

I wasnt mad at the price I was quoted, if I had been, I wouldn't have gone back to you guys for a tune. I'm just saying, speaking for myself, I am by no means wealthy or have wealthy parents. I financed my Evo, live on my own, and pay for everything myself, while dealing with everyday expenses. My point is that even if I had been quoted $350 for a DP install, and someone was charging me less by a considerable amount, I would go with them. I understand being loyal to your tuner is important in this game, BUT parts are very expensive, and I can't justify paying almost what the part itself cost to just install it, since I'm building my car on a tight budget.
