You should do it yourself. I am an eight-teen year old college student, and i have just pulled the front end of my car and am working on my timing belts and changing my alternator. It is not that hard... the front end comes off by disconnecting some electrical cables and unscrewing a couple screws.. once the front is off you have perfect accessibility to the bi pipe.

It's about a 2hr job the first time. Most any shop should be able to do it. The instructions are TOP notch!

My only advice, is be very, very careful on the TB screws, they are only 7ft-lbs, & will strip out if over torqued.

They are good too, but what do you have done to your car or what are you planing on doing to your car? I say just go with the bi pipe, I am stock and I am changing to the bipipe before I do anything. Yeah its more money but it is money well spent

From the sound of it the labor isnt going to be very much. Its like under 2 hours haha. Get a quote from a shop, and then decide if you think its reasonable. If you dont, go somewhere else or do it yourself. 2k said the instrustions are good, i bet you could do it yourself.

Im getting my timing belt changed next week, my mechanic is just putting it on then no extra charge, because its right there and wont be any more work for him.
