True, they can be spendy. But if they'll do it it should take more than an hour for the entire install really...hourly it shouldn't be too bad costwise. Idk if they will do it, but I would imagine that they'd at least have a lift in their shop.

Have you called some local exhaust shops? Some will do it, some will not. Years ago, I bought the bolt in SLP SFC's and then had them welded. Give these guys a call. They're in Bloomington:

I know you said you're looking for a shop to do them... But I can help you if you'd like. They are pretty easy to do. Doesn't take but an hour or two. I'll be doing some in the next couple weeks, you can check them out first if you'd like.

PM me if you're interested.

Thanks.

And as Tittan said above, come visit the local forum if you can. http://www.mngmp.com/
DrkPhx is on there too. Hey guys lol.
