Just purchased a set of weld-in UMI box style SFC's. I am curious on what steps I need to follow for the installation. I am probably going to have a local exhaust shop install them but I was curious on what exactly needs to be done so that I can make sure it is done correct the first time. Any links or tips? Thanks in advance.

What's the average people pay to have them installed (welded)?

I paid like 75 to have mine installed. I had quotes ranging from 60-120 though. I would check with the shop to see if you can watch them install them. Just make up some bs story like I did about wanting to take pics for your website or something. Make sure they jack up the car with the weight of the car on the wheels, that seems to be the general consensus on how to instal them properly. Mine were, (Spohn tubular, if you care) and Ive had no problems.

had mine welded in last week for $85. it was done at a local chassis shop that builds tube chassis's for top fuel dragsters. its worth a little more $$ to know its done right. it was actually a very easy job for them.

*UPDATE*
Got them installed a couple of weeks ago at a local performance shop in town. They did a pretty good job too for $80. I honestly can't tell a huge difference in the way it rides but it did feel a little tighter. Also the SFC didn't sit flush where the subframe connector connects to the crossmember on the front of the driver's side. I was told that this could be from previous abuse and the frame had been tweaked. Anyone else ever had this happen before when they go to install them?
