Default Help with installation?

Hey guys!

Was thinking someone could help me install an intake but most importantly an exhaust (invidia n1 dual) as I hate going under cars >< . I can pay cash, or get some lunch?!?! Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm located in Santa Cruz and willing to go to the South Bay

Those are the two parts I dared installing myself. I'm completely incompetent and useless with wrench. I would have to say that the intake is easy, I did it 100% myself. The exhaust is pretty easy also, but would be easiest with the help of a friend. One tip for the exhaust install is: don't forget to lube the rubber (alot of s2ki members are really good at this process). Liquid wrench helps also, as well as fresh gaskets and bolts (just in case).

It would be wise if you either do it at your house or have suv or van or something big with you to the south bay as the oem catback is one giant piece.

You can lift and lower the stock exhaust using your floor jack at the point where the pipe splits for the dual exhaust (car on jack stands, of course). One person can do it with some cursing and sweat.
