I talked to someone at Sector111 that said I should be able to install on my own. Wondering if anyone in the bay area has tools and can help me out. Was hoping to do it this Sunday as I'm very excited.

I think that might be a liability to have me working on any cars here. :crazy:
If I don't get it done this weekend, I'll be around the 25th and could do it then. Give me a call if you're up for it and it's ok with your friend.

Ok I will find out for around the 25th, I imagine that we can jack up the back of your car, maybe 1-2 hours to swap the exhaust another hour for the sport cat, and another hour for the grill if everything is easy to get to. I swapped the exhaust on my brothers Boxster S, it took 4 hours because I couldn’t get to two bolts behind the bumper. Damn Porsche. If sector 111 has installation guides it will make it 10x easier and we will be able to estimate the time better.

Damn, wish I was close to you cause I would help ya out. I do custom installs for friends all the time for fun on all kinds of cars. I have done all of the work on my car personally except for mount the tires.
If anyone ever needs help installing stuff in central Florida, drop me a line, and I'll help ya out.

The guy I talked to at Sector111 says he does it so much it took him 15 minutes to do it on an Exige last week. It may take us a few hours since it will be my first time. There should be instructions included, otherwise they will send me some. Thanks in advance for your help.

Shouldnt be too hard to do. I had the exhaust, cats and intake done on my gallardo in like 2 hours. This should be no where near that. Of course I had already done 2 Gallardos prior so I was like a pro. LoL

Ever changed the oil on it? I'm trying to decide if I want to give that a try.
