A SoCal "emissions-friendly" shop? (ie, o/r H pipe friendly)

[01BlackSnake]

My girl and I both would love to find a shop that is sympathetic to mustangs with O/R H pipes.

Do any of you know of any in the So Cal area? Thanks!

lol plan on spening around 300 bucks, none are going to pass you at regular price or legally, gotta do it the expensive, illeagal way.

 

[01BlackSnake]

Yes, I know that. I want to know who can do it.

Wouldn't it be better to just temporarily throw back on your OE mids, pass the test and reinstall your aftermarket ones? :shrug:

You ever try to put on an O/R Pipe without a lift? Hell NO.

You don't need a lift. You don't have any friends with 2 jackstands? That's all you need. Just jack the car up, put it on the stands, lay down and take it off.

NO shop is going to pass you with an Off-road h-pipe, it wont pass anything, sniffer,visual,decibal. Unless you find ome guy who wants a little extra cash, and doesn't care about his job. Change it out yourself, it's really easy.

ya odds are you are going ot fail tailpipe with an O/R pipe. i know i ran Mystifi's cobra through with his bassani X and it failed HC.

 

[01BlackSnake]

Um... I KNOW we won't pass with an O/R pipe.

I KNOW what it's like to put on an O/R pipe with just jackstands. It sucks pretty badly, especially getting that passanger side bolt off. Been there, done that.

I know all of this.

All I need to know now if there's a shop/tech that someone knows that's "friendly" toward my cause.

Wow, good idea! :uh oh:

All this time I’ve been laying blankets on the garage floor and tilting the Cobra over on it’s side to give me access to the undercarriage :shrug:
