can anyone recommend a good place to get my gibson sweptside and airforce1 fipk installed in the bay area? would the local midas shop do a decent job, or should I look elsewhere?

thanks,
Wes

Both are pretty easy. The exhaust you should be able to get installed at any reputable exhaust shop for $75 or less.

As for the FIPK, good question. But like I said that one is really easy.

yeah i was thinking originally of doing the fipk myself... but i figured if I'm getting the exhaust done (not ready to tackle that one!) might as well see if they'll do the fipk as well.

Pesos: I agree to have that exhaust put on by a shop. I just had the splitback put on and the guy looked at it and said for 100$ he would weld the whole system and the tips on. He took his time and did an excellent job. The clamps do not look nice and this way there are no leaks and the system is sturdy. As far as the FIPK, it is really not that bad. Me and my brother tackled it in about 1/2 hour. Hard part was getting the stock system off! If you follow the directions you will see the are pretty stright forward and show pictures. Good luck with it... I know with these mods I am very impressed with my Truck's performance and sound.
