Bassani Installation
I recently purchased the Bassani cat back system. God grant me patience I had to wait a week to get into my exhaust guy! He quoted me $40 over the phone. I arrived Sat. morning and after getting my L up in the air - he said he wasn't going to do it. More involved than he thought and said he had to cut into the pipes - there is an oxygen sensor in the way, blah blah blah - excuse after excuse.
I talked to a Ford Tuner in the area and he said no problem between $50 and $75 to install, but I can't get into see him for two weeks.
Does any one know if there are changes on the '03 that complicate this install or is it a straight bolt on?

Thanks Rob and zbornac, my guy only put aside 30 minutes for the install and he had a big vette job coming for a Z06, big $$$ - so he just didn't want to get into my job, I suspect?
He did an awesome job on my '66 fastback, so I trust him with the L, life goes on.
