There's no garuntee that spending the money will get you a good install. My buddy from back home is proof of this. While I took my Z to Tuffy (a cheep local exhaust shop) and had my subframe connecters welded in for $20 (and they are still holding up perfect I might add), my buddy who is a fanatic about keeping his car perfect, and only letting professional shops touch his car wouldn't do it. He didn't trust the local exaust shop, so he drove his car 3 hours away to Speed Inc in Chicago, and was going to pay $200 for the install. As his car was on the lift, he was talking to the owner (Tom Izzo) and was actually asking him if they ever had any issues with installing the subframes. As Tom was saying "nope" they heard a yell screaming "*****!" and just like that, flames shot up the side of my buddies car! Speed Inc. at least didn't charge my buddy for the install, and paid for his car to be flat bedded all the way back to where we were from in Indiana, and the $3,000 bill to fix his car, but as you can imagine, he was quite pissed of the fiasco he went through, vs my $20 install.

Like I said before, this is a very simple install. It should only take 20 minutes to do. You just have to be carefull of the fuel lines. I refuse to get ripped off here. You can call me cheep all you want, but I know which jobs I will pay for, and which ones I won't. If you want to spend the big bucks on something that anyone could do who knows how to safely weld, go ahead. But I won't.
