HELP! z car garage!

i just called Z Car and asked about the stillen exhaust. he is anxious to work on a NEW sedan, and wants to give me a deal. He will match the lowest price i can find on the exhaust, $145.50 for the install and $75.00 for 3 passes on the dyno. leaving a total of $220.50 for everything minus the price of the exhaust.

A. is this a good deal?

B. Does anyone know the CHEAPEST place (other than ebay or craigslist) to find a stillen dual catback for 07+ sedan?

any help would be awesome! thanks

For a one shot deal, Rob is giving you a decent price, Zak.

thats what i think too, it seems awesome seeing as most places charge $1,000+ for the exhaust itself. i just need to find one for under 1k... can anyone help?

I'll lend a hand, as well. Gotta make sure that Kris doesn't perform too much weight reduction.

Sounds like a great deal, Zak.

But as you can see, GM Garage can also do the install for you.

i have no problem installing it myself, or with my awkwardly seductive family, but if he can match the lowest price, then why not just buy the exhaust and nothing else?

Agreed. And like Kris said, if he's so eager to get numbers, then the dyno pass should be free. All you need is the install, the dyno run is for his benefit, not yours.
