Hey all, thought seeing everyone else is whoring themselves here I may as well... My shop can do most services for most cars, if you want it done during shop hours you will pay full tax, SS and labor rate $80 / hr, as I will have my Tech work on it and he likes to pay his bills.... MNSUBARU members get a 10% of total ticket discount if done within store hours.... If it is easier stuff like custom exhaust (bending, installing etc) and some brake work I can do it after hours at $50 /hr... you supply parts or I can get parts then you have to pay soem tax etc... piping I have in store for most exhaust work... welding, oxy, lathe etc etc... all there.... again you supply all necessary parts, gaskets etc.. I have some misc stuff that we use along the way... Remember I have to pay for lighting, heating, equipment wear and tear even if I do it after hours....
^^this is the same guy that held the "install day" last spring. He's not a bad guy... just a little on the humble side. :lol:
W-T-HECK does that mean.... ha ha hahaa Humble is a WORD not usually used when describing me.... and what ya mean by not a bad guy... hey man suck up a little more for a better deal.. ha ha ha
better? anyway double thumbs up / 10 out of 5 stars for Nate! he helped me work on my car before and did a great job!
How much for an uppipe install? btw I spotted you a while ago in Minnetonka, I wondered why a wrx was all decorated in Meineke stickers now i know.
i had some work done there as well and they got it done very quik and correct and the discount was nice
going rate from me is $150 after hours... takes about 3 hours or so except when its Fongs car and it take slike 6 hrs cause the turbo is funky ha haa.. basically it is $50 / hr capped at $150 but if we do it in house then it is by the book at $80 / hr and I saw somewhere on here that another shop was after like $300 or more to do it.... so if you want it done then after the store is closed I do it in m y personal time for a basic price stated above with no additional discounts cause it isnt done through the business.... any other ?s just pm me
I also had work done at Nate's shop and everything was great. He had to weld a new section and flange on my catback which has been working great. However I think its leaking again after all my hangers came off and the catback was being dragged around on the ice on Rich's lake
ok.. here are some pics of a custom 2.5 cat-back I did for MNDUDE on his RS... they are of his phone so aretn as clear as I would have liked but I forgot my camera that day it was around the $300 with labor, parts and a resonator... 3in would be about $50 more...
also if you have an STi axle back and need it modded to suit your car I can do that for $50 labor and maybe about $20 in parts (flange, gasket, welding) or extend it into a full cat-back for about double that...
That looks really good. It beats a brand name catback, and it probably comes with a "special" warranty for a couple of years.
well this is a work in progress build.... when I added up the parts with their pricing on the magnaaflow website and the other stuff it was about $150 more for the same thing... about $450 for parts & labor) the muffler is $114 on magnaflow (11226 satin stainless) the tip is like $78 on magnaflow (35121 double wall tip) the piping is around the $45 and normal labor would be around the $160 then the mandrel U-bend would be like $50 ish (10716) this is all before TAX and Shipping mine worked out around the $280 installed... but then we added a resonator which is normally about $50 this is pricing for 2.5 in materials... I will give a 1 yr warranty on the product but will always help out with any issues... the stuff is NOT stainless so industry standard is 1yr... labor is 90 days but as I said, I will not take peoples money and burn them... any questions call the store, pm me here for my cell number... and we can discuss what sound you are after.. I have a 3in version on mine if you want to hear it...
for you FONG lots... ha ha well that depends.. do you want it done right then you have to pay $$$ ha ha h we can cut it and reset the flange angle but something is gonna get butchered and rewelded.... your choice man.. I told you I could fix it but it woud have to be done properly with no ghetto setup
:lol: You'll hear from me when the time comes. I havn't really got a good hold of my finances yet. :cry:
Just let you guys know that Nathan did a excellent job putting a exhaust onto my car. A++ And he is a really cool dude to chat with!! Thx, again dude!!!
BTW, I recomanded you to my friend (he has a exhaust leak) and like to know do you have time this Sat to lwork on his exhaust leakr?? I know you are busy but just let me know when you have time.
hmmm... my cats are toasted i think. they are making tons of noise. how much would you want to weld in some cat delete pipes w/ 02 bungs? stock size pipe, nothign specail, just to hold me over tell i am ready fro a new catback.
This might be a really stupid question but you'll do non subarus too right? My 240z needs exhaust from the headers back and an o2 bung welded in. 3" pipe.
we will do anything pretty much... just got to pays me.. ha ha ha ha really depends on whether it is doable or not.... let me kow what ya thinking and we can go from there
It should actually be pretty basic, looking at the old exhaust that was on there its pretty similar to the one in that picture. Hardest part would be maing a ypipe to the headers.
well I finally finished my own exhaust... ie aded a tip... dang it I oredred a 5in one cause I had 2 min to order so then had to re-order it... now it isnt the exact same one I wanted (like mndudes) but I couldnt remember what one we ordred for him... so I got the 3.5 round with 2.25 internal.. kinda sucks as mine is 3 in but thats all they sell so I expanded the inside a little so it flows good... it looks alright but now it is wierd cause I got used to no tip... any ways... post soem pics tonight.. got to go take them soon while its still on the lift..
couple of pics... it actually quietened the exhaust down a little now that the exit is back out from under the car.. amazing.. ha ha ha the exhaust is a little dirty..
Nathan just whipped up a catback exhuast for me today. it souds great. i will post up pics and details soon. This exuast sounds great, it has an AWSOME! tone to it. i havent heard the exhuast from outside the car yet, but it sounds nice and deep while drivng (w/ or w/out windows down. i will try and take a video to put up in the near future. great stuff. its a 3" catback (yah i know 3" is big for NA but you'll see why i did 3" in another post) w/ a resonator that Nathan ordered up for me, and an Ebay muffler (heheh muffler has a 4.5" outlet), Nathan did all the bends in his shop, although there are a decent amount of bends none of them are very dramatic, and it allows for great exhuast flow. i think the biggest angle in it is like 15* or something. very minimal. EDIT: heres a teaser pic. EDIT: More pics added. more info
