Default Exhaust shop reccomedations? (Littleton, CO)

Just bought a used Corsa cat-back for the LT4. Can anyone recommend a good exhaust shop near SW Littleton to do the install? What should I expect to be charged?

I'm still leaning toward doing it myself, but lifting the car is presently a problem and the garage is pretty chilly lately. Farming it out became an option yesterday as I was thinking about those things.

Mine the biggest problem of doing it myself was getting the rear end high enough to get the org. over the axle, other that that it was fairly easy, and then getting them to line up right, 1 or 2 hours tops.
But to the question at hand, I don't know!!

I still haven't warmed up to the idea of working underneath the car with all four corners on jackstands, so I only have two. Is that what you used, or do you have something that looks a little more stout?

Once it's up there, I agree the install looks to be a breeze.

BUd's muffler on 10th and Sante Fe does the best work around, and the prices is right in line.

To be serious though, you can do this job yourself. I put mine in and then later on pulled it back out and reinstalled the old one.

This was on jack stands. If you'd like I could help you. This is a great way to get in touch with your car.

Let me know. Stan 303 745 1623


On a C5 the install is day and night different as compared to a LT4, it sould take 2 hours at most, and theat is if the cat bolts are a pain.

Stan,

Thanks for your offer to help. We've got some generous folks in our area. I was considering having a shop do the job only because it may get done sooner - it's definitely looks to be an easy task.

I've decided since posting to do it here at the house and maybe tackle some undercarriage cleaning and the fuel filter while it's jacked up, so I may holler in the unlikely event I run into trouble. Just need to go get the 2nd pair of stands/ramps so they'll be around when I am able to get to work on the install. Plans for the rest of the month are a bit unpredictable.

Thanks again,
Jamison
