Y pipe install question?

Y pipe install question?
I don't have a floor jack and I don't know of anyone who does that I can borrow. How much would a shop normally charge to install the Y pipe, because I don't want to get crushed by my car. I need to know because when I go into the shop I want to have an idea on what is a good deal. Thanks.

I was quoted 150 IIRC for installation of a Y pipe at a performance shop. Some places won't do it since it removes the OEM pre-cats.
You know, if you have a set of RAMPS you should be able to do it...
or better yet, go to the regional subforums and throw it out there, there's lots of folks in Cali that could probably help ya out

Do people in regional forums generally charge too? Depends on the person I guess. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

My max won't clear ramps. :P But seriously you could get a nice 3ton jack and stands for less than $150.
Most shops probably won't do it because you are removing emissions cats to install the new ypipe.

to the op, if you don't have jack stands then you probably don't want to deal with the y-pipe. by now it's pretty tough to deal with those nuts. under the headers some nuts will be fused to the stud. it easy to remove but you need to unscrew it very slowly so you don't break off the stud. since stud n nuts are fused you should be prepare with new ones. 2 nuts connected to the cat are fused so you need to cut off those nuts.
auto shop will charge you $100. most people don't have heating tools otherwise it would be an easy job. propane torch will get you nowhere.

For the cost of going to a shop, you can purchase ramps, jack, and stands. I have all three and they make working on the car sooo much easier. Drive up the ramps (place 12" 2x4's same direction as the ramps, about 6"up the ramp, to 6" off at the bottom reduces vertical angle to help clear front bumper) then use the jack to lift it up and secure it on jack stands.
