Where is the best place to get the Y-Pipe installed?

If I decide not to install my Y-Pipe my self, where would be a decent place to take it? Ive heard to stay away from Midas and places like that. Im just afraid to have anyone do it because I know they wont be as careful as I would. Ill probably just do it myself but If I did have to get it done does anyone know of a good place to do it.
THanks

Y-pipe install

I would try a local muffler shop, the non chain type. You could try a local garage. The install is really not that difficult. How about a mechanically inclined friend, you bring the beer. I would get on the phone and call around. Enjoy.

You can install it yourself if you have a metric socket set (I believe the exhaust manifold bolts are either 14mm or 17mm), long a$$ ratchet (preferably 1/2" drive), extension, and universal joint. Also, a can of liquid wrench is useful of loosening those rusted on bolts too.

Instructions usually come with the Ypipe. But if you do take it a shop, yes choose a muffler shop..they can adjust the pipe if it doesn't fit perfectly.

About how much would it cost to get a y-pipe installed at one of these places?
