New Years present for my Max (frankencar fans step in)

Just ordered full catback exhaust from frankencar. Seems like not too many people have those yet, so I wanted to be among the first ones to get it. Any suggestions from the people who have this exhaust? Hopefully wait for it won't be too long.
I'm gonna try to dyno before and after the install (right now my car is stock 5spd). Or did somebody already do it?
Hopefully it'll be as good as their intake (which is next on my list).

Also, any ideas on how much it may run to install it and a good exhaust/performance shop around SoCal(LA area)? Don't really feel like doing it myself since I don't have a garage.

Open to suggestions

Go get your car dynoed first then it put on and dyno again to see the gains.

Go find someone with a kind heart, a garage, a good set of jack stands, a lot of WD 40 and do the install yourself. Not too bad. you just gotta be patient.

Yeah, I was gonna dyno before and after the install, see what power it gives me (if any )

Garage is a good idea, tho I would rather have someone experienced do it. Plus by the time I get the exhaust, I plan to get that short throw and install everything at once.

if anything, just show up at the next meet at RPM Motorworks and bring your exhaust down to get it installed there while you're at it!

didn't you guys say they were down one person and it's kinda hard to get to them right now, becuase they're busy? It'd be pretty cool if they could do it the same day, but how possible is that?
