I was quoted for 2.5 hours. The shop said that they had done "tons" of 335i downpipes and that it would be quick. I mentioned that the xi required the subframe to be dropped and they disagreed. I quietly let them do their thing and 4.5 or so hours later, "ya... We had to drop the subframe..."
So you cant do it without dropping the subframe without cutting. And you dont want to cut them so you can put them on your car before you part out and sell it to move on up in the car world.
Mykal if youre out of warranty it might be easiest to have the dealership do it. Otherwise, find the most upscale shop you can. I personally dont want a whatever shop doing anything other than my exhaust tips on a car that I remotely care about.
Not to thread jack... But I am surprised at how much happier I am with the appearance of my car with the tips. Put those on with the DPs and keep the exhaust flap open on the tune. I love my exhaust's sound now. Its still slightly aggressive and civil enough when light on the throttle... And it turns heads when you get on it.
