GVA Downpipe install?

Icarium · 03-14-2016, 09:01 PM

Anyone in GVA found a good price for downpipe installs? With some of the quotes I'm getting I'm thinking I may dip down into the states!

evolution auto - speak to alan or souraj and let them know Glenn sent you for a quote. best price, no bs charges.

the quotes i got were pretty high from some other places, been quoted between $500-900 for install which is insane

Thanks, I'll give them a shout!

most shops won't really want to give you an exact quote because they are aftermarket parts. if fit isn't good they can spend more time trying to make them fit. if its good fitment...3 hours labour would be good.

Have you found a good place to purchase the downpipe?

Picked up a set of used VRSF downpipes from the states

btw i paid around $300 for the install

JustinTS · 03-17-2016, 05:55 PM

Did the job DIY... pretty straightforward process, but definitely frustrating when you encounter rusted/seized bolts.

Would say the trouble is worth the $300. But then again half the fun is putting in the parts yourself! I think speed syndicate is similarly priced.

Just to update anyone interested, I went to Speed Syndicate to get my install done. 335xi getting downpipes and rb inlets installed. Paid 525 in labor. I am pretty satisfied with the cost.

They had the lowest quote for downpipes only from what I searched.

Icarium damn you got a good deal. just got them to quote me on inlet and outlet install. They wants $945

Advance Auto on #6 and Westminster, the good old mechanic ! Say Billy sent ya, but you won't get a discount !

Eternal_SIR · 04-20-2016, 08:07 AM

bwco thats right, i forgot about them. Use to get Johnny to do work for me back in the day

bwco · 04-20-2016, 01:59 PM

yeah, johnny just changed my water pump on my N54 with 80K and alignment. I'd still trust Johnny rather than some young punk kids overcharging on a straight foward job.

FYI, Speed Syndicate wanted $600+ to do a 335i PE exhaust mod where I'll cut it open and bring the pipes. Sounds like business is too good and they don't wanna do small jobs.

Wow that's amazing how different the quote is. Especially considering mine is xi. Cold side or hot side inlets?

I wanted to get both hot and cold side install. Considering that the cold side is the oem placement that doesn't need relocation of other parts. Seems quite a bit high
