PSI Midpipe install cost?

CSS33 · 12-17-2021, 06:29 PM

My PSI midpipe finally arrived! Even though I think this is simple enough to install myself, I don’t have a lift. I am going to call around to some local muffler install shops. Any suggestions as to what is a normal price for installing this, and anyone have recommendations in Southwest Florida?

Typically 1-1.5 hours labor, depending on shop rate.

You don't need a lift to install an exhaust. A jack and jackstands will suffice. I have installed multiple exhausts in my garage just using a jack and jackstands. You will require a cutting tool to cut the stock exhaust for midpipe replacement.

If you do it yourself, check out the pipe cutting tool Brian uses at 10mins into this video, hope this helps:

Too bad you're not in the local area. If you didn't mind me experimenting with your car, I'd be more than happy to do it. I have access to the auto hobby shop inside the Air Force Academy where they have lifts and all kinds of tools, except the one shown in the video. However, I ordered that tool from Amazon myself and now I'm just waiting for my PSI MP.

Too bad I didn't catch you before you bought one. Could've barrowed mine (I'm in the Springs as well). I also have the PSI mid. I think you'll like it. Cold start sounds atrocious but after that its great

I got them installed for $180. Shop did a great job. I will say the sound is NOTHING like the videos. I guess videos just can’t capture it. I was not expecting anything great, just hoping for better, but these sound great and LOUD! Valve open you have beast mode. Closed is much better as well and still quiet enough but also lets you know something is there when you get on it. I have gone out to the garage so many times tonight just to hear her start up!
