i bought a new high flow cat and i just called Tuffy's muffler shop to see if they could install it but they said they wouldn't install outside parts. does anyone know of a good place that will install this for me for a reasonable price in the richmond area (especially northside). thanks.

 

MOST places won't touch a cat unless it's over 10yrs old or it's damaged.

Punch a hole in it then take it somewhere else like Tony's muffler on rt10.

 

why wont they touch it? i might have to just do it myself. i just installed my exhaust tho so i dont really wanna go through all the trouble

 

Because it's illegal to change a cat unless it's over 10 years old or damaged.

Most shops are not going to risk a 10k fine for a $50 job.

 

so if i just install it myself then take a hammer to the old one i'll be good? then if i ever need to i can say that the old one was damaged

 

Just take it to Tony's with Cash... He will take care of you. If you wana BS with him, ask him about his old Stang or something....

 

The Muffler Shop on broad street down in lakeside...by the home depot...they should do it for u

 

is there some reason you cant just do it yourself? that is free after all. unless theres somethign i dont know about civics, its a pretty simple process
