downpipe installation in south bay area

darrenm4 · 06-12-2019, 12:26 PM

I am planning to install a downpipe on my m4, and I call multiple local shops, they charge at least 380 for installation .does this price sound right to you? please let me know you thought, and let me know if there is any shops charge less than that in this area.
thanks

For with downpipes on a f8x that's not too bad
Subaru shops charge around 300$ and it's only 1 DP

Go to SSR, they are legit,
Plus they will do much cheaper than 380
ask for Zayn

Typical Bay Area labor is about $165-$280/hr from what I've seen. Ask them how many hours it is and you can see what range of that you're on.

Thought he meant South Bay, needs to clarify better. I'm not from up north, didn't know he meant Bay Area.

HTL Motorsports is the cheapest labor you can find in the Bay Area that specializes on F8X platform

He literally said south bay area. How much more specificity do you need? GPS coordinates, latitude and longitude?

I just pm'd you back about my ER's and install. I just did my dp's in about 2.5 hours in my garage. The job is 75% the same from back when I could do a set of dp's on my N54 in about 80 minutes.

If anyone wants to save money on this job, hit me up.

You're still at it? Just to prove my point, its like saying Los Angeles area or Orange County area. I thought when he said area, he meant that location not Bay Area. Go find something better to do than continuing to reply to my post.

Relax brother. It was just a little misunderstanding, no big deal. Unless you're ultra boujie ala South Bay BMW, or just not from the area, it's super rare for people in LA to reference South Bay as their geographical location. With all the years I've tuned in to Power 106, I've never once heard anyone from LA county say they're from the South Bay. People usually specify the city name, like Carson, Gardena, Inglewood, Torrance, etc. Same with OC and LA in general.

South Bay is a much more common term in the S.F. Bay Area, because of its worldwide name recognition, along with a much larger body of bay water compared to Tampa Bay (Bay Area) and LA (South Bay).
