Will do, bro! I think I've decided on the shop I'm going to have install these and I will update the thread once the parts come in and get installed.
I'd love to learn to MIG weld with a small Hobart one day and later do this job. Watching (wearing a welding helmet)welders lay down beads makes me feel like I'm watching an artist work and I know it takes tons of experience and skill. Hopefully you can see some of the work they have done before they try to work on yours although your eye cannot see beneath the weld to see things like weld penetration of course. Just be sure your battery's negative terminal is disconnected to reduce any risk of damage in case they don't have a good ground.Will do, bro!

Just out of curiosity's sake, why's the welding aspect so important? Isn't it pretty straight-forward?
I'm really curious to hear the FRPP Sport exhaust with the cat deletes. I don't think I've heard that combination yet. When I was ready to purchase my exhaust, there weren't nearly as many choices available as there are now. In hindsight, I wish I would have waited for the Bassani catback to come out but I had money burning a hole in my pocket and really wanted to add a cat back system. Anyway, I'm getting my cat deletes installed (along with a JLT CAI and Lund tune/ngauge) Friday morning and couldn't be more excited! I can't wait to see how different the car feels/sounds!
Just wondering does he have the Street or Race version?
My concern is because we are out here in CA it's illegal to begin with, so I'm sure we could find a shop, but will they do a sh*tty job and my cat deletes fall off during a spirited drive or while going over a speed bump. Just want it done right, I have seen welding jobs that looked like a 3rd grader did it!Will do, bro!

Where in SoCal are you? Are you also in SD? Just because the pipes are illegal here, doesn't necessarily mean a shop will give you guff about installing them. I'm sure most shops, even very reputable ones, would be happy to take the business. After all, it's not illegal to install these pipes in CA, it's just illegal to drive on the road with them. There's a very reputable shop that does some really high end work about 15-20 minutes from my house that I'm having install mine.
He has the MBRP street. So your MBRP + Cat Delete should be much louder than my Xtreme.
Copy that, I've never had anything welded before since all my parts have been basic bolt-ons on prior cars so I didn't understand the difference in terms of the quality of the welds.
I live about 2-2.5 hours north of SD in south Ventura County so I'm taking it to a reputable shop up here called SS Motorsports. I lived in SD for a good 4 years back during my college days. I don't know of any decent shops down there off the top of my head, though. I'd love to see if the place I'm going to would do a group buy type deal but I doubt you guys want to drive ~2.5 hours to get some cat deletes installed. Besides, I also had to make an appointment so I'm not sure if they'll be able to squeeze us all in on the same day. They're a busy shop.
