Professional Install or DIY
I've been sitting on a full Eisenmann Sport Exhaust with midpipes and Fabworx Downpipes for a few months now. I have a local shop who's familiar with installing both at a decent price ($800). However with all the social distancing should stay away from a shop? I also usually feel better about doing things myself.
I've seen videos on how to do the downpipes job and believe I could handle without a problem however I'm a little concerned about the exhaust. Should I let the professionals tackle this job or take pride in doing it myself??? I don't have a lift either. Just 2 hydraulic jacks and stands. |

For virus issues, I say you just need to wipe down the interior after the work is done. Study has shown the virus lives on surfaces for a few days, but if you just leave the car alone for a few days, virus should die.
Whether you should do the work or not because of trust, hard to say. Major concern would be at leaks, right? |

Good call. If it was just DP's, might be worth a DIY but at $800, I think that's a good deal for install of both.

I'd recommend getting it installed via a shop. I thought about doing the downpipes myself but I found a local Euro tuning shop that did it for $300 with the use of a lifted and more tools that I had.
