Recommend me a place that can finish installing an aftermarket catback exhaust for my Mazdaspeed3.

Well, I attempted to do the install in my cold ass garage last night. Figured it’d take an hour or so and be pretty simple. Got the stock midpipe off and wasn’t able to finish due to it being cold as shit, not the proper tools to get one last rusty bolt off and then couldn’t get the front two bolts with springs to catch threads upon installing midpipe so I said, “Screw it, I’ll try and take it someplace.”

One rear rusty bolt needs to be taken out still (hard to reach with the minimal hand tools I have), then the new system can be installed. Hardest part would be getting the bolts with the springs on them through the new midpipe and into the cat. Simple, straightforward install, I just cant finish it with what I have.

The car is currently sitting with nothing connecting the downpipe and cat to the axleback muffler haha It sounds awesome but it’s loud as hell and pretty much unbearable to drive so I’d like it done Saturday, March 2nd, sometime after 2:30-3pm, so I’m not running around all weekend with a car with no exhaust haha

Long story short, does anyone know a place or can recommend a palce that can fit me in for a pretty simple exhaust install Saturday after 2pm?

Thanks!

Paul B

You can just borrow my heater if you want. It will heat your garage to t-shirt temps in 5 minutes.

I’m not really doing much work anymore, that and I have to work at 2. If Joe can’t get you in, check with Devioustsi. He will most likely be able to help you

Right now it’s not even about the temperature but I appreciate the offers for heaters. I can’t get a rusty fastener loosened and the front two bolts with flex springs I can’t get in either so I’ll give someone some cash to finish it up for me.

Thanks!

you’re welcome to stop by, i have a heater and air tools, and will be working on the BMW for a bit today. PM me if you’re interested, we could knock it out in no time. my only requirement is that you do a heater to make sure it’s all buttoned up properly.

I also have a 2010 MS3 and tried to do it on the ground and basically had the same problem…Eventually took it to the local Monroe and explained what I wanted…they didn’t understand quite what I meant so I ended up doing it myself and used their lift and just threw them a couple bucks for their time. Can’t imagine that working too many times in the future (insurance, liability etc) but that’s how I did it. LOL

Thank you to everyone who offered to help in some sort of way. I appreciate it greatly. The job got done via 96V6Bird’s manliness, garage, and angle grinder in exchange for 12 Labatt Blue Lights. Thanks again, Norb!

Yup sounds pretty familiar. That’s what I was thinking I’d have to resort to; didn’t think a mid pipe would be that difficult. Now time to do a test pipe. Have you done the test pipe?
