Local install shops for longtubes

[asdfghjkl]

damn... there's no threads in exhaust forums? ... any recomendations on a shop for longtube header install? LMK

[asdfghjkl]

oh yeah... long tubes going on a 2 valve 5 speed

[ralvarez]

we re-did the website so all the old threads are gone! dont take it to the shop on first st and margarita (i think) mauricio can tell you a little more what happened there than i could.

One of our member got Longtubes installed on a Mach1 32v Auto / Well the guys claimed to be knowledgeable on ford, but that was not the case.

The install is actually more complicated, you have to drop the k-member disconnect radiator and AC
I recommended you take it to Lone Star Performance or Dallas Mustang

http://www.lonestarperformance.com
If you got to LSP tell them you're a member of Smokin' Performance and you'll get 10% off

I think they quoted Jose $400 on the Mach 1 so the GT should be way less around $350

[ralvarez]

i think they are asking more than that for proof to get the discount now, ask my bro. alex about what they said! (4.slow)

Yes, they want us to get some type of ID's
They can just come to sp.com and confirm his screen name

[ralvarez]

yeah, but my bro. said they told him that the discounts would only be to the members of SP not just registered users!

yeah i already knew about having to drop the k member - and i've shared some personal experience about dropping off the stang at at mom/pops corner shop to get custom work done - won't ever deal with that kind of shitz again - LoneStarPeformance has done plenty of work on my 2 valve and they have never screwed me - they do great work - nice to know they offer discount to SP members. I'll see what's up - thanks for tha info

[admin]

No problem

I'm going to set their banner on the main page
If they say something about not wanting to honor the discount tell them to come and check the website

I was about to ask "why not do it yourself", but damn, you gotta disconnect the A/C to put headers on? I'd be taking it somewhere too.

Yeah the line that goes to the AC Compressor doesn't flex at all so if its not disconnected it will break

you dont have to remove the ac lines on the gts   if you have a mach   yup   but not on a 2v motor
