I have tried unsuccessfully, twice now to install my RV6 DP and Rampage bolts. So I’m looking to see if anyone knows a shop that will do it for me?

Thanks.

Rampage bolts may not fit. I recently installed an RV6 FP and Dream Automotive DP here and some of the Rampage bolting was too short :(

Evasive will not install catless DP. If yours is catted, then they should be able to do it no problem.

Curious, what was the issue that prevented the successful install of the DP, sleepy?

Yeah when I called he didn’t even ask which type of DP, just said we don’t install DP’s.

I could not get the inlet pipe or upper heat shield off. Rather than fighting and troubleshooting for clearance I figured I’ll just pay someone so I don’t mess up anything.

What made you think that, that someone won't mess it up either?

I would rather go to a shop that has dealt with these cars and has done it before as opposed to myself who is doing it for the first time based off of images and instructions found here. That and they typically have access to more tools than myself.

Yeah there is definitely some mechanical aptitude and feel needed + the right tools to make sure everything goes ok and doesn’t break. Is this car your daily?
