i was driving up my street when my exhaust just got really loud, and within an hour it got even really loud. The car shouldnt really be driven, its terrible. I need to order my exhaust today however, where I do all of my work, I go to Shine Racing where they do a great job. However its over 40 minutes away. To save the hassle would it be a bad decision to take it to my local audi mechanic to do the APR exhaust. It would be a lot more convenient but i do not want him to do it unless its easy. I am not sure how much he has ever done with after market stuff, but at the same times hes a well known mechanic.

Thanks guys

on the cat/downpipe with a GOOD penetrating oil like PB Blaster or something. If you don't have anything good even WD40 will help, but get some good stuff if at all possible.

Any mechanic/person with any at all skill can do an exhaust.

i agree, however, that this is relatively simple enough that he should just fix it.

if it is broken, i guess they can be welded too.

They have to take the cat out to weld it, and that takes some time

but had to install myself...tradeoff.

My pipe it leaking due to bad gaskets and bad bolts. Think I can get all of that locally? I really want to fix her up this weekend.

cheers,

would work from turbo to test pipe but its off by a little bit (not that that matters though, forgot u had PES big setup), and the test pipe to down pipe is a weird size too, so dealer or some online wharehouse (ecs, blau, impex, etc) unfortunatlely. I just snagged a few metric grade 8 nuts, bolts (M8x1.25x35 size) and lock washers from work for the connection.
