I would think an independent general automotive shop could do it. Would be cheaper if you did it yourself too or ask somebody here for help

I am actually contemplating to do it tonight, but my laziness (and lack of good tools) is starting to kick in pretty hard. I blame it on overcast Mondays. Anyone have time/space/tools to give a hand? I'll supply the brews.

Thanks all,

I just finished up the install. I wont comment on how long it took, lol. Sounds the same down low, a little louder and raspier up high. No feel in power increase. It does sound raspy now, I feel like I have an exhaust leak somewhere around the header. I have read that the sound is normal and im just abnormal, lol.

I work near Hwy 6 and I-10 and live down in Sugar Land. Anyone care to meet up and reassure me that the sound is normal? I sure hope it isnt a leak, but it seems fairly quiet to be a leak.

Anyways, springs on the way and gears next. Anyone know a Kia dealership that matches online prices? If not, i'll be heading to kiaparts.com.

Thanks all
