Default where to get stuff installed

hey this is a pretty noobular question, but i just got my injen cai and magnaflow exhaust delivered today. i want to know where to go to get them installed. theres no tuning shops around where i live, so where could i go to get a good, clean, cel free install? i got my aem cai installed by this guy who worked at a european car dealership, but it turned out to be the shittiest install ever. and it sucks that i dont have the means to do the install myself. any help would be appreciated. TIA

I just copied your location into a yellowpages and came up with this place:
http://yellowpages.superpages....88579
I dunno how close that is, but it looked appropriate. If there aren't any tuning shops and you don't 'know a guy' you might have to do a little driving.

Install them yourself and save loot. Seriously, intakes and exhausts are EASY.
Do you know someone with a garage and tools?

It may sound lame, but try to find someone on the board from your area (preferably someone who likes beer) and try to convince them to help you with the install for a case or two of beer. Neither of those things is hard to install but the exhaust could be a bit time consuming. PLus if you get the help, and watch, you will know how to do the install in the future.

Good idea. If I lived in your area I'd help with install for beer. Because in the end you'd kick yourself for paying someone to install things that are so easy.

I live in tacoma I know I can install your intake in less than an hour. I dont have the tools to do the exhaust.

Intec Racing in Kent is now a nationally-known shop from the Northwest.

They've been interviewed in the major import magazines. Several people from Washington who have been featured in magazines have been sponsored or had work done by Intec Racing.

I've never had basic bolt-ons installed in a shop except for custom-exhaust piping, but Intec has a great reputation in the Seattle area.

my honda dealership actually installs all that stuff at $70 an hour, plus the guy told me because the dealership will do it they will cover it (intake and exhaust only)

maybe call a honda dealership in your area and see if they have anyone there that can do it

Just do this yourself. Like everyone before has said. the intake and exhaust are really easy installs. all you need is a jack and a ratchet to get the exhaust off. if it's just the axle back. the intake install goes a lot smother with a friend helping.
