e92 Downpipe Swap Service in Bay Area?

Curt · 02-09-2014, 12:10 AM

I have a guy that can do it for $300 but I have to drive 100 miles out for it.

Anybody know a place in the bay area that can do this service for about the same price? Smog is coming up

Speed Element in San Jose can do it

Where in the bay area are you located? FFTEC is in Hayward, CA. You can try checking exhaust shops in your city also.

Mach III in San Francisco does it for around 150-200ish.

Yeah looks like they've done quite a few before, do you know their price?

I'm in the city, what's the price for FFTEC? I'm not sure if I trust exhaust shops to work on it, not sure if the ecu has to be recoded to enable oxygen sensors and I heard it's 8 hrs on the labor chart.

Nice, Mach3 is very close to me, I didn't know they did service on euro. You know if they do a good job on the e92 335i?

No loaner car, but they have a nice waiting room (couches, tv, and magazines). They close at 6, so you shouldn't have a long wait.

$250, $30 cheaper than mach3 with better reviews on yelp

halcyon026 · 03-21-2014, 02:22 PM
