Eisenmann Installation
I'll be getting my Eisenmann Race soon and I'm wondering if the installation is a DIY or does it need to be taken to a shop for some "cutting and welding"?

Thanks

Its best if you take it to a muffler shop. They would have to cut the pipe after the resonator, and weld in the muffler.

It was like 70 bucks for installation. I don't think you want to be under your car with an acetylene torch without the aid of a lifter.

I hear the clamp on system is fine. However, a friend at a muffler shop welded it on for me for $25.

Don't go with the clamp, any loss of pressure or leakage will throw all the warnings at you.
