give Daniel @ Riss Racing a call, he will help you out

billspreston · 11-03-2008, 05:21 AM

Autotalent @ Sepulveda in between Olympic & Santa Monica. It will cost you $300 (3-hours) labor. Autotalent does great powertrain work. I trust Zolti very much.

Daniel at RR is cheaper and will come to you.

I'd rather have the car in an actual shop on a proper lift. That mobile install service is a pretty nice deal though

south coast speed & sound in orange if you want a shop
$250

daniel at riss racing otherwise

Sam12345 · 11-03-2008, 11:20 PM

WOW overpriced up the ass....300$ for install? bullshit. Thats almost what i payed for the downpipes

I went to bodyshop and they said 150, will check with daniel@ riss racing.

Try the Riss Racing O2 sims. As for the install, try the DIY. Here's the DIY for the e90, but it should be similar:

If you don't want to do a DIY, good shops in West LA are Autotalent or Lucent Motors, but they might be a little expensive. I recommend doing to DIY because if you ever have to take it off because of emissions, noise, or going to the dealer, it will be cheaper and easier for you to take it off.

Sam, this is not a job to let any old body shop handle. If they've never done it before (which I'm assuming they haven't) there is no way to properly quote the job. The dps are in a very tight area and I would suggest having a tuning shop familiar with 335s working on this job. I realize $300 is expensive, but that's what 3 hours of good labor costs. I initially had Charlie @ Riss install mine right when they came out and it took him over 4 hours and it was his 5th or 6th install so he knew what was going on. Labor cost me $300 as well. That being said, I would contact Riss directly, probably going to be your best bet for price and quality of service. I would imagine they are around $200 - $250 these days.

i'll get my catless dp install by daniel this week

will let you know how it goes.

thanks, i understand what you are saying. So i decided to get mine installed by Daniel@ riss racing. I figure if his name has a company in it that produces downpipes, he must know the basics of installing! haha.
