S4 Downpipe/exhaust install-need someone to help

[Tfreestyle]

Hi everyone, my name is Thomas and im pretty new to the vw/audi scene, Im mainly a reader, dont post to much. I got my 00 s4 6spd about a year ago and finally want to do the downpipes.

Im finishing up making a set of piggy pipes out of a spare set of dps I have. I also ordered the borla catback so I want to install that at the same time.

if anyone is willing to do the majority of the work and I can lend a helping hand as much as I can let me know, I just dont want to try to tackle this myself when ive never done it before. I can probably get the use of a lift in either granada hills or canyon country after hours. Id prefer to not bring it to a shop since im pretty low on cash and I want to work on it a bit myself but of course you will be compensated fairly, just let me know how much it would take.

i did my own dp's and im fairly mechanicaly incline and man it took me 4 hrs.. it was a bitch.... if a shop will do it for fairly cheepo i suggest you have then just bang it out.... its not alot of work its just getting the dp's off the turbo is hell there is no room just my 02.c if you want i can do a write up or walk you through it.

ya I think there is a write up on audizine about it. the reason I made this post is because shops are wanting to much to install them and id like to work on it a bit myself so im willing to pay someone who has done it before to mainly do the job but I will help out and do what I can you know, like I dont mind getting my hands dirty but I dont want to tackle the job all by myself.

I am in west l.a. by ucla where the 10 and 405 freeways meet. im willing to drive to you though.

I actually installed the exhaust today even though I know it basically has to come back off for the downpipes, not to bad, still dont want to tackle the downpipes myself.

Euro sode can do your install in a a fe hour's, They charged me $280 for it. Your gonna have to slightly pull the motor unless you have small hands and get everythign from there buti doubt it. I knwo Delete 02 does nto have small hands. haha whats buddy, long time no see. Man my car is fucked bro. Send me a Pm I'll tell you all about it. As for original poster hit up (Audi Stake snow) he is doing instals liek that for a decent price. But he has vanished and he hasnet returned anyones calls so we dont knwo where he is. Goodluck to you.

Oh did you already drill the holes behind the main cats for your 02 sensors, or are you just doing defouler mod?

since im gutting the cats im going to guess the check engine light is still going to come on but we will see. I am going to relocate it. I still have to finish gutting one more cat and weld in the bungs.

I have never heard of anyone having to even losen anything engine related when doing these. I've done many sets and have fairly large hands and never have any problem.

The only problem I've ever had taking the turbo bolts off was with a car from the east coast and the bolts were severely corroded. I had to use a 1/2in. drive breaker bar with like 3 ft. of extensions to get a socket on the bolts. Other than that I've only ever used normal wrenches.
