Scared to let anyone touch my precious! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

FosterSS · 12-28-2011, 10:17 PM

I want to get headers and exhaust put on, as well as other performance mods in the future, but im simply having a hard time letting anyone around here handle this! Does anyone else have this issue or do I just need to give in?

I know these mods I can probably do myself but my tools are limited and I dont want to run into an issue and get stuck in the middle of the job haha. What do you guys think?

Don't let it out of your sight, unless you don't mind them taking it for a joy ride.

Look for a reputable performance shop here on the forums in the Florida area.

If you are that concerned just do it yourself. The headers and exhaust are pretty simple to do and only limited tools are required.

If it's a reputable, well known shop then you have nothing to worry about.

I can't wait to bring my Camaro back to Jannetty Racing

Just do it yourself!! Headers and a CB exhaust is very simple to install. Man Up and start turning some wrenches....

Do it yourself! I don't trust anyone to do as well as a job as myself....unless it's a very reputable shop...and even then, it's a learning experience. Win win!
