Shop near Tahoe area to install SPD Downpipes?

[HighwaySentinel]

Tahoe is expensive for everything. I'd go to Reno or Sacramento.

I'm finally finding thr time to do this install and man, this stuff is on there. I have most removed but either Ford out this exhaust in all assembled or without the body on…

No way I can get this exhaust clamp off.

Any suggestions or cut it and get a new one?

Nvm, i cut it. There was no way for the tools I had.

My downpipes are now in, just buttoning things up, but man, what a royal pain. The threads on the turbo studs on the passenger side were both a little messed up and I'm pretty sure nobody has touched it other than Ford. I have all the records.

I had to tap both passenger threads even though the studs came out pretty easily. Very strange.

I did cut that Exhaust band clamp and saw on another thread that someone said not to cut it because Ford won't sell you a new one.

I found this one, ordered it from Oreilly for pickup the next day at the store.

Perfect (or so it seems). Haven't started it up yet.
