How much for aftermarket CP install

nickrose23 · 02-05-2015, 12:35 PM

I just got my stett charge pipe with tial bov in the mail. Called a local shop and they said around 350$ for the install... Isn't that a bit much?? I would do it myself but I live in an apartment and don't have the tools...

dtla1 · 02-05-2015, 12:36 PM

You can get the tools you need for <$15 at harbor freight and do it yourself in about 30 mins tops.

$350 sounds very steep now doesn't it?

mike5809 · 02-05-2015, 12:41 PM

That's absurd. For a non-dealer, $350 would be like 4-5 hours of labor.

It shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to install. My N55 was super easy and quick.

spend the $350 and fly me from LA to Texas. I will bring a screwdriver and wrench and be done in 20 minutes.

Lmao that's what I'm sayin! I know the instal doesn't take long.. He said it should be about 3-4 hours? Unreal.

nickrose23 · 02-05-2015, 12:48 PM

I'm n54 btw. Not sure how much a time difference it makes

Gizm0 · 02-05-2015, 12:53 PM

Save some mulla and DIY

Morpheus · 02-05-2015, 01:08 PM

You can definitely do this yourself. About like installing an intake. I wouldn't pay more than $70.

Infamy · 02-05-2015, 01:15 PM

sounds like some1 is trying to rob you!! can be done in under 30min

335m · 02-05-2015, 01:17 PM

Where in Austin did you call? That is hilarious. I think they thought you meant Downpipe.

I wrote a DIY for n55 but n54 should be just as easy. If you cant figure out a way to get it done just PM me and I'll help you out.

You should join Austin Euro Grouppe on FB if you aren't already.

Johnny Boost · 02-05-2015, 01:42 PM

I would say $100 max for a CP install.

335NJ · 02-05-2015, 01:54 PM

It's a half hour to an hour job of you've never done one before. $350, like others have said, would be 3-4 hours Indy labor, maybe more.

SgtGoldy · 02-05-2015, 02:06 PM

Took me 15min to install mine... Super Simple.

Direct replacement, no cutting, bending, moving, etc. Just take oem out put aftermarket in

mike@x-ph.com · 02-05-2015, 02:21 PM

install takes less than 1 hour.
If your shop charges 1 hour minimum,it should be 100$ max

Don't have dci... I've looked into it but performance wise I haven't found it necessary.. Even with jb4. Although the sound is pretty nice

nickrose23 · 02-05-2015, 02:38 PM

Does anyone have a video link.. I've looked and can't find one

Performance wise its completely worth it! its so cheap and way easy to maintain! It might not give you the advertised 15hp but I am sure you'll pick up at least 8-10hp. More air, bigger bang.

Grabbed a used pair for 50.00 and install both at the same time

seriously dude, consider it. It's worth it.
