JoeyKam Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Just contacted The Shop to get a quote on an up pipe install. I have heard great things about them. I actually used to work out at planet fitness next door when I had my G35 coupe and I saw all the cars they were working on a daily basis. They have had some monsters there so I am thinking of having some work done there. I am looking for feedback for their work and if anyone else has some suggestions in shops to look into in my NY/CT area. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 EFI Logic's is close by too. Did you only buy the buy the up pipe ? no down pipe too ? Do you plan to replace the oil return hose too ? What does the coolant crossover pipe under the crank pulley look like ? If its all rusty you might want to have it replaced too. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

chaz517 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 The Shop is where I take my car for all of my tuning needs! I have a thread in the Dyno forum about them and my numbers. Mustang dyno 311/341 on 93. StiMikey is the tuner over there and is very reputable! Also come check out UFC Gym In Norwalk next time you are there and ask for Brandon Planet fitness.. You should be ashamed LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyKam Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Jimmy at the shop just quoted me 300-400 for just the up pipe install. That seems a bit steep I would think. Just installing the up pipe for right now. I will be doing the down pipe soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 When you look at what has to come apart to replace the up, you'll understand why it cost so much. That's why most do the down pipe at the same time, because that has to come out first, then the turbo, then the up. Also why I'm telling you to replace the oil return hose too. And remove the banjo filter while the up is out. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

JoeyKam Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Yeah I understand. I got an estimate from EFI also and both estimates are about the same. Replace it with an oem oil return hose or is there an aftermarket. And what is the banjo filter? Thanks again for all the help bro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Oh boy, you have a lot to learn. Good thing is, you've come to the right place. Read some of the stickys at the top's of the forums. You may have a need for these too. Hint the 2005GT's start around page 1600, check the back of the book for How things work. http://people.csail.mit.edu/ilh/vacation/ 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

polo735 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 +1 for ECS performance / east coast swappers in Windsor locks. Had them do up /down pipes and timing belts on my lgt and 9-2x. Great job on both occasions. They're nearby the tire rack distribution center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
