Default Fabspeed Mufflers and Agency Power Tips

Fabspeeds fitment was off by a lot... needed some custom fab work done by a competitor right up the road. Overall, sounds great and I think these are the best looking tips for the 911.


Shiney!

Travis from PSI fixing fitment issues

Done!

Not sure, as the previous owner of the tips said they were custom. I think they have a part number on them, I'll take closer look and report back.

they are either fabspeed or agency power, knock-off from the techarts.

there is a small difference in the styling that gives it away. love those tips for 911.

Kellen...Out of curiosity, how long did it take him to replace the water pump?

I'm floored by the dealer and indy pricing for frankly anything. The pump is 400 from the dealer. Much cheaper if you shop around. If he knows what he is doing its a 2 hr job.. so $300 an hour? Even if he is a ****ty indy and it took him 6 hrs that price is maybe fair at best.

I get not everyone is DIY but I don't understand the need to pay outrageous costs for routine work.

He had it all day. Wasn't watching him and don't know what the book rate for hours are. He was also chasing an odd noise that ended up being the water pump as well so I am sure there are some diagnostics in the bill. Plus gasket, coolant.

From reading on here I thought it was anywhere from $1000-1400 from my research. While I like wrenching on my own cars and have swapped water pumps before, I live downtown and its just not possible. The HOA fine would be insane. Plus as I get older I realize my favorite tool is becoming my Amex.....

Thanks for the quick response. Didn't mean to pick on your post. Glad your back up and running.

Your right on the going rate. Seems the p-tax is just ludicrous and everyone is ok with it.

Unless its engine internals or electrical, I'll continue to debate the value of the tax. Routine maintenance, bolt ons, suspension, brakes, etc.. is no different on this car than any other... you shouldn't pay more for labor. The same cheap shop mechanic can do all of it.
