Need someone to install exhaust

I Need someone to install an H-Pipe and Catback on my 2000 Mustang. I don't feel like spending a day on my back in an apartment parking lot to get it done. I have already ordered everything needed (H-pipe, Catback, and a new Ford mid-pipe gasket). I'm hoping it will all arrive by Friday so I can get it done Friday, or over the weekend. The sooner, the better, as I will probably get pulled over if there is a cop with in 1/4 mile.

 

 

Here is the story:

 

My current Dynomax catback was rusting through around the hanger location. I was aware of this and was trying to hold out 2 more weeks, so the salt would be gone, and I'd be able to take it to my parent’s house in Cincy to install a new one. Well, as luck would have it that didn't happen. On my way home from work the hanger separated from the pipe and I began dragging my driver side exhaust along 670. I immediately got off the next exit (Grandview Ave.) for fear of parts falling off and reeking havoc behind me. Anyway I got lucky (or so I thought) as there was a Mieneke Muffler shop right there on the corner. I pull in, exhaust dragging, and ask them to just tack weld it back up if possible, if not to just cut the tailpipe off after the muffler.

 

Well after looking at it, they were able to get it tack welded back up. Perfect, this would by me the 2 more weeks I needed to install a new one. I was sitting in the waiting room, and could here my car start, and then a few seconds later start revving..... followed by really loud revving. At the time it didn't hit me, they just wanted to hear it, I thought. Then it got insanely loud and they finally brought it out and parked in the parking lot. I paid the $20 and went to leave. I looked under my car to check the work. Driver side looks good, but the passenger side is all screwed up. Well, apparently as they were backing the car off of the lift, the passenger side exhaust somehow got hung up on the rack. Instead of trying to figure out what happened they just kept giving it gas in reverse. They completely F'd up my Dr. Gas x-pipe, it completely folded the pipe, so it is now pointing out the front of the car. Not only that but it tore the rear O2 sensor wires. So, I'm going to need the torn wires soldered back together as well. Right now the car is insanely loud, as the exhaust doesn't make it to the mufflers.

 

 

Anyways, back to the original plea for help. I need someone to install the new H-pipe, Catback, and try and salvage the O2 sensor (not a big deal if you can't). I need it to be leak free and well fit. Post or PM me any offers, it needs to be done this Friday or over the weekend.

 

 

Thanks.

Hob,

Thanks for the offer, if it were any weekend but this one, I would take you up on it. However, a bunch of my old college roomates are flying in for Saint Patricks Day (and March Madness) for the weekend and crashing at my place. It would be kind of sh**ty if I wasn't there. Thanks though, I'll definately keep that in mind in the future.
