Recommendations for HFC install?

Hey guys,

I'm about to pick up some HFCs soon and I was wondering if anyone could give me recommendations on where to install them. I'm looking for areas around OC or LA. I would prefer places that people have actually gone to or have had great experiences with (along with cheap prices).

Thanks

Try R&D Factory in Montebello. They do great work and prices are very cheap. Also Temple City Auto Repair is another good shop. Corner 3 would another great choice but they aren't cheap. FYI expect to pay in the range of $80-120 for HFC install.

That price range isn't that bad considering what I've been quoted already Have you had any experience at Temple City Auto? I might check it out since it's close to my house. I'll call them up and ask for a quote. Thanks for the input

^ I actually called them up a few hours ago since I live less than a mile away from them. Unfortunately, I got quoted $150 for the install

Yes. Henry & John are great guys! I've had most of my parts installed there including my Stillen Gen 3 Intake, H&R springs, camber kits, Akebono BBK's, Hotchkis Sways, etc. Another great things about TEMPLE CITY AUTO is that they have a Hunter alignment machine and also offer corner balancing.

Give them a call and let them know Jason with the PG sedan sent ya.

Wasn't much less than what I posted. I went with Kinetix. No problems. Just wanted test pipes one day. Did them in the parking lot at USC. Most hellish experience ever haha.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I ended up doing the install at amplified (got a better deal since I'm buying the HFC from them too) and the price was easily justifiable. I actually felt like I should be paying more considering the amount of work they put in to get my stubborn stock cats off. I definitely recommend amplified for HFC installs haha
