If something goes wrong with my exhaust later on, it gets lose, it falls off, it's not straight, the alignment is off, it's scratched up, etc., I can go after a shop - it's all about liability. Just how I personally feel, that's all.
A "professional" is required to use a socket wrench. Nor does paying him provide you any benefits over someone who doesnt own a business. That's not a wise way to spend money. Businesses incur more costs than individuals, so you are paying more money for the same labor.

Well didn't the exhaust come off of another 3G eclipse? Chances are it bolts right up no problem.
