    Depending on what all they have to do the time may very. But by no means should it really take 2 months. Unless they have to design and test everything as they go. If they have all the parts ready shouldn't take more than 2-3 business days to install.

      should by no means take 2 months no matter what. you need to get on the horn and get their asses in gear.

          unless they had to order parts or send out for pipes to get made. It really shouldn't take that long if they are doing the fabrication. You should really be a bit upset with yourself for not being in the shop on a daily basis and in ther business like you own the place.

                    yeah thats a very long time I would be calling alot to ask what they have got done yet...call every other hour and see what kinda progress they have had in the last two hours, that'll get em to hurry up and get it done. I would probably get my car and money back and take it somewhere else. If you have to piss them off to get them to finish it then you don't know how good of a job they are really going to do on it. You didnt give 'em a dead line or ask for an estimated date....2 months should be plenty if they had to fabricate everything on their own.
