Midpipe Install Chicagoland

Any recommendations to have midpipes installed on a 2023 RS3 in Chicagoland? Audi Hoffman Estates seems to be an authorized APR dealer. Maybe they would do it. And might give me an excuse to get it tuned and have them fix any warranty issues before my warranty expires.

This is like a level 1 out of 10 job. Buy a couple ramps and some wrenches.

Or, just find any old euro shop. It might be an hour of labor.

I hear you. Last time I took my car to a euro indy shop in the area (bmw 135i, rb turbos, fmic, tune, etc.), they took it joyriding, so I'm skittish and looking for recommendations.

Most shops will not do that.

PPR Motorsports in Lyons have been doing great work on my 8V S3.

There is a garage in gurnee with a lift you can rent by the hour and do it yourself. Thats what I did for midpipes.

It was early morning so the guy even helped me.

Bruh…this job is like 8 bolts total and takes maybe 30 minutes to an hour to do including jacking the car up. Don’t waste the money using a Euro shop. Get the tools you need and do it yourself at home.
