Hey guys - Let me preface this by saying I'm NOT a car guy at all (in terms of knowing the guts/performance stuff/etc). I'm a proud new owner of a '09 G8 GXP and looking to make a few after-market modifications to my ride. Namely, I'd like to add an aftermarket cat-back exhaust system and a cold air intake replacement. I'm looking for a good shop that I can order the parts through and also do the install for me. I'm not interested in doing it myself, as I really am clueless to the inner workings of automobiles and am very busy with work. Does it make sense to just go to the dealer for this stuff?

Any good recommendations on the parts/brands I should look at?

Most importantly, does anybody have any recommendations for a good, trustworthy shop in the SoCal area that can help me out? I live in Hermosa Beach.

Thanks a ton!

I was just down in Hermosa a couple weeks ago, and would have had no problem helping you (doing the work for you). There are a lot of good products out there that all work about the same, so it really comes down to personal preference. I have the Roto-Fab intake and love it, but there are others. As for exhaust, go to youtube and search G8 exhaust and you'll be able to hear most all brands available.

Best of luck, and congrats on the new 8!

Haddad is right there near you over in Inglewood.... if you're looking to drop the car off and pick it up done and done correctly I think that is your place.

My recommendation would be the Magnaflow Catback exhaust and the Roto-fab intake. I received a ton of compliments for my cars rumble. As for shops in socal:
