dual exhaust - where'd you get it done in LA area?

by **Astro** » Mon Nov 03, 2003 10:43 am

My black widow kit is almost finished and I need to do the work as soon as possible. The tip on the TRD exhuast doesn't quite reach the end of the bumper and can cause some paint damage. Can you tell me where you went? I'm hoping not to spend too much, I have spent so much on the bodykit intstall and paint, I need to find a good shop that can get it done reasonably. I know I could just find any muffler shop, but I would like to go where someone has been already. Any recommendations for mufflers? Any help will be deeply appreciated.

Thanks

damn you're all the way in north hollywood..i know a place down in torrance...where i got all my old cars done at, the guy used to do mainly muscle cars, but he does everything now...and i think pretty good job short of mandrel bending which i don't think he does. reasonable prices too.

I'm guessing no one in so. cal has split their exhaust with a y-pipe and 2 mufflers? :-?

i dont think it split @ the Y pipe... more so at the axle back (if we had one.) I believe it is similar to the V6 design of the accords.

Exactly, that's what I'm talking about...just like the accords.

im sure most muffler shops would be able to do that job. shouldnt be too hard.

Meineke will do that for not much. My friend had it done on his Sentra (just for show) and the materials (minus mufflers) and labor ran him about $200

wow... not sure how NY is priced, but in CA or my standards, that sounds costly

yea i got my exhuast on my old car done for about 100 taking out the resonators adding new piping and putting the new exhuasts on...200 does sound like a lot...small indepedent shops are the best and if you find one owned by a minority they will usually charge less and will do illegal things if you ask and pay cash...

i think its true because having two pipes reduces back pressure, which reduced your power....someone correct me if im wrong

true dual would be bad because it would reduce too much back pressure, but i'm sure thats not what you are looking at because that is very involved.

Catback dual wouldn't affect backpressure enough to yield a signifigant power loss. The biggest problem is the addition of weight

dual exhaust - where'd you get it done in LA area?
