ace muffler on pch between orange and walnut. they did the piping for my corolla a few years back. great price but the welds were sloppy.

I dont mind paying a bit more for great quality work. Rather not go to a place that does "sloppy" welding, lol.

only 156? hmm i should probably go there too then. i wanna get same setup as you but i like the double look over the single. wonder how much that will cost.

note what he got done, thats 156 JUST in piping.

there arent any muffler or resonators involved, those are what make up the bulk of the price.

i got mine made for less than teh cheapest manufactured exhaust for the LS.

165 with the labor and the pipe right? i am just going to do straight pipes removing the sec. cats...wonder how much will it be

fwynn

iTrader: (1)

haha yea 156 was pretty much just piping and tip :] (that ALSO INCLUDED LABOR and TAX)


IF i remember correctly.. it was either 30 or 60 dollars to install a resonator (they chop and weld their own resonator.. if you brought ur own then of course its cheaper)

muffler id recommend you bring your own.

okay so i called speedway at gardena...i ask them whether i can just cut the secondary cats and just weld straight pipes...but they turn me down saying its illegal and they could get fine 25K. -_-;;....any other shop???

valley muffler...hahah i still remember back when everybody went there. hey radicalrev, do what i always do when i need some "grey area" muffler mods. go to a shop owned by a minority owner. then tell them what you want and offer to pay in cash and tell them you dont want a receipt. that usually works. and yes removing all cats for a regular vehicle is techincally illegal.
