re: Exhaust shop
FYI
Just so you know, mandrel benders cost upwards of $250,000.
Not going to find any muffler shops with that ability.
I do make custom mandrel Y-pipes tho.

re: Exhaust shop
Call Eddie at Best Muffler in Lake Elsinore. Does custom application such as LS1 swaps, turbo piping etc. He has people driving hours to get work done by him and charges reasonable prices.
He did my 3 inch Y-pipe many years ago with really tight clearances:

re: Exhaust shop
He can usually do it the same day and he won't discriminate on the fact that you swapped in a better platform
What does your exhaust consist of?

re: Exhaust shop
I was quoted $250 for just the Y-pipe from Cunningham Motorsports(CMS). At the time I didn't know he used Eddie for all his work(even 800-1000rwhp builds) or else I would have gone directly through him to avoid middle man fees.

re: Exhaust shop
Jesse's performance exhaust makes some amazing systems and has great pricing. custom y-pipe for a titan was only about 200...check him out he looks past all swaps for all my military buddies...
