My buddy Tyson at Performance Auto Fabrication in Glen Burnine MD. Just south of Baltimore. 45 minutes from the WW bridge with normal traffic. He charges $90 and does the best work.

if there is no performance shops around try a local muffler shop. they should be able to do that with no problem. i know that ELD performance from crofton maryland opened up a shop in richmond so try looking them up they are a performance shop.


this is ELD sites i didnt see a number for the richmond store but i ma sure if you call the crofton line they can connect you.

I would strongly consider staying away from ELD. Being a member of the performance industy myself, it would be unprofessional of my to say why or say anything negative about another company, but heed my advice.

Having Tyson do the work is more than worth the drive. He does top notch welding work.

i weld professionally for a living and i must say DO NOT just go to an exhaust shop to get your sfc's welded. 9 times out 10 they are using puny 110v welders. go to a shop that uses the big toys. this way there's less of a chance in a weld cracking or looking like crap. i personally hate using anything under 220v. so, if you can find a decent welder, machine, and shop, go there. you're honestly better off finding a fab shop locally and speaking with someone there.
