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

I have had good luck with several exhaust systems from Warner's Muffler in Oceanside CA. Talk to Jim.

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:

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.

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?
