Default Just moved out to columbia MD

I just moved out here to Columbia, MD, and need to find a decent shop where i can get some exhaust work done on my 1998 z28 (and probably a lot more later). Had a custom exhaust made for it but the electric cut-outs hang way too low for around here, just gonna get them removed so i can tuck the exhaust back up under where it used to be.

So I went to 75&80 the track is ok but it is not far and you do not have to worry about people stealing your ****. I will send you a PM with my friends number and I will put mine in feel free to call if you want to meet up sometime.

The closest 1/4 track to you would be Capital in Crofton. Try this place for your exhaust.

It's not that bad...I've seen numerous 9 sec and faster cars making passes there. I haven't been but I hear MIR is the best prepped track in MD but you'll be making an hour to hour and a half drive at least to get down there.

I always preferred capitol over mir due to friendlier people and the amount of runs you can get in. but prep is normally sub par

PM me on a shop in the area that does good work, I got one. And capital is the closest but MIR has the best track prep.

Looks like I will be getting the exhaust fixed on Monday. Thanks for all the help. It's going to be nice not to fear speed bumps, well at least until i get new shocks/springs which may lower it a bit.
