I've finally reached the breakpoint with my QTP catted Y pipe and I need to do something about it, the damn thing just sits too low and catches on every bump.

I'm located technically on Cape Cod but I am willing to travel... I'm looking for a decent exhaust shop, any recommendations out there?

Basically what I'd like to do is keep the headers and go with a True Dual setup. It has to exit out the back so that I can pass inspection but otherwise I guess the sky is the limit. I'd like to stick to 2.5in so that it can tuck up decently though.

In addition:

-Is anyone in MA running dumps and if so, how do you get away with it?

-Do you think I should go totally custom from the header back or should I just get a Bassani TD kit and have someone make it fit the QTP LT headers?

Thanks guys.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, the car is a 98 Camaro.

There is a certain shop in Salem MA. that thrives on performance exhaust work!!!! Although, I have found the guy is kind of a perfectionist.

Call Brian at Lou's Custom Exhaust in Waltham. They'll do absolutely anything you want.

Does the Waltham shop do manderal bends? I know the Brockton shop doesn't and it hurt HP alot on a vehicle recently.

I called Joe to ask for you. He said they don't and gave me a laundry list of reasons why not.
In the end, when it's my build, I just do whatever you tell me to, so whatever.

Thanks for the tips guys.

I've had the same problem finding a shop that can do Mandrel bends, nothing yet.

I'm starting to wonder if I should just buy bends and have it welded, or buy the Bassani and have it chopped up to fit my headers...

So, does everyone fab up their own exhausts in New England? =)

I just got off the phone with them and said they do not do mandrel bends, they do crush bends. Otherwise, the shop in Waltham does do nice work. I'm having them weld in my cut out tomorrow.

FWIW, Lou's in Waltham has done 3 custom truck systems for me and I've always been happy with the work. The last system, they installed my LT's, welded flanges and customized everything. I found a few pix and thought someone might actually care to see their work...





that's all folks!

there won't be much 'chopping' to do to get the bassani to fit onto longtube headers. i just did mine onto a set of dynatech headers.
