Dallas Area: Need a good exhaust shop. Since search is broken, I'll go ahead and post this up.
I'm not looking for anything fancy really. I just need to get the muffler/tips hung, fabricate an intermediate pipe and a little fabrication on the stock Y-Pipe where it was cut off.
Can anyone recommend a place in the Dallas area that's pretty fair and does good work?

Well, right now the car is running stock manifolds to the cats and to a chopped off Y-Pipe. The Y-Pipe was cut right after the bends towards the I-Pipe merge because if it were to go on as one piece, the I-Pipe merge would be pointing towards the rear tire. So there has to be some sort of fabrication on the Y-Pipe to get it to line up straight.
I'd have to go look at it again, but I'm pretty sure there'll need to be a bend in the I-Pipe to connect to the over-the-axle pipe. Then there's the actual hanging of said muffler/tips.
I believe that's all the work that needs to be done in a nutshell. I'm looking to do it anytime next week as I have the whole week off.

If so then the 150 is out....If you cant find something cheaper, i will do it for you...But you know it will be pretty and un crimped stuff that i use. Think about it and we will come up with something..all else fails shoot me a email at mhutto01@yahoo.com with some pics of what you got and we can talk it through from there.

I have a lot of time off, so I can just drive over there and show you if you want.
See what you can do for a camera from a neighbor something before you make the long drive out this way...Ill get you fixed up for sure man! Ill try monday to see if they have that pipe instock as well. When I went a few weeks ago they actually had a complete 1 piece one that I bet I could wiggle in the car by dropping the rear end and panhard setup to get it in place.

by the way... Doug at Advanced Exhaust in Duncanville off Cockrilll Hill does real good work... he is old school....takes his time and doesnt charge an big dime.
but Mike is where everyone seems to be going to... I am sure he specializes in LS1's! Where does he do the work at??
Is Mike the same guy that used to be on the TrueStreet website?? I think I met him at Kennedale years ago!!!??? and at the street races??
He was at 360 when I ran the "Dangerous" Crews White Cobra on 360 with my Grand Am GT and a nice 85 shot of N20!!!?? I will have that story to tell for the next 100 years!!! ROFLMAO

I'm starting to think that I don't even want this Flowmaster muffler and huge *** chrome 3" tips or whatever they are. I got it for free, so I'm not complaining... but I don't want that **** on my car really. I like the look of no exhaust tips. Can you fab up something like that Mike? I may just end up going to an exhaust shop and getting raped.
