Default Any custom exhaust shops in GA?

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a good custom exhaust shop in Georgia, to build LT headers for my conversion. Are there any?

Thanks

I was going to suggest Grand Muffler. There's a picture with the guy that now owns Grand Muffler in Smyrna, GA. (Todd Fisher) http://www.legalknevil.com/albums/Ma.../aay.thumb.jpg
and I believe he bought Grand from Buster.

Does that make sense?

Grand did my custom Y-pipe and they do great work too.

I know I'm a month late on this post, but just came across it. I didn't realize that Buster sold Grand. He did my '96's exhaust from the headers back and it was top notch. I was hoping to have him do my '99 soon. Anyone know if the quality has remained the same since he sold it???

If you're referring to Grand's quality...I dunno...

I've had them both work on my SS. They are as good or better now IMHO.

He has a shop at his house in Hiram. He does custom work by appt. only now. His address and number are in the second post. He completely rebuilt my exhaust from the manifolds back when I stepped up from a t-67 to a t-76.
It spools just as fast with the larger turbo, thanks to Buster's knowledge of exhaust flow and craftmanship. His work is second to none.

Thanks for the info. I read the post but didn't pay attention to the name on "Exotic Exhaust" so I never put two and two together. Anyhow, I'll probably stick w/ Buster since he did such a nice job on my '96 car.
