Default Need a good exhaust shop recommendation

I just lowered my car and my TSP dumped setup is way too low for my liking. I love the setup and not really wanting to get a new one made, so I'm looking for a shop that can work with what I have and maybe tuck it up a bit more.

Somewhere in socal, thx

Rett's Automotive in Arcadia, CA. He does a lot of chasis's and for race cars. He is going to do mine for me here, well just getting my exhaust tucked up and flanges welded to my y-pipe and headers and y-pipe to exhaust. he quoted $315 to tuck everything up and weld it and make all nice.

Thanks for leads guys, I'll be sure to check them out. Do you think they will be able to work with what I have or do I have to get a whole new set up?

It might be the fact that your SLP headers do not have the best ground clearance. I have installed Pacesetters, Edelbrocks, Hookers, and Kooks and from what I've seen, they all have better ground clearance than the SLP's.

But I do agree that changing your y-pipe set up will help out alot. I've never been a fan of TSP's ORY. 5-pieces...really?!

EDIT: My bad, I thought you said your TSP y-pipe was too low, not a TSP duals.

Yeah I have the tsp x pipe. There is definitely room to work with between the pipes and my car, I know it can tuck up better

Just picked my car up this week after getting the exhaust redone from headers back. Think they did a great job, I provided some of the parts, but my total cost came in under $500 for everything.

Tucked it up real nice into the pockets, doesn't scrape at all anymore on normal obstacles.

Yea everything down to 2.5". Nice and quiet at idle/low rpms now. Sounds almost stock I think, though it must be years since Ive heard a bone stock exhaust fbod lol.

Definitely quieter than my loudmouth 2 on the z28. Before the firebird made the camaro sound like an electric car, if anyone heard it before i bought it from Nevrlift13.

Sounded real mean and got a lot of comments, but I was sweating every time I saw a cop.
