Default Slowhawk or other shop for a good dual exhaust?

So the car currently has Longtubes, 'cats', a Y pipe and a dynomax bullet dumped, but I want to run true duals off of my 'cats' which are 2.5 inches.

Can anyone recommend a good exhaust shop, say north of Boston and south of Portland, ME that does good F-bod exhaust work?

Does Slowhawk do custom exhaust?

1500+ for the Kooks system is a bit too much. I want mandrel bends, but don't want to climb over 500-600 bucks (I will supply two flow 10 series muffs and the X pipe). Is it possible? Any place you guys recommend?

For mandrel bends the piping alone will cost around 5-600 bucks.

There's a place up on the north shore in Salem that did me a complete headers to tips system all in one piece of mandrel bent pipe on each side. I hate the look and leakiness of a system made up for 20 little pipes welded together.

PM me if you want the name.

$1500 is cheap for a true dual exhaust in stainless.

Slowhawk do you make your own exhaust or is it a kit?

We just do bolt on exhausts. Too much money for us to do custom Tigged stainless when you can just buy them done.

Do a search of kooks dual exhaust -f-body. For the money we just recommend an electric cutout. Most duals over the axle lose hp.

Patrick Guerra achieved some crazy numbers using a YPipe design...why bother going duals when its so much more money?
