Default Good exhaust shop around chicagoland?

Hey, does anyone know of a good exhaust shop around the chicagoland area? I need a custom 3 inch pipe bent from my headers to the catback.

Thanks,
Dave

I'd check out a sponsor like Speed Inc, FLP, Straightline or Outlaw. Most folks will cut and weld to make a custom 3" exhaust, I don't know offhand if anyone has a 3" mandrel bender.

Nice!

Mitch, two questions:

1) What mufflers are used on the system pictured above?

2) What would you charge to build a system like that one behind the stock manifolds/cats on a '98 car? (send me a PM if you don't want to post prices here).

Thanks Mitch.
