if you're keeping cats.....any muffler shop will do it. try Mienke, Midas, and some smaller owned shops as well.

NEVER take your car to these places. Go to Red's Muffler on University Ave in Urbana (right across from lil porks). They installed my cutout for me and they did an awesome job. Those other places will likely tear something up.

you can also use band clamps instead of welding. i never had mine welded and was great. this way you dont have to cut to remove it, should have came with the clamps

If you can't do it yourself take it to Reds or the muffler shop in Mahomet, I think its community tire or something.

All you need to install a cat back is basic hand tools, and a sawzall to get the old one off.

Yeah, It would be a 6.5 hour job. Maybe 7 if Dan was involved. 30 min of work and 6+ hours of beer and bullshit.
