Default Shreveport/Bossier - Good Exhaust Shops Anywhere?

I need a good exhaust shop in the shreveport/bossier area, anybody know one?

The last guy did a shitty job over there on north market. There's another crappy one off of shreveport-barksdale hwy that I will never use again.

I used to use Q-tones off of benton road (I think they went out of business a few years ago), usually would take literally a whole day and let all these other people get done before me and **** me off. But, he did awesome work. The bends weren't mashed and each pipe was enlarged and slipped over the one it was being connected to and then welded. It didn't have 1/2" of space that needed to be filled with weld, by putting a pry bar in there, like I've seen a bunch of other shops do.

Please list who you use/have used and your experiences, Thanks!

i agree with everything you said about the shops you listed. a&b would be my choice but they dont touch anything that doesnt have cats and charge too much$.

I've always used Lites and have never had a problem, but it sounds like you may have got a shitty worker. Roger himself does mine and that may be the difference.

I've had lite do mine several times but there bends always suck. I do my own now and is say its better than any shop around here can do without a mandrel. I use a harbor freight bender and pack my pipe with sand to keep it from crushing or wrinkling.

I had the old dude at Worldwide on greenwood rd do my old ladys truck and a couple of previous cars and it always turned out very nice. Prices were reasonable IMO. Obviously he can't do mandrel bends but I bet nobody in the city can......except Shane
