Default Exhaust shop

Anyone know of a good exhaust shop close to abilene that will do a true dual dumped before rear axle setup? I called the shop here in town and they won't do it. I at least need someone to build the x-pipe setup coming off of the headers and i can finish the rest of it. I would buy the system from TSP but i'm not wanting to spend quite that much right now.

Man, I drove around for quite awhile talking to a few different exhaust shops. No one seems to even wanna touch these cars for less than a grand. That guy at Apple Muffler is a freakin no-it-all. I drove by there this morning and he didn't even wanna do a catback because he claims it's a waste of time because the factory piping is all 3". I tried to tell him it's not and that I measured it myself but he wouldn't shut up long enough to listen. Good luck and lmk if you find anyone.

Talk to Firehawkzach on our forum and see if he can build one, ship it to you and you could install.

Abilene Automotive and Performance (South 1st) will do just about anything but they can't do fabrication work because they don't have the benders. But they'll install about anything you bring in.

basically all i really need is a good x-pipe setup that will bolt right up to my headers, i could do the rest after the x-pipe, i just don't have access to a pipe bender either..

i'll check out that Firehawkzach and see what he can do for me..

thanks guys
