Default Affordable Muffler is good

I bought a cut out and tried to put it on myself but it was too hard to weld with the car barely off the ground. I had to take it to a shop to finnish it up and I tried affordable muffler. I read a couple others on here who said it was a good place to go and I must agree.
I had the exhaust separated into 3 sections from when I took it apart earlier and they welded everything up nice and good. I also asked him to put little dumps after the muffler instead of rear tips. They took their time and I think they did a great job, and the cost was only $40.
They were grilling fajitas and offered me to grab some, I thought that was pretty nice.
Just wanted to spread the word about this exhaust shop if you are in the area (by I-10 and Dairy Ashford)

Yeah, Manny is a super cool guy. He's always done an excellent job when I went there.

He personally (not one of his croonies) welded the exhaust on my Formula using nothing but his hands for measurement. It was very impressive to watch him work. He invited me to stay and have burgers and beer with him and his croonies. What a heck of a guy. I think he helps out people (who work with him) who might be in bad shape financially or otherwise.

I have heard some good things about Affordable Muffler. I am probably going to have him weld up my cutouts when I get ready. Plus, I will probably have them check out my current setup an change it up a bit.
