Default Good exhaust shops in tomball?

My 3" y-pipe hangs 4" off the ground with stock springs!!! I got stan at stan's sotex to put my exhaust on and I'm about to drop my car with probably the pro kit. He said the only way he'll fix the pipe is if I get him to install the springs also. But he wants to charge me $170 for the spring installation.

So does anyone know of a good shop that will be able to tuck my y-pipe up better and install the springs along with re-alligning the car for cheap with yet high quality?

Come on by and check out the mandrel exhaust we are doing on a 65 El Camino. I can tuck the exhaust up nice and tight.

Cheap and high quality don't go together in exhaust and alignment work. But I do know a good exhaust and alignment shop in the area. Call All-Star Muffler & Brake on FM1488 near The Woodlands. The same family owns Tomball M&B but the Tomball shop stays really busy where as the Magnolia one needs stuff to do usually.

We have been going to Tomball M&B for years they do good work for a decent price. Never had a problem with them i recommend them to anyone

I went to get my truck aligned at All Star M&B I'm pretty sure they gave me the run around they said i needed $600 in work because i needed new tie rod ends and ball joints funny thing is the ball joints only have 10k miles on them. And this is what happend because i assume they did a half *** job putting it back together bc i told them i didnt want the wok done . Im came very close to destroying my truck and hurting or killing myself. I was doing 70 on the highway when i assume the nut came off. The only reason i didnt wreck is because the truck is lowered and the sway bar stopped it from coming all the way out. I knew something broke but i was in complete shock when i jacked it up and saw the nut gone.

Notice something very important missing also you can see where the tie rod hit the sway bar where they run by each other. They messed with alot of stuff when they had it i mean look how loose the saw bar endlinks are. I have no clue why they even touched those.
