Default Good exhaust shop in B/CS?

I need an exhaust shop to finish up installing my TSP catted-y. I've given up messing with it and I'm ready to pay someone else to do it. Biggest PITA ever!

I had one a few weeks ago to and yes it was a pain...!!!!

i got it done though just took about 2 hours worth of wrestling and scratching my head...then once i got it on there i clamped it all tight except for the headers and spot welded it...Marked the drivers side where it hits the body and beat it up with a hammer to clearance that section.

My biggest problem is getting the I-pipe to fit up. The y-pipe fits tight up against the body, except for the last piece that connects. For some reason it points down at an angle no matter how much I move the rest of the pipes. I can't get my DS safety loop to fit, much less get hooked up to the catback. I'll probably mess with it some other time. I'm just tired of lying on my back and cussing at exhaust pipe. My DS loop is dangling and the y-pipe is just hanging now. Poor car will never get driven.

Thanks for the compliment SSilverSSurfer, I’ve lived here for almost 5 years now, just don't get to drive the car much.

Chances are the loop wont fit anymore after it anyways. You are better off with a Lakewood unit to be honest. I had to take a swedger to the car I had to open the I-pipe up so I could get the y inside the I pipe. You can rent one at autozone that is run off a highspeed drill or impact.
