Default SoCal. exhaust shops ??

Guys,

I was looking to find a good exhaust shop in Southern California. I am looking for someone with enough skill to do a 3" mandrel bent stainless system on a Silverado SS.

Thanks

Guys, just a heads up I called Ace muffler they said they couldn't do it at all. I called Supreme they said they could do it but only if i brought them all the parts, but no price quote. I called Gene's muffler, and he said he could do it for $5000, but he usually does aluminized with a coating for about 1200.00. It looks like this maybe be harder than I thought.

wow. Thanks for the update. I think it cost me $150 to do it in mild steel (but it was 15 yrs ago) . I think they changed owners becuase they used to be at a different location.

I do know of another place, more of a "hole in the wall" than anything, but they do good work. I found out about them because my local Chevy dealer subcontracts all their exhaust work to them. THey have a mandrel bender if I remember correctly. They are in South Elmonte, between teh 10 & 60 fwys. I'll try to swing by there this weeknd and grab a name & number.
