Default Exhaust shop...

Need contact info on decent exhaust shops in the Orange County area. Gotta get a OEM LS1 cat-back setup installed, buy a high flow cat to match, and troubleshoot a knocking sound from it when I go over bumps (probably a missing/broken mount). Looking to get it done some time this week...

Flowmasters, Magnaflows, etc. sound utterly disgusting (IMO) on these 3.8L V6 engines, so I'm hoping a "restrictive" OEM setup from an LS1 WS6 will be just right in terms of looks and sound. The stock V6 tubing is supposedly 2.25" so right now I have a 2.25" single-inlet dual-outlet GM muffler from the factory. I was considering a Summit Racing Turbo muffler, but it's only a single outlet and I love the look of dual exhaust - it's also supposedly really quiet too.

I think I found a place, thanks for all the replies!

I agree on the muffler plaza. Been there twice now myself through recommendations from people here.

Really Good Place is Positive Performance on Katalla in Anahiem. Ask for Tom Fox. He's the best, and he's funny.
