    Gonna get a custom exhaust set up. Looking for a reputable shop. Have never been to any or know of any. Wondering if anyone who has experience with one might refer me. Live in Maricopa city so I'm sure it'll be a drive no matter where it is. Preferably close though. Or even maybe a member on here that does exhaust? I went to a nice shop right off the 10 and I think Chandler road but don't remember they're name or location for the life of me. I had his card but can't find it anywhere:(
    Thanks.

    Not yet. Been kinda putting it off. But it is still next on my list. I think I found that place I mentioned. They moved to mesa/apache junction I think. Called RPM. Redline Performance Manufacturing. I may give him a call and take the drive if/when i decide to go.

    I've heard great things about Mesa Muffler (obviously not chandler but supposed to be great customer service).

    I always go to Apache Muffler (Might be the same as Mesa Muffler). There is an old guy named Butch who works there and does magic with exhaust works.

    I haven't been there in over 7 years so things may have changed. I'd give them a call.

    As for in chandler, there really isn't to many custom shops here. What are you wanting to get done?

    Been in contact with RPM. Redline Performance Manufacturing.
    Off Dobson and Broadway.
    I'm no expert with exhaust systems really but.. From my impressions they aren't your run of the mill shop for sure. I think they specialize in custom headers and whole systems. But can do easy peasy stuff too like hack and welds.. They were working on some badass cars while I was there.. Had what looked like a couple pro street cars and a few hot rods. Turbo'd firebird they showed me with the exhaust exited out the front right bumper valance.. Idk I was impressed. Can do just about anything from what they tell me. Seems a bit pricey but for awesome workmanship I'm willing and will be getting it done there.

    Getting a new system built from manifold/y pipe back and exited out the bed side in front of the pass tire. My dual cat cali spec is getting ripped out.. I should be having my Mag cat, vibrant ultra quiet rez, and Borla pro xs muffler arriving in the next few days. I'm gonna be looking at around $600, maybe a hair less, for the whole system installed. And that's just for installation...:eek: Yeah the cat,rez and muffler was $300. So pretty much $900 total I'm looking at. I tried talking him down on price after I said I'd be ordering the components myself. And he did knock it down from $650 to $550. But that was without the resonator too. So I figured another $50 to make it an even $600. Idk it's not set in stone yet. But I'm kinda anxious. About the price anyways. I'm sure it'll be badass work. But I'm tired of waiting and don't wanna go shopping around. I need this done like, now. My stock dual cat spec is gettin perty clogged. She's so sluggish it's not even funny.

    So all new 2.25 piping(mild steel), flanges, bungs and everything. No hacking or utilizing old stuff. Didn't worry about headers. Not supercharged (I wish). Besides I'm sure it'd be double the price for headers added in.. Then it'll be exited out the bedside with a stainless steel tip flanged out to 3". With a stainless steel 'sprocket'/ 'spiked' trim ring. Hopefully next Monday I'll be dropping her off. Was supposed to be today but awaiting those parts..


    Also got another thread regarding this setup here for the exact parts and a couple pics for reference of what it'll look like, kinda.
