Anyone know some cheap exhaust shops?

[Alfa Seltzer]

I'm looking to get both cats and my O2 sensor replaced. I also need a hole in the middle section of my exhaust patched.

I'm looking for a shop who can get this done on the cheap with generic parts. If I can find it cheap enough I'm going to throw a set of cherry bombs on as well. :D

So, anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for something within an hour of marietta.

find some1 with a welder to borrow and a saw zaw and do it yourself.


but cats, even generic ones are about 100 bucks. but contact mineke or other ones in ur area and get some quotes

$100 is a heck of a lot cheaper than the $450 it normally costs for a replacement cat on my car.

I'm contemplating just getting everything from the headers back replaced. If I decide on that route would you have any suggestions for shops?

[AnthonyF]

depends on ur car. a header back would be a great addition but if ur going to run cat(s) its going to rob u of power. if you dont run cats not only will it be cheaper but better gas mileage, but you will have a CEL. so...you have MANY different routes. You can get the CEL to go off with a tune but then again...your going to be spending right at 450 for everything or a lot more. sooo...you really got to figure out which route u want to go

I'm not too concerned with power as my headers are very restrictive so I wont see any gains from anything past them.

I'm trying to pass emissions and if possible get a louder, throatier sound.

I'm sure the owner would appreciate seeing and having your "not so ordinary" car there too.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions, I'm going to have to start driving around and getting more quotes.

I dont know if they will love having it there, I have a feeling quite a few problems are going to pop up.

Such as...

The rear section of the exhaust is in the shape of a S. From my understanding, if this section is replaced with just straight pipe the aerodynamics in the rear cause fumes to be sucked back into the car.

Magic Muffler what speedminded said. They are very reasonable.

Anyone have any idea how hard it is to do something like this?
