I'm looking for a shop that does custom exhaust work in Iowa. I would prefer it to be close to hamilton county but if anyone knows of any ones please let me know. Looking to have my headers installed (since bending and welding will be required).

You really dont need either if you install them correctly.

If it was direct bolt up I'd do it myself.

Knock off paceheaders from dna motoring. Heard they fit exactly like the ebay ones and have issues. Unsure where to bend and how much, hoping to get some help on what is needed to be done.

If they are like the ebay ones that had issues, the crossover pipe needs to be cut and rewelded. An exhaust shop should be able to make it fit.

Hey Corey, I thought that was just the OBX brand? And these newer Speedydaddy or w.e headers fit perfectly. I swear on CGP people say they fit with no fabrication at all.


Plus, they wouldnt bend the crossover, they would just cut/reweld

Im sure Andrew would be capable of doing it

You're probably right. I just saw in his sig that he had Pacesetters, so apparently that isn't correct. I know that the old ones had big issues, but its good that they fixed it. That is awesome that the new headers on there are working great for such a low price. Not a bad solution at all for guys on a budget.. aka... all of us.
