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).

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

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.

[/b]Yep!! figure I get paid 89.71 per hr labor at work. which would be 4.4 hr I think headers are a bit more than that to install.

Wow, if you get paid $90/hr, remind me to never get work done at your garage, they must be billing at least $150/hr to the customer! Also, I am in the wrong business.
