    good exhaust shops in chicago area

    Need some minor exhaust work done. Ya know, tips welded in, mufflers put in, a pipe made to go from my exhaust manifolds to the H pipe.


    Mufflers and cat delete first.



    Anyone know of a good place?

    ryan why the hell do you keep asking when you asked this very question 5 times before and still havent got any work done yet. i even gave you a name of a good shop and who to talk to, you heard my car, you heard another member's car that was done there and you still ask like nobody gave you any advice on where to go. last time i talked to you, you even said you were gonna have some work done by my guy. so why are you wasting people's time asking these questions?

    If your ever out in the aurora area I know of a very cheap place, not the best looking work but cheap, don't leak, and cheap!

    I paid $30.00 for rear cats removed, $40 for (poor man) deletes, and $180.00 for flows w/installation.

    Sounds great! for a total of $250.00.

    Think they'll remove the cats off my old lincoln with no problem? They heat up my transmission too much.

    We have a few of those Tuffy shops by me. I'll never go there again. My brakes in an 89 GMC van were messed up. They wanted $1200 bucks to fix them! I went to autozone, bought some pads and had someone put them in and the brakes were fine for the next several years I owned the vehicle. Maybe I'll check out that one on 91st and Harlem when it's time for some exhaust.

    yea the issue with this is not really about WHERE you go to get your work done but WHO does the work. honestly other than the guy i used for my exhaust i wouldnt have anyone else in that shop touch my car lol. prior to going to him i went to about 5 or 6 other shops around here that "specialize" in exhaust work and it was like talking to a brick wall, morons didnt know crap they were talking about. one of them even told me that "its impossible to put in anything larger than a 2" pipe in these cars" and later on tried to tell me that my car has a special police motor in it lol. o well, just tells ya you really have to talk to people that will work on your car before commiting to a shop.
