What shops have you gone to for work

I am looking for some quality work on my exhaust system and thought asking some local people where you all got yours done would be a great start. I'm going to get a custom cat-back. Any help much appreciated. I'm in oregon so deep in washington won't help me but will help others. Thanks.

Does hyper rev do installs. My friend told me about them, all good things. I have looking around at local exhaust shops and most give me a shady feeling. Maybe I am being too much of a weiner about it, but hey it's my dime right. Maybe I will check them out.

I haven't dealt with them personally, but they always come up. I do know that they did all the work on the yellow Kaminari Lancer that was posted in this registry.

Here's the car.

I was able to see the car firsthand, and it's definitely a clean install.

Why dont you just purchase a cat-back? I would assume you are so why would you pay someone to literally loosen some bolts take the old nexhaust off and put a new one in it's place...seems like a whole lotta wasted time and money. BELIEVE ME IT IS SOOOOOO SIMPLE!!!! Just look up on any FAQ about installing them and you will see what I mean. If you are just planning on getting a muffler then just go pick the one you want out they ussually only cost like 150 and any muffler shop will weld it on for you doesnt mean you have to go to a performance shop for it just my 2cents

I see you said custom so does that mean you are just getting some crushed piping, not mandrel bent?

Done and Done. I replaced my piping with 2.5" and a flowmaster. It sounds pretty damn sweet. I also got a dual walled tip. Total: $264.95.

Darrel's Economy Muffler. He actually is a big racer at the portland speedway in the 80's and 90's he had all of his trophies in the lobby. So to kill the time while waiting I checked out his stuff. If your in portland, it's a great place to go. They know their business.

I don't have the tools nor most of the know how to do my own car for the most part. When it comes to suspension or most major componants of the engine, I leave it to the pros.
