Muffler shop??

[(209)Stockton]

hey i was thinking would it be a bad idea if i just went to the locol muffler shop and just get me a exhaust from there??? what size of piping should i use???or if any of yyou guys have a used 1 for sell send me a pm???? thanks

i was thinking that they make mufflers usually stock or for trucks so performance wise you would have to find a shop that carries those types, like full stainless steel.

My fujitsubo exhaustthey said the steel is so thin that it might snap if i hit something or they try heating it up and bending the pipes back in. The thin steel is lightweigt purposes.

Every is usually not mandrel bent. I don't know of a good shop around Stockton.

You thinking about just changing the mufflers or something?

^^ Hey man, it's all good. No rush at all man. It's your setup after all

As for the exhaust, how much money does he owe you?
Is All Star Muffler over there on Hammer close to Copeland Sports and Firestone?

Getting a custom exhaust made isn't necessarily a bad thing. Most muffler shops don't do mandrel bends on their exhaust pipes though. Mandrel bending is where they bend the pipe a special way so that the diameter of the piping stays consistent throughout. If he does some bad bends, it could restrict airflow and possibly even flow a little worse than stock.

If you're thinking about going with just some custom piping and mufflers, it might be okay. In terms of performance, an exhaust doesn't add much to a stock car, so even if the setup wasn't for optimum performance you probably wouldn't be losing much power unless the custom exhaust system was really terrible. Just be careful, I would have them leave a resonator or two. Otherwise it might be too loud.

To be honest, I think it's a little ghetto, but if someone owes you money and if you don't think you can get it back any other way, it might be worth a shot.
