socal muffler shops?

[joshchewuhh]

Pretty much like what the title says. If you live in socal area (torrance, long beach, downey etc,) where is a legit muffler shop that have them do a custom system. I have one next to my house but i want to browse around. Thanks

my boy's got an exhaust shop in Van Nuys. I just recently had mine completely re-done there, 3 inch turbo back straight pipe with a single 3'' inlet dual 2.5 outlet.

[flclsteve]

Gene's is legit.

Another legit place is Morse Muffler, in Burbank - a guy Tim there does incredible welds (builds race chassis', manifolds, etc), and they have a mandrel bender for anything over 45* bends.

Bro Muffler, but it's down more in Costa Mesa.

They're an armenian shop and I think Vatche's cousin or cousin's friend works there. (Sr20detman)

they do mandrel bends? how are their prices?

[TravisSW]

Wow, raised from the dead.

Anybody know of a shop or whomever that can help me flange my cat and a straight pipe? Not asking for straight pipe to be installed, just need flange work.

Ace Muffler did a nice job on my Porsche too!

yep, they do mandrel. Prices.....kinda depends on his mood lol. I've been there and gotten some very good prices and some very expensive prices. Kinda a toss up but you want to generalize, most likely they'll be more than your standard shop.

[mau5trap]

how much do these places charge roughly around?
I'm trying to put a stock muffler tip onto my 3 in exhaust.

For this kind of work, no need for mandrel, just find a shop that does clean welds. price per weld is usually 20-40 depending where you go


Mandrel comes more into play when you're doing a full exhaust system. I have 3" mandrel pipe from the turbo all the way out to the muffler.

I also live in long beach before and I agree with you that there is a good car mufflers (http://www.racepages.com/auto/exhaust_emissions/car_muffler.html) shop there. I also checked their exhaust systems and I'm quite surprised because they are all made of good quality.

I'm no expert but I've been told that to bend 3" pipe costs more
some places don't the the right equipment to do it right

lowered car friendly?

[FORZA MILAN0]

lowered car friendly?

+1 to morse
he has drive on lifts
Although there prices are a little bit higher you wont regret...Tim does a great job

[hessianben]

Mesa Muffler on Harbor blvd in Costa Mesa. Small clean shop. Two guys run it- russ and bud. Specialize in hot rods, off road, ect... Have drive on lifts that are fairly low-friendly as well as pits.
If you are polite they will help you create whatever you want. Doesn't hurt to pay in cash either ;)

Just got my muffler installed here:

Kartek
11480 Gateway Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90064
Neighborhood: West Los Angeles
(310) 477-7475
Home Page (http://kartekauto.com/)

Kinda random location but the guy who worked on my car did an amazing job. I brought my own muffler and it was $100. Custom stainless steel brackets, amazing welds, and just the angle you want. I'll take some pics if anyone wants.

+1 for these guys if you are near the West La area. If not, it is worth the drive.
