Custom Exhaust Shops

You didn't say where you are but I've had GREAT custom work on several different vehicles done at Ken's in Longmont. Good prices and boy, can they ever weld pretty joints.

FWIW, because of federal and state emission laws, if your vehicle originally came manufactured with ONE catalytic and a single exhaust, it might be hard to find any shop that'll put true duals on it (during the day- heh). I couldn't find any shops that woud put true duals on my F-250, even though it's registered as an emission exempt farm truck. A single 3" low restriction cat and muffler worked OK, though, we measured the back pressure by temporarily installing a pressure guage in one of the oxy sensor bungs and it's very, very low. I'm not worried about losing any performance.
