SoCal IE muffler shop needed (Fontana, RC, Ontario)

There's a bunch of you guys out here in the IE with Goats.

I've got an H-pipe...need a shop to cut the mids, remove the resonator, and weld in the H-pipe for a reasonable price. Don't want to do a sawsall job and clamp it on the mids...

I've been quoted from $75-100...seems like a lot.

Been a long time since I've had exhaust work done on a vehicle. All you Muffler Dudes...if $75 is about right, chime in. I've read posts where guys have had H-pipes fabbed and installed for $125 though...

If you've got a reference to a decent shop that'll do it for less, let me know.

Anticipating the responses... Yes, LTs or shorties (gotta love the CARB) and hi-flow catted mids are in the future. H-pipe and a tune will have to satisfy this burning mod itch I've got, until I can get the wife the new G35C that we put on hold to let me get the Goat.

Thanks in advance...

Done. $35...

Thanks GTO6. Just how you described em.

Very satisfied. Good work. Good people. Will go back soon and get two Magnaflows installed for $275.

Ernie mentioned a guy in the area with a stock GTO with Magnaflows that I could listen to...would that be you?! 4" dia or the 6" dia muffs? When can I hear it bro? Want to hear how much louder they are than stock...

"Ernie" at "The Muffler Doctor" in Montclair (just east of Central on Holt). Highly recommended for IE Goat owners looking for a good shop with fair prices...

For those wondering...with A4 and stock exhaust: H-pipe at idle...smoother, more gurgle, little louder outside. On street, hard accel...quieter inside, definitely louder and throatier outside. On freeway...less/no noise inside car. All exhaust noise comes from the rear.

WOT on onramp at Central to 10W on way back to work from shop = Major SEG.

Now, time to start reviewing headers, catted mids and a tune...

GTO6...just pm'd you. Give me a call. Want to hear your car in person if possible. You're probably within five miles of me...

Thanks
