Custom Exhaust Shop needed.

[Oreif]

Anyone know a place close to Schaumburg that does custom exhausts?

Pulled the car out tonight and have a strange rattling. Sounds like a metal ball in my right catalytic converter.
Seems I blew out so I need to get a new one (on prder) and have a shop remove the old and weld in a new one.

TIA

I talked to speed INC about a custom exhaust for my car, but I wasn't very en ticed about the pricing. Well not really very custom, but wanted manderal bent 3 inch to my stock mufflers.

I haven't been there in forever (since I've been welding my own) but Iggy's in Norridge- on Montrose just west of Cumberland used to be #1 in Chicago for custom exhausts. I had a 3inch over done there, no complaints.

On the Fiero? You have cats on it?

Yes, I use twin cats and resonator tips to quiet the exhaust. There are no mufflers on the exhaust. There isn't much room to fit a muffler with a dual exhaust set-up unless you want to cut the trunk.

Thanks, I'll check them out. I just need the the cats swapped and the welding done. I wouldn't expect the cost to be too bad. The place that built the exhaust was in Barrington but have since moved to Rockford and I don't want to drive it that far and risk the cat clogging fully.

Hey, I need some welding done. I have a hole on my exhaust pipe on the Xterra. Probably better to replace the whole thing, but don't want to spend the cash to do it lol. Can you take a look and see what you can do?

Really? How much? We are thinking of getting it done this weekend at Iggy's but the want to go over the axle with a y-pipe for $500 and $800 to do true dual. Hook it up. Please send me a PM.

They do cheap good work, but I wouldn't want them making me a custom exhaust.

No, but just cutting off a cat and welding in a new one isnt quite a custom exhaust. Its not like they are bending the entire exhaust.

 

[Sprayin]

Yes, I use twin cats and resonator tips to quiet the exhaust. There are no mufflers on the exhaust. There isn't much room to fit a muffler with a dual exhaust set-up unless you want to cut the trunk.

No cats or resonators on mine, but I used an F-body muffler and I didnt have to cut the trunk.

 

[Oreif]

The only reason I am looking for a place that does custom work is the cat itself needs to be modded and everything has to fit just right.

I haven't received the cat yet. According to UPS I should have it Tuesday.

I called Speed Inc. and they are booked for 4 weeks.

Yes I have seen the exhaust set-up on your car. (when the original owner had it.) I personally would not run the exhaust that way.

Found a shop. I'll let you guys know how it goes.
The Cat should be here sometime today. I take it in Saturday morning.

 

[Oreif]

WooHoo, It's fixed!
I went to Casey Automotive on Barrington road. Excellent work and a fair price.
If you need some work, I would recommend them.
