I would suggest fair muffler in lagrange but that is just as far of drive.
Good luck let us know what you find up there[/b]
Well, I decided that to get a good exhaust, go to someone that others recommend. Others said to go to Fair Muffler in lagrange, so I went there this past saturday..... Not a good experience. I will make a more thourough post later with pics of before and after, but in case this post comes up in a search for exhaust places, I would note that I do not recommend them, and should of just done James Dean again.
When I got there, I was informed that the exhaust I had - 2 SS magnaflow mufflers I got for a great price from
http://hottexhaust.com/ had to be replaced because when James Dean installed them, he cut the necks real short. I should have packed up my stuff then and went to James Dean to show him what he did and see what he could do. MJ sold me on a cherry bomb because he did not have the other brands in the right size in stock. In all it turns out that due to the cost of steel, and him selling me a muffler at 2 times the cost I could buy it anywhere online, I paid a HEFTY price...... I am doing a second vehicle, my 93 GMC Jimmy, nothing special, but this time up north by me. Then I will get a better idea of what another shop sells exhaust product for.... I may just be sour cause I would of liked to use that money to get a tv or vacation to cancun....
Moral of the story - buy all your parts so you do not have to pay a crazy cost for product at the shop, and plan your system.....
As far as the exhausts I have had -
Flowmasters F40 - good tough sound, LOTS of drone, took it on a trip to florida, and it is difficult to hear the other people in the car, and to listen to music, you had to turn it up loud. Would not buy again.
Magnaflows SS - I was impressed with them. Not too loud, but you could hear them in the cabin, was not raspy at all, mellow tone. I would deffinately buy again.
Cherry Bomb - So far they are not bad, at WOT they seem to have a little raspiness, but I am going to have someone else drive it so I can hear it from the outside. I am hoping it does not sound like those fart can cars.... that is just the worst..... So hopefuplly I can do a full report on everything once I get new pics of the exhaust and a good listen to what I have.........
