good muffler shop in SoCal?
 

Hey there folks, i went ahead and ordered an exhaust system from Aaron at Beluga Racing and wanted to find a place to install it. i have no equipment whatsoever nor do i plan on doing it myself. I went around to a local muffler guy near me and he gave me a price of 120 dollars even after i told him how easy of an install it would be, im currently in the burbank area so any suggestion not too far would be appreciated Thank you!.

120 sounds around the ball park, I just came back from Fantasy Muffler in fullerton to get my exhaust retighten, the owner and worker were both very nice and they fixed my exhaust rattles free! Maybe you can try there. They are on the corner of Western and Auto Center Drive. Use google to find their info.

IIRC, I paid $100 for another shop to install my exhaust.

Burbank is a bit out of the way so im sure some members in that area can help direct you to a good shop.

$100-$120 for a bolt on exhaust to be put on?? Come on now...spend 45 mins under the car get some grease on those hands and save yourself some money. Spend $50 bucks on a set of ratchets and be able to say you put on your own exhaust. Just my opinion don't wanna sound like a d*** or anything if it seems like it.

you are right.. its just I have no device to lift my car and or any spacers

Yea true. Forgot all about getting the car in the air. Im still new to cars and stuff so I only know how to do a few things but I personally like saying "yea I put it on myself". Just that personal satisfaction and bonding time you get with your baby lol

i just don't want to Fk it up lol

You wouldn't fk it up lol exhaust are so easy to hang lol as long as you can use a wrench and get it in the hangers your golden. Plus there's plenty of how tos out there. But I totally understand not wanting to fk it up and be screwed whereas a shop messes up and they pay for the fix

1hr later :D

And that is how it's done! Haha looks good bro. Wish ARK sold just an axle back so I could afford it :(

nice, atleast you have stands lol.. do it for me ill pay you [=

Got my exhaust used for $570

Dang that's a steal! I'm looking at the Top Speed Track Spec Dual Performance CBE but I can't find that many reviews on it so idk if it's worth getting. Looking for a cheaper priced loud catback under 1G or just a louder axle back under 1G.

you can do AAM Short tails, top speed pro 1 catback exhaust and or the beluga racing :ughdance:

It looks like the Beluga is the same as one of the Top Speed CBE. Which top speed would be louder, the pro 1 or the track spec true dual?

the topspeed pro1 is loud and a bit too much for my taste go watch a vid the gains are pretty awesome too. i bought the beluga because i wanted something louder then stock but not TOO loud.

pull the trigger bro! If you want to do this yourself it really isn't that hard to do. All you need is this.

Low Profile Floor Jack - 2 Ton, Rapid Pump® Jack

6 Ton Jack Stand Set x's 2

182-Piece Mechanics' Tool Set with 3-Drawer Chest: Convenient At Sears

this in turn will also be a investment for diy oil changes, brake pad changes, trans and differential oil changes.

I have A LOT more tools than that with a huge box but that is because I diy just about everything on my car except the dyno tune and the hfc install. Just a idea for ya. Good luck with the modding....

Do it yourself
Or
I've been to Morse muffler off Burbank blvd next to the five and cosco
They are good

Im taking mine to Specialty Z (chatsworth) next month for
exhaust and CAI installation. I was gonna give a try myself but like you said, i dont want to **** it up lol. Rather leave it to the pros for proper fitment.

Without proper equipment on lifting the car... fear of car falling down just comes into place.
