Trying to locate a shop as close as possible to the Schaumburg area for the resonator and pre-muffler removal.

I went to 5 places. Two would not even touch it, two were over $100, and one wanted $200. Yet I see posts for people getting this done under $50?

So on that note, anyone got any names and numbers?

Why wouldnt any shops want to touch it? They aren't Emissions related parts. Do you have a midas or similar exhaust shop?

I would clearly point out where the cat was when explaining what I wanted done, so it wasn’t emission issues I was running into.

One shop even argued with me saying there was a flange after the pre-muffle and he would not cut flanges off.

And another shop would not do anything "custom"

heh.

The one that wanted 200 was from midas.

Another one told me there was a special "part" he would need to order..... wtf. I can only assume he didnt have a pipe bender and would just order some pre bend piping that could be picked up from autozone.

It blew out my whole day to where I couldn’t see straight and having flash backs of some crazy Russian guy try to haggle me down to 120 from 200.

I guess it was a bust, I ended up spending the extra $50 on booze and Thai food anyways! mmmmm curry....
