In SJ area try Babes & Lightning Muffler shop (408) 294-8092 & talk to Kurt...he's the owner and he worked on my CL before when I had my Tanabe's *sigh* installed....

When I did exhaust work I probably would have quoted you 105. 70 on a good day.

Before I started doing my own work I went to Johnny Franklin's mufflers in San Rafael. They did very good work. I don't know any place in SF. I worked at a shop in Davis

Our prices were pretty much 70/muffler but because the car would already be in the air I'd half the install price for the second one.

Good shops can make very good looking mig welds. TIG is a little more expensive because it uses a different gas and more expensive metal.

Davis Muffler did MIG and TIG when I was there. 2bennet auto in Daivs also does welding but only on Audi's.
