Reliable exhaust shops in the LA area...

Anyone recommend any good shops to install aftermarket exhausts? No time/space/equipment on my end so I gotta outsource...

I've driven past that a few times going home trying to dodge traffic at the 10/605 junction and they always seem to be pretty busy.

I was at Mike's Muffler a while ago and he took his time on my exhaust. Took him almost 2 hours to get it done as he is very picky as I was as well. I would recommend him as well. Make sure to call in about the appointment as he is very flexible on that. It's good if you tip his installer as they did a great job on my.

Mike is a popular man. There's a reason why he's busy. You get to see a lot of classics being worked on there. I remember when I got my mufflers removed they were working on a boosted mustang.

The waiting room has a small TV and some old magazines.

Months after he installed my tips I came back to get them realigned(didn't pay attention to the alignment as much as the sound when I went the first time) and he did it for free. Awesome place, as he tries to give you the best deals with quality work.

He will also give you his opinions which is great because he has worked on A LOT of cars.

What kind of exhaust work are you looking to get? Sounds like Mike is the man. I might have to stop by and check him out soon too.

The dude can make you a full exhaust if you wanted it. Ask for an appointment if it's gonna be something like that though.

+1 for mike's mufflers. been there many times back when I had my '03 TL-S and my current car (LS400). i've also brought many buddies over there too and have watched their work. on my current car, they did my custom exhaust which was a true dual exhaust (2.25 in. piping from the cat back).. they also raised it as high as they could so i could get as much clearance underneath the car. quality work, reputable shop, best prices in town... can't go wrong!
