What's up guys! My TPW is today 11/30 so I should get my car soon and I want to install a magnaflow X-pipe and do the muffler delete. Anyone know of a reputable muffler shop in San Diego. Any help would be appreciated!

If you live in the north county, Richard's Performance Exhaust in Vista (north of the 78 on Melrose drive) does great work at competitive prices.

Cool! I actually live in Eastlake which is further south, but not that bad of a drive.Thanks for the info. I'll give them a call tomorrow.

Best Muffler in Lake Elsinore hooks it up and does mandrel bend only. Call for pricing might make it worth your drive.

He does alot of sports cars and old style hot rods too.

They did my 3inch custom exhaust and I love it...

Depending on how fast you want to get your stuff done, we have a cruise scheduled for Feb 27th to BBK Performance Parts new 65,000 square foot shop in Temecula. They have a full exhaust for the Camaro and they are offering up FREE dyno time if your interested. They are putting my stuff on after Christmas.

If you want the same performance and save $$ get a custom exhaust (mandrel bend). For a bolt up exhaust you WILL pay alot more $$. Yeah the pipes are gonna be nice a shinny but they are located under your car..

Thanks for the input guys! How much less would a custom mandrel bent exhaust be from an aftermarket kit??

familycaronROIDS! · 12-04-2009, 05:38 PM

Well just an example every car is different. Most G8 2.5 cat back system are an avg. of $1300-1500+ out the door. A custom exhaust is around $800 out the door which normally includes X-pipe mufflers & tips.

You will save an avg of around $500-600 which you could get your car tuned or buy a CAI for the beast. Just a suggestion.

Cool! No one can really see under the car anyway. haha. I will probably go with a mandrel bent system from the axle back only. Should be much less. Thanks for the info. again!
