not sure how good they are on custom exhaust....but i had a bad experience with them where they did a scam on me and put me over $300 without even fixing the problem. i was going to call BBB on them
anyways just the worst place i had to deal with so far

meinkie on eagle supposely does a good job, they do the exhaust problems for GVN (Greg Vann Nissan)...one of the service advisors had his complete exhaust system (headers to tips) done in about 1 1/2 for a decent price (price unknown sorry), did the complete job quite well and in a short amount of time, totally original setup also

lol, do you realize how broad the quesion is?

Depends on what you need done? what kind of car you have? what kind of parts you want to use?

Yup, great people. Same owners operate the Meinenke on Victoria. I've been loyal to them for years. They custom fitted my WRX muffler to my Leggy for a very fair price and the workmanship is fantastic. Another member on the Toronto Subaru Club got the same thing done at that location after seeing pics of mine. He was equally satisfied.

Go there and ask for Dennis to do the work. He is the exhaust perfectionist. If what you want is a bad idea he'll be straight up with you.

I'll give you my opinion about TTM in the next few days. Just called them and have an appointment tonight.

I've already priced out what I need... so I'll see what they say.

They sound good on the phone. We know what each other are talking about anyway

Why can they only do to 2.5 inch? I don't know that much about Mandrel bending so help me out here. Are there like benders that are limited to what size they can bend or what?

two things...

some machines will only go up to x-size of tubing... while other machines might not have die setups past a certian size.

our bender is good from .500'' - 6.00'' but we've only got dies from .500''-2.75'' and I havent bought 3'' dies as I wouldnt see enough "custom exhaust" work to justify it and when I'm able to get 3'' S/S mandrel bends for $15, buying the dies is far from justifiable...
