    Exhaust Shops in Houston??

    Does anyone know of a good exhaust shop in Houston or that works at one or owns one???

    I want to get my exhaust wrapped up and want a place that will take the time and listen to what I want and do the job right.

    Would like mandel bent cause I hate how when they bent it normally it puts kinks in the pipe.

    Good luck finding a muffler shop that has a mandrel bender. Those things are way more expensive than a standard bender and you won't find many, if any, shops that have one. If you want mandrel bends you'll have to buy some bends and take them to the shop to be welded in as-needed.

    I did find a shop that does mandrel bends but will only do it in stainless steel for like $900

    The guy gave me this song and dance about how it will take 15-20 hrs labor to do my trk.

    I hung up the phone....

    Well someone I know would do a 2.5 inch stainless exhaust but am having a hard time working our schedules out.

    If I do it Im going to run 3inch aluminized and some round 14 inch Magnaflows with Xpipe.
    Looking at Spintechs Pro Super Street also.

    Im going for loud.....

    Maybe try a place that makes custom offroad rigs. There is a place in Hutto called J&K Customs.


    Jason is really good at bending pipe!!!! I'm sure someone around you is good at pipe bending besides exhaust shop.....

    Well I decided to run 3 inch aluminized and just buy mandel bends that I need and piece it together myself.
    Going with 4 inch round by 14 inch long Magnaflows.
