Can anyone recommend an exhaust shop around Fairfax?
 
I posted a few weeks ago about installing a header, op, and fp and I did do all of those but I have a small exhaust leak (barely noticeable unless your hand is right next to it) between the overpipe and frontpipe. I used new gaskets everywhere, bolted everything to spec, and put loctite blue everywhere but it still happened. :iono:

It was such a pain to do the first I just don't feel like messing with it again so I want to take it somewhere and pay the 1-2 hours of labor to fix it. Any suggestions?

If you have a rough estimate of labor cost to that would be helpful. If it's going to cost an arm and a leg to unbolt the front pipe and move it around some, I might bite the bullet and do it myself again until I get it right.

Mach V or PTuning.

How much experience do they have with the twins? I know PTuning has tons but I don't know much about Mach V.

Dan at Mach V owns a BRZ. They have their own 86 parts, and they also tune 86s. I know a few guys who take their cars to them for work all of the time.

Mach V and PTuning are both good suggestions. Since you said Fairfax I'll mention that a few of us have had good experiences with the Monro Muffler right at Fairfax Circle. @SpectreRT could chime in on that.
