Looking for a good Muffler shop that can weld
 
I am going to remove the shitty resonator from the Stock FP and make my own version of a UQ FP for cheaper than buying a new one. I bought a Vibrant Ultra low noise resonator based on a member who did the exact thing to help mellow out the raspyness and tinny sound when I put my new JDL EL header on and go back to stock CB(tired of my old UEL+Aftermarket CB) So if you know a place that can do things well and cleanly for a reasonable price LMK. Prefer to stay in the OC/Riverside Area.

Roger's exhaust shop, in Fontana. Well known. Made custom downpipes and dumps for my friend's twin turbo 370z. Had them delete my resonator and repair my downpipe on my WRX. Repaired my cracked turbo manifold on my FRS. Check out their website, they have pictures on their IG as well.

Thanks for the tip. Shop did a good job welding my resonator into the stock front pipe and while I had it on the lift they put on my new JDL Header. Good welds and the guys were fantastic to deal with.

How much did they charge?

200$ total. They also had to cut out the flange of the mid pipe that the FP connects to so they can make good clearance for the new resonator so it was not hanging to low. They also while on the lift cleaned off the carbon build up on the remaining vband slip joints from the mxp sp CB exhaust and added some rvt and slipped the mid pipe back to create a better seal. Was having to much water vapor leaking out. Could have done the header and exhaust but it's a pita without a lift. So the welding was about 80$ and header install was 100$ and the exhaust fix was about 20$.
