Has anyone done business with G&S motorsports in marietta. I went into their shop to get an estimate done for a catback system and window tinting (they have jack-of-all-trades plaza of shops)

They gave me a good estimate, IMO, for a catback.

$450+tax for 2.5 in stainless steel with two 4 in exhaust tips.

They also quoted $200 flat for a lifetime guaranteed 35% all round tint.

In your guys' opinion do these quotes sound fair? Have any of you dealt with G&S?

What is the cat-back? (brand)
Tint seems cheap. Again, what's the brand/type?

The catback would be custom welded. They lifted my car and examined the piping to see what kind of work they would be doing. Based on that they gave me the quote.

The tint is by a company called sun shade. It isn't 3m or stuff like that. The guy that did the tinting had another car there with the tint on and it looked sick. Really well done. He gave me a brochure for the tint, I'll find that and give an update later when I get home.

The tint guy also quoted about $150-$180 I think to do a black gloss vinyl on the roof but I'm not sure the better half will let me do that.

This is the website to their muffler division. http://gandsmuffler.com/

They have a bunch of shops. Transmission, suspension, muffler and more.

Forgot to mention the catback would be magnaflow piping.

I'm literally right by the Cobb Galleria, across the street in the business park.

As for your muffler, it depends on what you want, are you looking for proven gains, or just to change the sound. I'm sure anything less restrictive should provide 'some' gains, but it'll be impossible to tell upfront unless they've already done other customs on our cars.

I'm just looking for something less restrictive and to fill out the massive gap the stock tips leave. and for something less expensive than the pre-built systems online.

Doesn't look like anyone has had any experience with them. Hopefully they turn out to be a good shop.

Where is this being held? I'll be coming into town from Memphis with a friend getting a gtr tuned at forged performance and would like to checkout the Atlanta scene.
An address would be helpful.
