Thanks --------------------

They are still technically not legally allowed to do it.
Really, any place that has a welder should do it for under $50.
I figure it at $10 in "parts"
and .5 hours at $80 an hour.
So, about $50...

Obv. no receipt will be given, but they should be able to do it. Just curious as to why you want that done?? Your running completely stock exhaust otherwise right? I always like getting in real good w/the 'tree hugging broads"...they think cats are a turn on! --------------------

u don't have to stop by 2day, whenever it fits into ur schedule and is nice outside, no rush on it.
i just want it out to open up the exhaust some more, possibly get 3 more HP and mostly for the sound, my cars too quiet for my taste. and he car hasn't passed emissions from day 1, remember in newburgh u following me with the exhaust fume smell
