    Default Good exhauust fab shop in Plano/Garland/Richardson area?

    So... the car is much stronger now with the addition of a high-flow cat this past weekend. Unfortunately, it's a little loud for my tastes as a street car now.

    I just ordered a 3" Flowmaster Hushpower muffler to replace the tired, 6-year old Borla that's currently on the car. I'd like to have new, mandrel bent tubing fabricated to replace the old crush bent stuff attached to the Borla.

    Any recommendations for a good, reasonably priced exhaust fab shop in the Plano/Richardson/Garland area that has 3" mandrel bent tubing in stock or has a bender? Thanks!

    I think Jonwag has a friend that can do the work for you. The last I heard, his friend was building an exhaust system for him.

    Yes, he's done some for Mr. Brg and Jeffman as well. Great work and excellent pricing. Pure ART!

    Well, so much for that. The number for Nick's mufflers is disconnected. I'll try driving by the address on the way home tonight, but I need some alternatives. Anyone know who Wags, BRG, and Jeffman used?

    Yeah, I've used them as well, but I'm not sure if they're up to complete custom fabrication.

    I talked to Wags and he gave me the name of the guy he used - Abe at Artech Fabrication in Wylie. I just got off the phone with him, and hopefully he'll be able to work things out for me.

    ARTech Intake. All aluminum, TIG Welded, with a bracket and and a bung for my IAT sensor.

    I don't have a picture of the exhaust that he made me. Jeff_man has pics of the exhaust that Abe built him.
