Can someone recommend an East side muffler shop?

So… I’d like to cut the rusty exhaust tip off of the RX-8 and replace it with something a little prettier. If I was still back in the Mid-Cities, I’d go to Kinney’s Muffler, but I’m not. Is there somewhere comparable over here on the east side that could help me out?

Yes. Wholeheartedly. Just north of 15th street on the northbound 75 service road. They have a nice selection of tips. Nice bunch of guys.

See??? I TOLD you they had a name. They've been unwilling to accept $$$ from me for the weld & exhaust hanger I've acquired from them, so they're not in my check register.

I need to get a new exhaust hanger. So are they CB approved?

Your mileage may vary, but they sure have been so far...

Knowing Altiain I'm thinking more like this! ::Clown::

I'm feeling the cathead tip. :mrgreen:

Adam, maybe something like that, but my '8 has a Borla can and only a rightside tip (dual exhausts on a rotary engine still make me giggle :roll: ). I'll probably get something single walled and just cut instead of rolled, however, as I'd like it to blue up nicely from the exhaust heat.

A big, beefy, blued turndown would look nice, but I guess the RX-8 bumper doesn't really work with turndowns.

Ohh... no worries about it getting too hot and melting the bumper :confused: I don't know how the hangers are situated, but it might be a problem as they wear (if they're anything like the ones on the Miata).

Sounds like too small a job for the boys at Rotary Performance?

I have taken three different cars over to Pronto in the past 20 years, and they have always dealt fairly in the past.
