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.Quote:

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

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

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.

S.
I have taken three different cars over to Pronto in the past 20 years, and they have always dealt fairly in the past.
They are a great company to work with and have done work for me for the past 15 years.
Umm... Rotary Performance did some work on my '7 back in the day. I wasn't too impressed.Quote:

I've done business with Joe's Muffler in Addison for a loooong time. He does great work, and he's very reasonable - easily the best place I've found.
