hi guys, any good recommendations for a cheap exhaust shop that can weld on my new mufflers? I was quoted 180$ somewhere because I would need custom piping to fix the mufflers on since they have a different offset than my current rear piping thats connected to the Y pipe. Went to Hoeglers in richmond today as well but they want 350-400 just for the job.

Have you tried muffler man? They bent me a new catback for $160 a few years back.
I went to Hoegler's a few months ago to weld in an extra muffler and it was about $100, pretty reasonable IMO.
Who quoted you $180 and why not just go to them?

Yeah, I just called muffler man, I'll have to bring the Car in for him to see first. Hoeglers today quoted me 300-400.. Just to weld in the two mufflers and custom Y pipe. The 180$ guy said he doesn't have the part available to connect the mufflers since my pipe at the back connects at an angle instead of like a wide U shape for the dual mufflers. Originally it would have been 100 just to connect if it was a direct fit. I'm searching for shops closer to south surrey/surrey area. Maybe even Bellingham can do for lower.

how much do you think it should cost? Seems like a lot of effort for $180.

realistically i think it should be under 150$ I took it into muffler man today and they said 250$ since they would need to make two dual exhaust pipes for me. Every shop has recommended something different so I am not sure what I need. I just want the two mufflers welded on and I need a custom pipe that can reach the after market mufflers. This is for 8th gen accord coupe v6 btw. I don't want anything special since I just wanted to replace the rusty oem mufflers. Need some guys to help me out here :okay: I'll try budget brake n muffler tomorrow.. so far 180$ is the cheapest route but no parts and He didnt even tell me what pipe I need

Cheapest one is $180 and he still needs pipes/bends...it'll end up costing a fair bit more.

Try Custom Metal Craft.
I cant remember exactly, but they charged around $150 to $200ish to get mine welded on.
The welds are beautiful too. Quality work, bunch of euro car guys as well so they're not hack jobbers

$3-400 is reasonable. Muffler shops are low production. They don't run on hopes and dreams, or from the satisfaction of giving you a good deal.

Also recommend MDA. Guys there know their welding stuff, can't go wrong. Needed a catless J-pipe fab'd up and my catback welded up, they did a flawless job in a timely and cost-effective manner.

Wherever you go, please post pics of what you get done and a final price.

It would be helpful to other members to see what shops do for XXX dollars
