Good Exhaust Shop?

Anyone know of a real good exhaust shop near Frederick, Westminster
or Columbia so I can get 1-balled?

Thanks

I saw a setup they did for a Toyota Scion, and I wasn't impressed, or I would have recommended them.

If you want a 'custom exhaust' cheap, they're the people to go to.

If you're going for a 'performance mod', I'd talk to LDG first. Just my opinion.

I would imagine anyone doing a oneball wants a cheap alternative to a full catback system or true custom exhaust. Dont even know if LDG has the equipment and they will cost more $$$?

Yeah, but LDG knows Mini's and can relate to what the owner is after.

HPR is a generic tuner shop, and will hack off whatever you tell them to (the one ball is just a stock system mod, you know that right?) wether it's right or wrong.

Like I said, if you want cheap, go HPR.

If you want the mod done by someone who knows, races, and tunes Minis, go to LDG.

And if you're a penny pincher, get mod price quotes from both.

I could not agree with Wag more! LDG is awesome PERIOD. I am holding off on an exhaust for now until i see what John has up his sleeve.

Something tells me it's stainless steel and pretty slick. But then again, what do I know?
