I decided to have my new exhaust created from scratch, does anyone know of any shops close to Chicago that do Mini exhaust fabrication? Thanks

 

Shouldn't *any* exhaust shop be able to fab up what you want? I overpaid for my pipe and still ended up only about $75 into mine. See here for details.

 

I tried asking a few shops close to me, but they don't bend pipe anymore :(

 

In that case, you'll need

one of these: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...&keyword=49048

One or 2 of these (depending on how you want it run): http://pitstopusa.com/i-22955462-dyn...-16-gauge.html

Obviously then you'll need to choose your desired mufflers and tips.

Doing it this way, the chosen shop will simply have a few more stitch welds to accomplish.

You might also call around to local high schools to see if they have an auto shop class that does exhaust work. As an added bonus, typically they do the work for just the cost of materials.

FYI, if you can weld, you can do your whole exhaust in 2.25" aluminized for about $66 + the cost of whatever muffler(s) you choose.

 

Thanks I will look into it

 

Best of luck. I'd volunteer, but surely you can find a professional within 3 hours of Chi-town.... I'd think at least.

 

I am speaking with someone from Midwest Performance Cars, I think I will just need to do an aftermarket exhaust. Oh well should still be good
