Default Exhaust Fabrication Shop in Bay Area

Hi Bay Area,

I was wondering if anybody had any experience with exhaust fabrication shops in the bay area. I'm trying to get an idea on what a custom Ti exhaust would cost. Just saw LHT fab one for a customer and it made me curious.

Thanks!

you're probably better off buying a Ti exhaust off the shelf. ti pipes are really expensive right now, your welds likely won't be as good, your fitment won't be as good and the hours of labor to fab the exhaust will probably cost more than you want to spend. you could probably get the J's for the same cost.

Unless you put stickers on the car no one will know you have a titanium exhaust. Jewelry not seen is jewelry wasted.

Seriously? If you don't have anything useful to contribute to conversations stop posting. It's getting really old seeing your name on every single post with some useless irrelevant comment.

Like with MANDREL bends and all?

There is a guy named PETE from "QUIET HORSEPOWER" can probably yelp the name and find it. I considered contacting him for a custom exhaust. If you do so let me know what pricing, gauge of metal pipes, size of pipes, etc. you went with. I bought a off the shelf cat back before I was able to contact him.

Could be also a good idea to buy mandrel pipe kits with your own mufflers and bring it to a shop.

This is my next idea...

Interesting idea. One of the reasons I went with a Fujisubo Power Getter was that it's a single with 2 resonators - light and quiet.

These guys did some work on my old car 20 years ago and the work was top rate. I've seen some cars that they have done in the past 5 to 6 years and the work is still second to none.

OP if you check out the place Rrounds mentioned let us know some details.

Could be the only mandrel bender left in all of Norcal.
