Default NOVA mechanic needed

Hello,

I recently failed my state inspection due to a leaking exhaust gasket (aftermarket). I am attempting to get this issue resolved quickly and was wondering exactly where to take my car in the NOVA area (preferably in the Woodbridge/ Dumfries area). Since it is an aftermarket part do I need to order it or will certain shops carry it? The specific exhaust system is the Skunk2 catback but it looks like the gasket is similar for most of the aftermarket exhausts. I'd do it myself but do not have access to a lift unfortunately. Any assistance would be appreciated.

You can call Inline Pro in Springfield. They specialize in S2000s.

Any muffler shop should be able to fix that. Inline will be expensive to take it to for a fix like that. Try maybe Midas?

Full disclosure: I stopped going to Inline Pro due to poor service and unprofessional demeanor.

I'd say go to Midas or something before Inline Pro.

If Midas can't fix it then call PTuning.

I'm no help, but I wouldn't let Midas wash my dog much less work on my car.....

Sorry I haven't been on here in a while. I ended up taking it to Midas and they slapped a gasket on it in like an hour. Thanks for the replys.
