Muffler shops that can weld tips in O.C.?

cali_guy · 03-27-2009, 01:08 AM

Hey all,

My car is coming out of the bodyshop next week with a hamann quad diffuser. I ordered a set of Cyba SS dual tips and need to get them welded on. Can anyone recommend a shop in Orange County or even Los Angeles that perform this task while retaining my butterfly flap?

Thanks in advance.

mesa muffler in costa mesa is the only place that comes to mind. not sure how close you are though..

I haven't been there myself, but was recommended to them by shoreline motoring in HB

Any muffler shop can do the job....

Tip welding? Thats pretty easy... 2 or 3 spot welds and you're done. I'd be pissed if they charge more than $10 to do it.

The procedure involves a little more then a weld here and there I believe. The tips need to be actually shifted and moved over a couple inches. I believe this involves cutting and welding. I also want to retain the butterfly valve on the exhaust.

Can you show a picture of the tip and the muffler assembly? Sometimes tips are shoved or onto the exhaust pipe coming out of the muffler. If this were the case, spot welding is the solution. The butterfly valve should be a few inches up, away from the tip area.

I've gone to Mesa and they were easy to deal with and reasonably priced. I had an X-pipe/resonator delete on my X5 4.6.
