Bucks is pretty legit. I know Speedware does exhaust, but I bet they'll charge you up the ***.

I had Dan Fast in Bellevue install an exhaust for me on a previous car, that involved some custom welding and custom piping. They did good work.

that's where i took it after work and got it done for $75 otd. quality looks good too but haven't had a chance to crawl under the car. only qualm i have with them is that on the invoice they wrote that i own a suburu impreza rs, so i don't know how that works out if i ever have to go back for warranty work...

thanks everyone for your input!

Stan's Headers is the most expensive place in the NW.. The good thing is that they are one of the only shops that does mandrel bending..

I went to Sumner's Topgun muffler and brake shop.. The best thing about them is that they will do the job till you feel satisfied. . . They don't do mandrel bends, but they do cut and weld already mandrel bent pieces' The owner works on custom 4x4 rock crawler trucks mostly.. I believe he wants to broaden his market to imports. . so he treats imports really good' prices are decent'

Stan's is well known for their work.. I called multiple shops before getting my work done and they all know Stans for being the most expensive... The good thing is that Stan's been doing it the longest in the NW.. If I ever make a full custom system, I will go to Stans

Good thread. I want to add a Magnaflow resonated X pipe and a new magnaflow muffer to my borla. If I can't make it a slip fit, I'll have to get it welded. I don't want to mess with changing up my wire and gas to weld SS.

Can Dan Fast weld 304 SS? I assume he can as most of you guys are probably on SS exhausts anyway.
