Lookin' for a custom midpipe for my 88' Lude... I don't wanna spend mad money on it... although having a stainless mandrel bent pipe would be nice.. (but too heavy maybe)

I got a Tanabe Racing Medallion Muffler, piping is 60mm, that's approx 2 1/4" ??

Need advice on what would be the best option to go with material wise, and also was considering a high flow cat as well...

so if anyone know's of a really good place in the GTA that can make this midpipe for me that would be great... approx pricing if you can would be awsome as well.

Plus there work is shoddy, I have seen it. Personally I would go to zoro exhaust on dundas, I just got a quote from them to do a complete stainless exhaust for my car from the down pipe back encluding new cat and muffler and I was quoted only 700 bucks with a lifetime warranty, whereas JPG wanted 900 without lifetine warranty. My family has gone to Zoro muffler for over 10 years and have never had a single problem with any of the cars they did.

stay away from JPG...they may "just praise god" but even he couldnt help them with their crappy work, I went there in a bind to get a section fixed and it was HORRIBLE...took it to another shop down the street and they asked who did the initial fix and when I told them they said that was my first problem, taking it to them

Trans-Canada Muffler and Brakes in Oakville is a very good place, they fixed me up nicely and had me on my way

Ditto, good work, good people. One time my dad went in with a muffler problem, they looked at it, saw it needed one weld and did it for free in 10 minutes.

okay, when they welded up the new piece of exhaust they put strain on the hangers and in turn the hangers gave way and the exhaust system began to hit my shifter...then it became so bad that I couldnt shift gears without forcing it over the exhaust that was in the way...the whole exhaust system was pushed back atleat 2" which also caused the tip to stick way out the back of the bumper....that was just my car, next they set my friends trunk on fire and didnt wanna take the blame for it and tried to play it off like nothing happened, even though the entire trunk liner was melted along with the taillight wiring harness...for bible thumpers thats a pretty shady move if u ask me...not until my shop called their shop did they owe up to it and then offer to pay for the damages (it took more convincing than shoulda been necessary)...3rd strike, while backing another friends car out of the shop they hit a pole, didnt say anything and when confronted about it denied that they did it even though they were seen hitting the pole...thus, JPG Exhaust can lick my left nut and suck on the right one

hope that clears some things up for ya
