Can Small/Cheap Exhaust place do a good collector?
Hey all, I have a road race header for my N/A, and I will be running a collected exhaust, so I was wondering if a local exhaust shop would be able to do a good job of making the collector, or if I should just go find a racing exhaust place?
I am thinking about having http://www.exhaustspecialties.com/ do it cuz they have good quality and are cheap as hell, just not sure on this kind of work.

Damn it now I might agtually do buy one of those. But do you really think that a small shop like this could do it, or should I just get one of the collected header from RB and sell my Road Race Header?

Anyone who can cut and weld pipe can do a better job than the y joint on the stock cat-back . . . doing a collector for an uncollected header would just be a matter of making the correct cuts to the two pipes to be collected. There is nothing special about the welding required.

For now I am just going with a downpipe, and I will have burnstainless do the collector, that will go on when I get the MT and IDA manifold.
And thanks for the input 88, the part I was concearned about was the cutting/fabbing, the welding didn't bother me. And When are you going to paint my car? j/k

Man I wish I could. My integra really needs a recoat, too. Ooooo, and I could quit my job and just make bumpers and paint cars.
But I think I will stick for my civil engineer aspirations for now . . . just two more months at the mill and I get to be a full time student, making grades instead of wood products all day.
