I am pretty sure any Jonny Lunchbucket with any welding experiance can do this. I could do it, if it were summer. As I only do my welding in the Summer (for me it's a outdoor thing). But any and I stress "DECENT" muffler shop should be able to do a satisfactory job. If you can't find anyone you will have to wait till summer

My solution, simple notice how my exhaust tip sits a lil further out than most aftermarket exhaust? There is a reason why I did it this way!

my flames seem to be doing the same thing. I switched with my buddy's 180sx for a 2 mile run, an saw flames like that coming out of my exhaust...
...needless to say I was VERY pleased

Well I think I have decided to go to my muffler guy and have him make me a 5" piece somehow to make my muffler stick out far away from the car, I dont care how bad it looks, it can look as bad as my baby does now, it makes me cry looking at my bumper. I need to post pics, when I get my digital camera back. I might have the worst bumper out there, anyone want to compete, show pics!!!!
i still haven't seen any flame videos

leave some gap b/w the bumper and the exhaust. And use aluminum plate cover under it. That's what I do... no burning or anything so far... or my flame is not big enough>> 
However, i hope that helps

SLIDE a longer pipe over the one you have and hold it on with weld,screws , pop rivit. clamp, what ever. polish it first or have it chromed or buy a chrome tube. How hard can this be for all you people that work on your own cars.

PS - don't have them tailgate you. I love watching the look on people's faces in my rearview mirror when I pass them.

I don't know if it does it when you just rev but I can get it to do it by launching hard on the street and the tires break loose and the revs go up and then I shift into 2nd
Also getting traction through 1st and shifting hard/fast into 2nd will do it

correct me if im wrong but are you all running the stock twins? i heard that with a dp mp and cb will produce flames when the stock waste gate is used because it cant handle the increased amount of gas. Im probably wrong but i would like to know.
