Default Texas exhaust shops???

OK, does anyone know of an exhaust shop somewhere down in Texas that can build me a custom Y pipe from the manifolds to the cat?

I'd like to start from scratch and bring my own high flow cat and my own muffler and have someone that does good quality work (you know, welds that won't leak!) rebuild my exhaust using 2.5 inch pipe, or at least 2.5 from the manifolds to the cat (I guess we could use 2.75 after the cat)

Problem I'm running in to with locals shops where I', at is... my truck has a pre-cat before the cat and I don't want that on there. Earlier model trucks like the one I have did not come with a pre-cat, so I don't see what the big deal is, since it's still going to meet emissions standards.

At any rate, they won't do it. So, if anyone knows of a good exhaust shop willing to do a job like this I'll pay their full retail pricing and if they do a very neat, good looking job... I'll throw in a nice cash tip!

If you know anybody, let me know and I'll take a road trip to go see 'em!

Texas is a big place... Might want to narrow that down some Orange to El Paso is only 1/3 of the total length of I-10

I know, it's a big place but it's not a problem to go on a road trip.

I haven't been on one in a while, so I'm ready!

Not sure on how much you want to spend but there is Ripley's in nw houston that dose custom mandrel bent exhaust. A trick to get cat work done is to traler the truck to the shop, or find some one willing to take cash.

No ****! Everytime I leave El Paso heading back east I see this sign, Beamont 900 miles! It's damn near 1000 miles across from El Paso to the Louisiana state line!

I know a few shops in El Paso that'll do whatever you need done! No questions asked! I haven't had cats on my truck for two years and 5% tint all the way around.... Cost me an extra $25 a year for my passed emissions certificate!
