Can anyone recommend a reasonable place to get this done? I do not need anything performance - it's just a daily driver. I have done alot of work on my own on the Jeep just never any exhaust work. Could I save some money by doing it myself and just have someone weld it when done?

There's a [insert]terribly overpriced[/insert] muffler back system


I'd say the local muffler shop could do you good for less than $200

since you don't have to pass emissions you can just cut the cat out, hollow it , put a straight pipe through it and weld it back in .

SO when we say "any local shop" are we referring to Midas?

oh, I said that hoping some of the locals would chime in with the name of a reputable place (as I am not from raleigh)

Doing it yourself would be best, but if you dont have saw/grinder/welder/appropriate bends its not fun

Bobs muffler shop in garner is pretty damn good but i've heard a couple others are better (but cost $$$ too)
