Now that Franks' is no more, where do I go for custom exhaust
I have a 1992 Full Size blazer with a dual custom exhaust that must have been installed by the previouls owner, thing is, it was regular steel or aluminized steel and its resembeling a cheese grader right about now. I want to cut out the current system, buy a new stainless steel cat and mufflers and bring it to someone around here to have them bend up two stainless steel pipes and hang them for me. Problem is i dont want to bend over and take it to have this done. Anyone do good work in Bergen county area who isnt too pricy? I have heard there is a place on Franklin Tpk in the ramsey/mahwah area. I have also heard the Midas on 17north in Ramsey will do custom work too. Any suggestions?

yeah, i'll be there around 9am saturday getting an estimate for a stainless dual for my blazer. If you happen to see my truck out there say hi if you like im always down with meeting peps on the site, did you happen to see the blue 3rd gen camaro for sale on North central in Ramsey near the Mac Arther / 17 interchange, by that home heating oil place, its been there for a while, i wonder what he wants for it, it looks clean, maybe its a 6cyl $1000 maybe??? i may go look at it afterwards

I will keep that in mind, however A/C aint exactly next door ya know, it would cost me $100 in gas and $1000 in gambeling, lunch and strippers in A/C while I wait for it to be fabricated
I do wonder if I could get a quote on-line with this info though, i dont know how well the PDF I drew up comes out but if you can see it, im sure someone could formulate me a quote off of it.
If you can open the PDF you will see the truck currently has a custom welded Y-pipe after the cat going to 2 mufflers which i can immagine is expensive to make that y-pipe, my proposed way uses a single in dual outtlet stainless muffler....

I ordered my mufflex ORY online and when I got it a few of the pieces I had to take to meineke to have stretched out a little bigger to make them the slip fit they were suppose to be.
