well I'll start with the bad and end on a good, BAD: don't go to discount mufflers on roan st in jc, i went there this afternoon to have my muffler welded to my header (talked to leo as jeff the owner was not there) i didnt realize i was missing a coupler? so it wasnt as easy as just welding,so he said. I asked him how much for the piece he told me 65 before labor, i asked if there was a more economical way to do it and he treated me like i was stupid then told me he could weld some pipes to make a sleeve and would only charge me 45 for jerry riging my truck, i was almost willing, I asked if he'd do it for 30 and he laughed at me so i left.
GOOD: Murphy's Muffler on Buffalo and Walnut. The man at murphys looked at my truck, I went through the same economical shpieal and he quickly stopped me and said if it was to be done there it would be done right,so i asked him how much he said coupler and labor 45 but not until tommorrow afternoon,take in mind it was about 5 till 5 at this point, i asked him if he was willing to do it today i would throw in an extra 10 explaining that this is my dd and i didnt want to risk another day and get a ticket, so he told me keep the extra money and pull it in, he did the job, did it right, and did it fast. They earned a new customer and i highly reccomend them. also got a qoute on new exhaust 120 for 2 1/2in pipe and muffler, i'll definately be going back

Is Jeff's the shop on Sullivan St.? I'm thinking that's the one, but I can never remember the name. They do great work. I went by there one day and had a bolt rounded off on my YJ. They pulled it, put it on the lift, cut it off and then wouldn't let me give them any money for it. They've definately got my business.

Yes, that's Jeff's. I've know him for years does awesome work at a good price and stands behind his work. Really good at custom stuff.

anyone know where i can get a 3" mandrel bent exhaust done for reasonable? Jeffs does it. I may be wrong but I think its mandrel. If im wrong correct me. I just woke up and got back from practise so im not thinking to straight. But I think he does and he will work with you on the price.

When did Jeff get a mandrel bender? He done my last exhaust and used a regular ole bender. But that was about 7 years ago.

I may be wrong but the one it has uses dies. Only bad thing is when he gets really tight turns it kinks. So it prolly isnt manderl. Like I said im out of it from practise.

Yeah if it kinks then it isn't a mandrel I am pretty sure.
