exhaust recommendations / ideas / shops in the inland empire or nearby!

[NGUDE]

Hello all! my exhaust system has seen better days. after coming down square on the cats last year in the sierras, the leak was patched but it has never been the same.

has anyone done their entire exhaust from the downpipe all the way back?

i just visited a shop in redlands, ca today that would not touch the downpipe and would only make a cat-back.

the reason i would like to replace the downpipe is that i can hear a leak coming from the mani/dp somewhere.

i'm by no means an expert so please i'd love the advice! school me

@starski thanks for the reply! yes, in fact i did. that is the shop i mentioned in the OP. He said he wouldn't touch the y-pipe and said he'd only do an off the shelf cat-back...

they came highly recommended by a friend but unfortunately this experience has left me somewhat disappointed.

I dont think you will find a place to do anything pre cat on anything 73 and after....too much paperwork and fines...

if you are willing to travel, WTB muffler in vista is a great exhaust shop, ask for Frank and tell him Noah sent you. He works on cruisers all the time.....
