If you want the muffler shop story read below, otherwise skip to the pictures of the final product!

So some of you may have read in my first thread that I went to Alert Mufflers to get my custom exhaust done. Well, there was a bend that looked funny so I really poked my head under there and examined it and the whole job was horrible...crappy ugly welds and even worse bends. The whole exhaust was a few inches lower than my stock one and I came really close to scraping on even small speedbumps...

Anyway, I took it back to the shop and the guy who did it (Mark) was a complete A-hole (can we swear here?) and threw a tissy fit when we even mentioned that something looked funny, so we went to LT muffler and brake to have them fix it and they did a very clean job and were really great guys.

So...if you want some exhaust done I would suggest LT muffler and if you do check out Alert, avoid that guy Mark (if he's still there). Sorry for the novel, here's the pics (3" Lachute DP with HFC to custom 3" to 2.25" at the "Y" ending in 2 Magnaflow mufflers and 4" round tips)... a guy at legacygt.com did a quick vid with sound clips, mine sounds similar, check it out here:
