    Reputable Exhaust Shop In South Eastern Area?

    Greetings,

    Just recently purchased a tuneboy for my triumph 675 and want to modify my stock exhaust. What I want to do is cut my stock header attach a "burns" collector then a straight pipe to replace my cat and 02 sensor. A pic is below of what I want to do besides the "low" exhaust.

    Any shops in my area Dartmouth/freetown/New Bedford that would beable to do the mock up and welding?

    Lou's Custom Exhaust & Mufflers never used them but I see decals on cars and trucks all the time.

    Don't go to Lou's. That's where I went for the race 675 earlier this year. Paid far too much and it was a really bad job. Had to cut it apart again and have it done by my local fabrication and welding guys. All we wanted was the cat cut out and a new piece put on. Lou's did a BAD job. They are GREAT with trucks though!!

    yeah, about 4 days of precious time. Tried it, it's impossible on those bikes. We cut it out and had a new piece welded in.

    Well, to expand on my last message.

    1. the cat is not near any natural joins in the pipe. You have to cuta section out anyway. At that point, why bother trying to remove the cat material? Just replace the missing piece with a new piece if stainless.

    2. I tried anyway, it killed 3 of my drills and nowhere near 1/8 of the way through before I said fuggit.

    That looks easy enough. Pretty sure I could do it no problem (especially with the collector already fabricated) but your quite a hike from me.

    I was talking to Clive about this in July... We were talking about making a jig... Did you just have them weld this on the bike to maintain proper alignment?

    no, welded off the bike after some measurements taken and scribing while the system was on the bike.
