Good Exhaust shop in Orange County?

Can anyone recommend a good exhaust shop in Orange County, CA? I work next to Brabus so considered going to the little shop next to them, but wanted to check opinions first. Evosport quoted me something like $2500+ for an X-Pipe, which seems a bit insane to me, I just want to do the resonator delete on my CLS..

How much did you guys pay for the resonator removal??

Josh is extremely knowledgeable and a really nice guy to boot. Cost me $60.00 to delete the resonator.

I went to one of the shop in santa ana area, and honestly if you are looking to get your resonator delete, you can go to any exhaust shop, and $60 is average.

I got my car done at Ace Muffler Shop in Westminster. (714) 892-1328
is a great father and son shop. real good people.

I second Ace Muffler Shop. I took your advice and went there on Saturday for the resonator delete and they had me in and out in about 40 minutes at $60. Very friendly people there.

+3 for Ace Muffler

I had them patch up my exhaust after some new hardware from Hyevon Motors down the street. They did an awesome job and their staff was very friendly and courteous!
