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.

by the way, I might have a extra X pipe for sale, much cheaper than other x pipe.

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.

$@%^@#$%! $2500+ for an X-pipe!!?? That can't be right, did you mean $25.00+?

I have extra x pipe for sale if anyone is looking for one... PM me..

newguycls55

yeah they are very friendly father and son operation, never overprice anything and gave me honest opinions on things that i want to do. I am actually going there again this weekend to get all my piping redone adding x pipe. and some test exhaust.

+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!

newguycls55

was your car at Hyevon motors today? I was there and they had a few E55 and yours look familliar. By the way, what did you get done there? and how was their mod?
PM me if you prefer replying privately.
