Resonator delete: WA area

i was just wondering if anyone knows any shops in the bellingham or seattle WA area that i can go to get this done. i always hear it should cost under 100 dollars but ive been getting quotes of 200 to 400 dollars. some shops dont even want to to touch the car.
thanks

I've been shopping around for this too. Seems like $100 per resonator. I'll let you know if I find something better.

I got my resonator delete done at CarNutz Customz in Bellevue, they did an excellent job and stand behind their work. I had them also install an x-pipe in its place. I am very happy with the sound.

And I kept my stock resonator just in case I wish to put it back.

I am sure you can get it done cheaper elsewhere, but I wanted a trustworthy shop touching my car.

I got mine done with some other mods. I believe the price will differ based on whether or not you go with an x-pipe. I recommend you give Jim or Joel a call as they are both very knowledgeable and experienced with MBs. If you stop by their shop you may also get to see the V12 Evolution CL600 up close, as it is amazing in person.

i gave them a call and was quoted around 200 for straight pipes and 250 for xpipes. based on what ive seen on this board its just a simple cut and weld and should cost well under 100. i cant seem to find any places to get it done at that price in my area. i fell like they charge me way over what it should because of the car i pull up in
