Exhaust shop recommendations

[Daytona]

Hey - does anyone have recommendations of good exhaust shops in Auckland?

Long story short - I've had a bit of exhaust work done and the very first thing I asked the two shops I've been to is can they install a mid muffler, but both of them were unable to do it. So ended up having a Coby resonator in the center which I'm not happy with. I've seen photos online of mid mufflers installed on the H6, so it is possible.

Pitstop Grey Lynn?

The guys there generally do whatever you want. I got my Audi done there and it was too loud, took it back and got a centre muffler also.

Cheers, thanks heaps for that.

They don't deal with stainless though.

Woolf Mufflers are pretty good too, again no stainless.

Thanks for the tip about the stainless. The catback (Xforce) is stainless the the other work is mild steel.

Is your current system stainless or mild?

[Daytona]

It's a mix of mild/stainless.

The catback is stainless - but I only used half of it. I used the Xforce Y pipe and mufflers, but was given the wrong center pipe so ended up having one made. Majority of work is mild steel I'd say.

To explain it a bit better:

- Raptor headers

- Xforce 100CPSI cats (regret getting these, should have been 200 or probably higher)

- Mild steel front y pipe/collector (with two Coby 10" resonators in each branch of the Y)

- Flex pipe

- Center pipe (mild steel)

- Coby resonator (something like 18/20")

- Xforce y pipe (stainless)

- Xforce mufflers (stainless)

So the custom work is mild steel with the stainless bits being the headers, cats and rear y pipe.

What I originally wanted was a mid muffler, but I think the order in which I got the work done made that a bit difficult to do perhaps.

Saying all of this, I was dicking around with a muffler insert on the weekend and there isn't any rasp anymore. I ended up buying one of those 73mm inserts then drilled ten 9mm holes into the baffle. It's actually reduced the drone and rasp and the butt dyno says I've still got the same response with the throttle. Will check logs at some point if I can to determine if flow has been affected - if that's at all possible, I'm pretty much a newbie with using ROM Raider.

Fixed a mistake.

Yeah xforce fitment is a issue because it doesn't fit, had issues on gc downpipe hitting steering column, length cut and welding piece to make it fit with bolt on kits lol, you diffenatly get what you pay for there(FA),seeing you have mix then just go mild steal on it. FWIW Rage systems work well for price imo
