I was very disappointing with dealing with them.

Anyone have a different experience?

I had good luck emailing with them a couple years ago about turbo setups.

Hey, I need some info.

My car is close to running with the new motor but I won't have time to get a muffler installed here at school. Is there a place to get one installed in the chicagoland area that will look past the fact that I don't and will not have a Cat?

I would think the only problem they would have is in the removal of the cat. If you removed it, they shouldn't have a problem putting on a muffler after the spot where the cat should be.

OK cool, The cat is already off but in MI they are required to put a Cat on if a car comes in without one. I figured in MI, as long as I know the right person an Andrew Jackson should suffice but I might have to bring my car home non-running.

Specially with the weather and my workspace being out in the cold.

Every snow we have had so far, the government agencies have had some excuse for not getting the plowing done. I bottomed out a couple of times this morning with the 8. Only about 1/4 of the people are at work today. I guess it will be slowwwww work day for Al.

Yeah... the only bonus for making it into work today is that I have nothing to do, since half the office decided to not drive in.

Hopefully the ice isnt too bad later on... the snow didnt seem too bad this morning though

You know whats fun. When one of the SUVs start tailgating you, turn off DSC momentarily and hit the gas. You pepper their front with road crap.
