Good muffler shop in chicago western burbs?
 
Looking for a shop that will cut the tips off my Mazdaspeed exhaust and weld on new stainless steel tips (non-Mazdaspeed tips). I've got quite a bit of surface rust on the tips of this exhaust.

Thanks!

I have rust on the tips of my borla as well...sucks, doesn't it.

Yeah, I would probably just try to ignore it, but with the parade coming up, if I can get new tips welded on for a reasonable price, I might just go ahead and do it.

I found these tips online last night that are supposed to resist discoloration. Haven't measured yet to see if they fit, but if they do the price seems fairly reasonable.

I've got some polish that works pretty good - don't remember the name of it - the polish is light blue - but the spots around the tips (which I just started seeing more this winter) appear to be rust spots - I'll certainly try a different polish tho

No, it's actual rust this time.

I was just reading some threads on a caddy forum after doing some searching. Sounds like some of them have had good luck with a "00" steel wool and window cleaner. Might give that a try, at least on a small spot. The neverdull doesn't do anything for this stuff.

amstarvid 04-28-2008 09:31 PM

let me know if that works...

lilring 04-28-2008 10:33 PM

well if that stuff doesnt work i know of a place in rockford that will do it. they will do just about anything with exhaust..
