+1 for Dave's welding! I had him attempt to fix something that couldn't be fixed. He dropped what he was doing that night and gave it a shot! Good guy indeed!

You can take it to any muffler shop...I want to say that they would do it for $50 if its just welding it to stock mid pipe...I may be off though.

Instead of starting a new thread.. I just bought a new muffler, and I need to get the res deleted, a Y pipe welded on and extended to the new muffler. Any suggestions for a place that does good work especially welding. I am in Hopkinton but I'll drive to get this done right the first time. Also, anyone run into any problems during an inspection after doing something like this?

way off topic but is your car silver? I see a silver E92 almost daily on 135 in Hopkinton on my way home from work.

I called Lou's in Waltham and they gave me an estimate of about ~$300 over the phone.. Seems a bit high for just the install. I also have been speaking to dave96dcm over PM, but he's a little hard to reach. Anyone have his phone number?

Really? Just to weld a muffler onto your existing mid pipe? I am wondering if they are quoting you on a full replacement.

I had my Remus muffler installed at Unique Custom Exhaust in Burlington. They did a great job quickly, and the price was right. Anthony is a great guy.

I started by saying I already had the muffler. Then, I said cut off res, weld Y pipe, extend to muffler?? Hopefully dave can get back to me soon so I can set something up.

Thanks, I checked out his site and I may be interested in getting some stereo work done there.. If anyone has any experience with that?

Burlington is a little far for me, 40 miles but I'll keep him in mind for future work.

I'll PM you Dave's number... he helped me install my headers on my M3... Def the man to talk to. Dave doesnt have a computer at home so he's tough to get in touch with via comp

Had my Rogue Ikon welded at Lou's in Peabody, Ma.
Good job if you want yours MIG welded. TIG will give a much cleaner look, they don't use TIG on their exhaust welds.
20$ for the muffler to be welded to my pipe.

When were you there? I probably missed you, I ended up driving down late (around 5) and stuck around for a while...

I ordered some elbows and stuff, I'll let you know when it comes in, I was thinking though, just from past experiences, I think it would be a good idea to do just the muffler and see how you like it, cause if I delete resonators at the same time and it is too loud it is a pita to put them back on.
