Exhaust Shops around KC - KCSR

Billy Mild · 2015-03-18, 08:39 PM

Are there any shops in KC that would be okay without putting cats on a car?

What shop is good with custom exhaust builds?

A lot of the chain exhaust/muffler shops like meineke won't touch it if it doesn't have cats or if you want to remove them. I had big o in gardner cut out some resonators and weld in some different ones for cheap and looked good. I think any of the local go fast shops will build you something, just depends on how much you want to spend.

I know of a Roses Muffler in Grandview that is good.

Would they do "custom work"? Meaning install an exhaust with no cats?

Seeburg Muffler in KCMO installed my tips for me. I talked to the guy for a while and he said they do custom exhausts all the time. I'm pretty sure they don't care about cats.

I like seeburg muffler, but I think they won't do an exhaust unless it includes CATs. I had this problem when I had my old 951. They wouldn't help me fix a test pipe off the car since it would be going on a road car.

no shop is going to tell you over the phone that they won't put cats on, considering it's illegal for them. I'd just stop by a place or two and tell them what you have and what your intentions are, try to BS with them and show that you're cool about it.

Can you buy a kit and DIY.

**Scooby24** · 2015-03-19, 10:36 AM

MKC does custom exhaust work, I'm sure.

Midtown Muffler & Brake

3030 Troost Ave Kansas City, MO 64109
(816) 931-1600

May try them, they repaired my civics exhaust and were reasonably priced (they were doing custom exhausts and things when I was in there)

That's what I would do. It'll cost quite a bit to have a shop put a whole system together for you and fab it up.

Don't have a welder. Plus this will get a little custom with the headers I have. They don't bolt up to the stock exhaust.

Tough to do without a welder and the know how to weld Stainless Steel.

you can put it together on the car, mark it and take it to someone to have it welded. I understand, as I couldn't weld it either.

We used to, but people abused them so I stopped making them available.

Sad. People always abuse good things.

Kyle Bryan k · 2015-03-30, 01:11 AM

A place on troost will install you a catless exhaust. Pm for details.

I went there again today. They didn't want to really do it. They said with how big the collector is right now that I will need a reducer and there won't be enough room to install a cat. Without a cat they can't do the work. I asked about changing the collector out on the header and they didn't want to do it.

Is there a shop that would change out the collector? Or is this something I will need to do?

Billy Mild · 2015-04-06, 09:02 PM

Bump. Any shops around here that would change the collector?
