Cantrells as well. Or another is Dundon in Gig Harbor. They built a amazing custom exhaust for me

@shmelvin thanks man, i made an apt with Top Gun in Sumner, guy said they do a lot of them and quoted me 75 to 150 per side, not bad from what i have seen even if on the upper end of the spectrum. What did Erik charge if you don't mine, its a lot closer then Sumner!

Here is another thing to consider....One of the rennlisters actually gutted his cans and liked the sound even better with no drone. In addition it significantly reduced the weight in rear. I know Cantrell does this for sure.

Should start a thread of where "not to go". Top Gun Muffler in Sumner is a total joke! Neil (may be the owner) is a babbling idiot. Don't be fooled over the phone, he sounded very confident so I made the appointment. But, after waking up very early on my day off and spending 1.5hrs in heavy traffic one way he acted like he didn't know who I was when I showed up and said he didn't have me on his calendar but then acted like he was going to do me this huge favor and work on my car. Over the phone he quoted me 1.5hrs for the job (ya, i should have been suspicious) but then told me it will take all day. In the end, after he got my car on the lift he started bitching and moaning and said he can't do it today and to come back sunday and he will again do me this huge favor and come in on his day off. This is all after he told me how tired he was working 7 days a week, got into an argument with some meth head who worked in his shop, told me he will have to leave soon to sign some "important papers" and that he then had to go to "wake his wife up" (whateverthe**** that means).

So ya, avoid Top Gun Muffler in Sumner at all cost! This is a PSA for anyone googling this too! (I found his name on the web when I googled "gundo mod seattle").

Ummmm, this is an option?? It sounds too good to be true; I'm assuming there must be a significant drone. Do you have a link to the thread?

Having had a few exhausts on my 996s, I think your money is best spent on a set of Fabspeed cans.

You are right @Capt., sounds great but a little quiet. On the other hand, the guys at Dans fast muffler in Bellevue are top notch as far as, well, everything. Highly recommend them!
