looking at doing some exhaust mods on my 1990 SC. i am looking for a place in Vancouver. Can anyone recommend a good shop. i've heard some good things
about Muffler-Tech in PoCo and Hoeglers in Richmond. One day i would like to make some serious hp so would like to go to a 2-1/2 to 3 to 2-1/2 system with
Cats removed and headers. what resonator or mufflers would sound good with this system. thanks for any recommendations

Hey buddy, I went to hoeglers and got them to bend up 2.5-3-2.5 exhaust and was pleased with the the result. I supplied my down tubes from my headers and a magnaflow
resonator and they did the rest cost me about 550ish. The only problem I had was how they made the exhaust exit..I don't care for the look but some do, I
think I should have been more clear as to what I wanted. They provide good service and the guy there said he has done a couple sc so I assume he would be
getting better at it. I will be going back to hoeglers for anymore of my exhaust work.

Awesome information Andrew. headers sound good. what kind do you have? are they long or short? coated or non-coated. i like those Kooks on the SCP site.
I was also thinking about installing the headers myself in fact i have the car up on stands now and could do it easily my issue is I live in PG and would have
a noisy ride to Van with open headers. Definitely going with the Magnaflow (do you have a part #) and have heard good things about the Borlas. i looked into
using a Borla muffler as the resonator they are about an 1" thinner which helps if your car is lowered as mine is. you will have to send me a pic of what
you don't like about your install. Hoeglers works for me also as i have family in Richmond. thanks again for the info. as soon as i figure out how to
post a pic i will post my car. cheers Max

I have the kooks mid length coated. I got my resonator from scp, http//supercoupeperformance.com/partBrowser.aspx?partId=151
this one. Altho I think I got it for 89$, my car lowered 1.5 and I haven't had too many issues with the magnaflow, occasional scrape but it can be avoided
if your paying attention, but you can see it under the car which I don't like.
As far as driving your car from PG to Richmond with open headers...I cant see that happening. I drove my car down my lane with open headers and anything above 2500rpm is intolerable, It's WAY too loud...if you were to try it, throw some ear plugs in and hope no cops hear you. I also have the same problem with not being able to figure out how to post pic's, I would like to see your car so shoot it to me on email and I will send you my exhaust dislikes. Andrew I PM'd u my email. let me know if you get it. |

My suggestion for going to get your exhaust bent, would also be bring CASH. Most of the time if you talk to the guy and he says that he has had several
sc's here before, and you tell him you had a couple friends come to here from recommendation, bla bla bla. . . Then usually it works out no tax, or you can
even bargain down. It works for me most of the times.
Good luck. -M 
OH STOP STARING !
