Looking for Shop or person to do exhaust mod In MI

I know its not a hard job, and a lot of muffler shops can do it. I also know there is shops in MI that work on BMW, but idk if they have done the mod before.

i simply want someone who has done it before and not going to mess up my brand new m3 i am about to get this week.

So I am willing to pay a good rate along with providing a pizza for anyone who can help, other wise shop.

Axle back? X pipe? Test pipes? Depending on what you're looking for its going to depend. If it's just a swap job I'd go anywhere reputable. If it's test pipes or something like that I'd take a little more time making that decision.

Sorry very new to this car and the terms. I thought exhuast mod was for the most part going inside the OEM mufflers and straight piping them.

but ya just looking to do that. Looks like i am going to have to take a trip down to Chicago, and while there just swing by VS motorsports.

I got mine done at Steve's European Automotive

http://www.steveseuropeanauto.com

They've got pretty good customer service and did an excellent job. However, he did mine for around $550 (6 hour job for them), not the usual $200-300 I've been seeing on this forum.

Motorwerks in Commerce Township, MI can probably do it too. But I don't know if they've done it before and they are pricey. They do good work tho.

You'll get a chance to hear it when you see my rims.

I'm a hobbyist. I have a couple of friends with E92s who wanted this mod, so those are the cars I've worked on. What are you looking to have done?

I am sure not your skills or resources at hand. please feel free to tell me its little to much for you!

Looking to do a 2nd cat gutting. You have take off the mid section of exhaust, and simply gut the cat material inside to free up some sound. then do some welding, and bolt exhaust back up. Pictures in link

heres what it is

I'm definitely capable of doing a quality job on this. Let me take a look under my buddy's M3 when I'm installing his modded exhaust to get an idea of exactly what's involved. That will happen in the next couple of weeks.
