I picked up a Sportec exhaust that's in almost new condition. However it is missing the cats and associated pipes. Does anyone know a good exhaust shop I could go to and get this completed?

 

Call Mandrel Bending Solutions in Pasadena, Md. Look them up on the net.

 

I heard you mention them before Ken, but I couldn't remember the name. Thanks.

 

A lot of guys swear by benchmade proper, just another option for you to consider!

 

Here's the info... Make sure you speak with Greg. Check with Scott for another reference. They did the exhaust on his M Coupe.

+1 for Greg at Mandrel Bends. Three custom exhausts to date. Most likely doing the Cobra with him in the Spring, too.

 

Greg at MBS. I've known him for a few years and he's done some patching up on my exhaust. Real cool guy, does a lot of corner working and HPDE's at Summit Point with NASA and really knows his stuff when it comes to exhaust work. I'd never go to anyone else.

 

deckman: I've had work done by mandrelbend as well on my past sc300 and my friend that owns a shop in Gambrills work outweighs them by far. Feel free to give him a call as well: http://freedengineering.com/

MBS at the time mig welded my past exhaust on my sc3, where FE tig welds everything & is very **** about the quality.

Ask for Ben, tell him you were referred by Val.

 

I have heard good things about MBS... but when I called and asked them about removal of resonators on my CL600 and simply replacing it with 2 peices of pipe (an hour long job at most) they wanted $150/side!!!... WHAT!?!... that's to make 4 cuts with a saw and 4 welds...

 

Just looked on the MBS website their work looks impressive...the benchmade proper guys look like they do good work also and use tig welding...

 

Gunther asked how I like my new exhaust, I thought I'd post here also.

I just picked the car up. Crappy day out there so I couldn't push it, but it sounds great! 3" piping all around, cross flow design, 100 cell race cats, two small mufflers. They used the existing tips and open them up to 3". I was worried about drone, but so far there isn't any as far as I can tell. Benchmade Proper in Elkridge. Let me know if you want to hear it sometime.

Good guys over there.

Added pics

 

Sounds good. I've spoken with bench made proper before, seem like good guys who have been doing exhausts for a while. Do you have any pics? if not can you take some...would like to see what they put together for ya..

 

Added a couple pics above

 

The exhaust looks great...I was talking to them about doing a setup for me for the 2 for a bit, never materialized...they do great work though ....love the pie cuts nicely tig welded up there!
