PEAK PUTTERS

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if anyone has a good, inexpensive, local exhaust bender they would recommend. I would like to replace my 2" tail pipe from the muffler-back with a 2 1/4".

I was thinking of American Eagle in Pasco, but would like to know if there is any other preferred shop around here.

Look up Rhoades muffler in Pasco on 28th St. Small business, good prices, and is recommended by a couple guys at work.

He'll be re-doing the exhaust on my F one Fiddy as soon as I can get a freakin' day off!

He did the pipes on Steve's Caddy. Done good...

Thanks guys! I'll check them out tomorrow.

Is this still the place to go for some exhaust work? I got pulled over today for my cherokee exhaust and need a cheap cat back setup

As far as I know, he is still there. I am still planning on taking my Jeep there to have him finish the exhaust out the back. One of these days.

I went over there today and talked with the guy and he said for $140 he would put a muffler back on and a tail pipe. I've tried a couple different shops in town before and had bad results so hopefully this place works out.


Does $140 seem about right for a cat back setup?

Simple on yours, so, likely...

If you want cheap, there are several Cherokee's at PAW in their newer bull-pen that are unadulterated. There is also a Comanche there, and it has what looks like a brand-new exhaust on it.

My friend went to American and they ran the exhaust real close to some wires and ended up melting them on startup.

Kinda both faults. I would have checked that but besides that think he was happy with then.

I'll have to have someone run some on my Sami as it'll be 3" probably.

Dude, do the math. Why would you ever ever ever need a 3" exhaust on a 4cyl? And, why would you want a 3" exhaust on a 4cyl?

No doubt I have 3" on my ferd which is pushing 444 cubes.

I run 2 1/4 on the race truck with mandrel bends so it is very free flowing. Anything over 2 1/2" on a 4 popper is recockulous overkill.

There are tons of factors that drive what is required for exhaust. With my 2.5l, I found that 2 1/4 with several bends from my flowmaster muffler-back was a bit restrictive; hurt power everywhere. I now have it dumping straight down about 8" behind the muffler and it runs much better, and even has less noise. The longer pipe sounded really raspy at certain RPM's.

Going 3" on that engine from the muffler-back will definitely be overkill, and probably be very loud.

I went to rhoads with my truck good price and good work.

The jeep is quiet again! I just asked him to throw on a muffler and a turn down for now since I'm a broke college kid so it was about half the cost of before. I'm happy with it and the law won't be bugging me about exhaust noise again.

3" overkill for a turbo 4 banger.

I'd do 2.5" possibly.
