Any mom and pop exhaust shops in Pinellas?

Like the title says, is there any mom and pop type exhaust shops in mid pinellas (palm harbor, dunedin, clearwater) type area? I'm picking up my new car tomorrow and want to get the rear resonators removed. Thanks.

Rainbow exhaust in Clearwater does some good work for a decent price...

Also, with a turbo vehicle, would I lose backpressure/performance by removing the rear set of cat's or resonators?

+1 on Rainbow. Have had very good experiences with them.

With Turbo you want free flowing exhaust, cats or resonators its best to go straight pipe from the turbo. It will not be loud like a NA car because the turbo will silence it.

Rainbow muffler, my friend took his car to the one in St. Pete and he really liked the service he received.

They tried ripping me off when they saw I look like I'm a kid and made up some bullshit names for the resonator and cat and wanted to charge me 200 just to rehang the catback and tack weld my cat heat shield... when I called the day before and they said 80 I was like wtf bye

yea rainbow is Good iv brought my car there once & was happy.

& ya on a turbo car the less back pressure the more power it will produce.
with removing cats & resonators you should feel a diff.

It will still be loud. Just not as ear splitting loud.

Rainbow muffler was gonna be my suggestion lol i've taken both my other cars there and i'll probably end up bringing mine there for some custom work eventually. Best prices around

i highly doubt this. what you told them on the phone and what you actually needed were most likely two different things.

No actually, just talked to two different guys and that's what they told me. I told them both the exact same thing.
