Default Where should I get my exhaust welded?

I'm buying a piping kit and a vibrant flat black muffler. I'm trying to decide where I should go to have it welded together and put on the car. Anyone have any suggestions? I want someone who will know enough to make sure the piping doesn't sag too much or sit too high.

jb weld will break down over time under high temps. most exhaust shops can do it for you, heck if your worried about how it will look just ask before its finished up if you can see exactly how its going to look and if they will work with out

if you decide not to have it welded you can use exhaust clamps/exhausts tap and such and put it together yourself without welding (maybe jb to get everything in place)

it may be a bit of a drive, but theres an excellent shop in plant city called huffs mufflers, and they do tons of performance systems, custom exhausts, repairs, welds, etc etc.
There work is top notch, and in the many cars ive owned, ive had exhaust work done to at least 4 of them, and have never ha one issue with anything.

Call some of the shops in the shop forum. There are many shops in there that can do that job.

Call Will Bodley at Bodley Racing and Fabrication. He can build headers from scratch and is the best welder in the business. He's at:
1920 Sherwood Street
Clearwater, FL 33765
(727) 446-1210

Tell him I sent you, he'll treat you right.

After welding, either spray paint with VHT (buy at any speed shop) or have them ceramic coated (American Powder Coating in Tampa)
