Question Muffler shop in Tampa

After installing my HD sway bar mounts on the Shaggin Wagon, I noticed my STi muffler has about 3/4" clearance between the mounts and the muffler can. Needless to say, everytime I hit a good bump, the muffler smacks the sway bar mounts. The STi muffler was not designed to fit a Forrester in the first place but I made it work. Now, I need to add about 2" of piping and refit the hangers.
Can anyone recommend a muffler shop locally (preferably Tampa) that can do this?

Drove by LHT yesterday and nobody was home. Probably out to lunch. I was looking for someone in the Tampa area if possible.

Is S&R in Tampa?

Had the boys at S&R modify the muffler this afternoon. Great bunch of people, some bad ass cars at the shop as well. Highly recommend.

Thanks.

I guess that was your white EVO on the side of the building? What has S&R done for you?
