there are no doubts hitech are one of the best in the business.
livo exhaust can be a rip.
all i can say is the price they quote to redo an axle back with new cannon was 20$ less than the price i paid for cat back piping, flanges, hangers, redback resonator (2 yrs ago not at livo exhaust).
some of their work is good. but many stories of their welding much to be desired.
ive seen these guys make other stuff like intake pipes out of 'mild' steel and still charge 2 ballsacks for it.
only aluminium or stainless.
dont go liverpool exhaust unless there is a good reason to.
i do intakes for many cars
this is one example of my work
solid as rock, secured held behind bumper with proper brackets.
try ask liverpool exhaust to do that. as simple as it may look i guess $400.
costs $250 to custom make this one stainless steel with genuine k&n pod filter.
those guys would source or just mandrel bend the stainless themselves and the rest would cost them nothing.
ballbreaker, maybe so.
ive heard good words abouts westside mufflers where jdmyard is.
i need to redo my exhaust due to adjustable swaybar issues so ill pay them a visit.
i mean if you can get same or better welding work and good service for a better price why not.
