Local Muffler Shops

Anyone have a good word for a Modesto-area muffler shop? Or have a good word about KB Muffler?

Never been to KB Muffler, but know a few people who have went there, and didnt really have problems.

I used to go to Royal Muffler off of Maze and HWY 99 downtown

Ya'll got me thinking...

Hell, I was surprised at their verbal quote on the cat-back with a Borla Hush. I've had way more expensive hobbies, lol. With the house and all, that's cut back on my fun-money spending binges but I'm already thinking about an AP2 after this...

i love ap but some people swear by opensource. as far as the catback, honestly if you buy a nice quiet muffler you like, you can get a catback mocked up at a muffler shop for cheap! just spray the pipe black

I do have some reservations with the AP, mostly because I'm a dedicated Macintosh user and their application seems to be all PC based. I figured I'd start with the CB and see what happens from there.

The AP is worth the money, especially with a new car. Subaru can't detect the installation of the AP or any reflashes you do too

Detected reflash = warrenty claim denial

Btw, HKS Hi-power is what all the cool kids have.

So, what's the difference sound wise (mostly internal cabin sound) between the Borla and the HKS?

Ya, the forums will be the only way they can really say that u have a reflash. Unless they pull the checksums off of your ecu then somehow compare them to an exact date/model/year ecu and blah, but they don't. Subaru knows they can't detect the AP

I've only had the HKS, and Evo2 catbacks. Maybe someone w/ the Borla can chime in?

Any aftermarket exhaust that makes your car louder than stock is illegal. Right?
