Rad Motorsports Fabrication?

Has anyone had any custom exhaust done at Rad's before?
I've read horror stories of stuff from 2004, but i know they have been through new ownership and management since then. I've used ESH before, but that weighed a ton for a race pipe. Any help on this would be appreciated...... thanks!

New owner? No the same guy owns it. I've heard bad stuff, but my dad has been going to him for years. Never had a personal bad experience yet.

They built my "dummy" exhaust to meet importation emission standards. I had a great experience. I gave my usual ridiculous requests and they were able to meet them. If you want more information about my experience, PM or call me. Long story short = I would definitely recommend them.

They did my midpipe. Nice job but when they made the exhaust hangar they welded it on while on the car and melted my Kartboy exhaust mount. Ok prices though, cost about the same as a Stromung pipe would have.

I had my custom 3 inch catless exhaust from the down pipe done there like 2 years ago. They did a pretty decent job on it. i still have the mid pipe and axle back sitting outside my house now. (i had it made so i could swap axle backs) let me know if your interested in it.
