    Sounds like you've been out of the sport for a few decades.

    The one time I built an import car I took it to an exhaust shop with the very explicit instruction to just build the exhaust, with no tip of any kind. I just wanted the same size pipe after the muffler. Those dipshits down at Bud's Muffler built the exhaust as a one piece from the header to the bumper, and put a 5" tip on it. I was so pissed. It was the only exterior mod I had on the entire car (unless you count the battery shut off I installed in the back glass).

    sorry to hear that buds muffler was family friends always took care of us never had a problem with them. But everyone has a different experience with with different shops. I know all the people in Denver from back in the day hell even mad cap (dave copriottie) bailed my ass out once when I ran the super chevy show. They put the parts I needed in a screen door so I could pick it up after hours many memories of the days. I can tell you this we never had fart cans and we ran real shit. I didnt by any means have the fastest car but in the street racing world I was in the mix. I could have sprayed it but never did fuck it was all I could do to keep it hooked up as it was.

    Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE said that Bud's Muffler was the place to go. People had all kinds of race car exhausts built from them and they had the best reputation. I think I sent my car down there at a time when they were getting too popular and quality went way down. The O2 bung was over an inch tall of chicken shit welds like the gas was turned off. It was incredible. I was just a kid though so nothing ever came out of it. I don't think they actually got paid for that work though.

    Like I said dont know what happened buds was the shit never did anybody wrong that I know of to each their own. My advice go fined a better fart can installer that might not be their specialty. on a side note want to see some real shit and i bet most wont have a clue about this BB chevy valve train. Its a roller motor and the spring pressure is 700 lbs per sq inch at full lift its a nasty bitch. For those that dont know your stock motor is probably 180 lbs at full lift. stock valve lift is around 350 to 400 this bitch is 730 almost 3/4 of an inch. Hence the stud girdle and arp studs. The valve train is all isky the cam father new his shit. except the stud girdle thats moroso.
