I am looking for a good exhaust shop in the Trenton New Jersey or Morrisville Pennsylvania area(I live on the border). I got my turbo 1.6 with a Passenger three inch SS downpipe ready to go in my 86 Golf, but I need a three or two and half inch system.
I stop at a Midas shop and told them I wanted a three inch system. They started to tell me what they wanted to do and how a large exhaust sytem would not work for me. Not going there! (A bunch of punk ass kids).
Seems to me these local franchise shops just want to sell extra parts and labor. I just want a well made custom system.

I'm not anywhere near you so can't give you any specific recommendations, but some general ideas. I found that Meineke was the only chain shop that would actually follow my requests on custom exhausts. Around here there are a couple of guys who do custom stainless exhausts who are good to deal with and usually are not much more expensive than the chain shops. A friend of mine operates a custom mobile exhaust operation focused on highway tractors and he deals with 3" or even larger exhaust all the time. If you could find someone similar locally that might be an option.
