Anyone know of any good tuning shops you trust in the Houston/Austin/Dallas areas to build custom exhausts? Given the exhaust options are limited for the GSF, I thought about picking up some borla or indivia mufflers for the RCF and having them custom fitted...

Hey Justin, you won't need a tuning shop to build a custom exhaust. Any exhaust shop should be able to do the work just fine. I'm actually replacing my ARH catback back to my Borla catback so i'll be going to a shop for a reducer and welding the Borla back on.

Though I am not from Huston, I am surprised by your exclusion of the ISF

Hey Lou,

It was intentional. Travis created a thread for ISF over on the ISF forums. We have collaborated and done car cruises and other car meets. I'm good friends with most of the ISF owners there.

I was going to sell my Borla originally when I got the full ARH headers and catback, however I think it would sound even better pairing Borla with ARH headers.
Therefore I'm selling my ARH catback... I got a buyer already but if it falls through, i'll let you know if you're interested.

Makes sense and appreciate the offer but I’m really just looking at the Borla and Invidia right now.

I wouldn't get the Invidia. Way too quiet unless that's what you're going for. Borla sounds amazing. Hit me up one of these days and you get to hear all the different setup that we have. We have members with Apexi, Borla, Invidia, ARH, and Meisterschaft.

Our first Houston F meet last year was a success! We had over 10+ cars as we traveled down to Galveston. around 4 RCF/GSF and a bunch of ISFs.
We are looking to hopefully have more this Saturday as we do a cruise to Sam Houston National Park! This includes few twisty turns which should make for a fun drive!

We have 12 F's confirmed this time (with SC RCF coming along as well) + 2 high powered Mustangs (joining in). Should be loads of fun!
If interested, PM me.

Thanks!

Correct, it's Magnaflow, "axle back" even though it connects a little deeper under the car. From about the middle, there are a couple flanges, so from there to the rear tips.

You guys need to get headers to make the car complete. PPE's are the way to go.

I'm running American Racing Headers with custom mid-section and Borla axleback. There's two with Sikky headers, three with PPE headers. Houston F member's are almost all FBOs.
