Default Installing exhaust in Seattle

I just recently got a IS250 AWD. I am looking for a GOOD place to install the exhaust in Seattle. Do you guys have any recommendation?

It seems like kind of a dive joint but Action Muffler in Renton does a great job for cheap and quick. Another place that does really top end work is in Ballard and it's called Kito Auto Sport(he charges A LOT). Those are a couple places that I am familiar with.

Well if you want to travel down to Bellevue AutoDynamix does a great job with installs.

One the real....Any place can put an exhaust on. Its really not that big of a deal and would be hard for anyone to 'mess up'. Find the closest place or hook up with a local member that has a couple jack-stands and an hour or two.....

Thank you guys for the comments. I am still waiting for my exhaust. It should take 2-3 weeks. I am also waiting to get a 5000 miles service done as well (approximately 500 miles left) before I'd install the exhaust. So everything should be ready in 2 weeks. I might just do it with a guy in Lynnwood.

any suggestions to get your car lowered? Doesn't seem like any of these car shops are cool unless you know someone who knows someone etc....

AutoDynamix, they do just about anything. I got my coilovers installed there and it was an amazing price and even more amazing service.

Thanks James for the installation. It sounds nice from inside and outside of the car. It is very quite on freeway and it has a nice deep tone at lower RPM. I will post the pictures up soon.
