Exhaust Repair-Front Range Area Recommendations-'97 LC

[masperk]

Hello
I am looking some recommendations for exhaust shops or independent fabricator to build me an exhaust system from the Y-pipe to the tail pipe.
My Y-pipe is starting to leak.

Would it make more sense to just buy the magnuson or OEM Toyota Y-pipe w/cat and have the rest fabricated?

I have already replaced the manifold gaskets and new O2's
Looking to keep it as OEM routed as possible with new rubber isolators on the existing exhaust hanger locations.
Want to run new cats and muffler.
Denver Area or within and hour or so drive.

Thank you

Thank you

Here are a few recommendations from a couple of recent threads; maybe something in there that works for you:

I give up. Recommend an exhaust shop on the North end like Boulder/ Longmont?

I can not get this exhaust back together. I have a new y pipe and cat and I had a shop weld in some flex connects (charged me $220 to weld in two flex pipes. Won’t be going back to romeros muffler) and I still can’t get this stupid thing to bolt up. I give up. Gonna have to take it to someone. I...

Exhaust shop that isn't AA Muffler?

So my son's 4runner has a broken bolt I think on the exhaust manifold... Has a nice tiktiktik exhaust leak and a cel for new cats... But I was able to reset the code and it passed emissions fine. AA Muffler says the leak is probably introducing air there and causing the code. Only issue is he...

Wasn't super thrilled with House of Mufflers and Brakes, FYI.

Scotty and his crew will fix you up. He just repaired the Y pipe on my 80.

My understanding is the Magnuson Y pipe will break your heart over time.
Best to buy the OEM unit. I'm saving my nickels for a new one.

The owner of this shop - BDM- did a fantastic job on my entire exhaust and muffler at a good price this summer. I highly recommend him. He had his guy redo it to get it right based on my concerns with my departure angles coming of rocks in on hard trails on in places like MOAB. He is off 6th Ave near Lakewood.

AA just did a muffler on my 100 last week. Same great service as usual.

I second this recommendation. I have been hearing a funky exhaust noise on the right side of my 80 near the down pipes after October Moab run. I finally had an opportunity to take my truck down to BDM, no appointment needed, just dropped it off and they were able to diagnose it as two leaking gaskets. I also asked them to replace the resonator so they chopped off the old one and welded on a new one all in the same day. No more funky noises. Price was decent too.
