Hansons is certainly one of the best, but lately have been a bit pricey.

Yes Ed is good, one thing tho they only deal with smog legal cars i.e. no long tube headers and must have cats. Also Express Muffler in Santee are great too. Goodluck

Hanson did my cut outs and didn't have a problem with my LG headers. Call him. He does great work.

Ed did exhaust on both my vettes...I was very pleased...he really knows his stuff....I don't think his prices are out of line considering his quality and reputation with performance car owners...

Valley Muffler in Santee, talk with Brian, he's a Hot Rod guy that drives a blown 29 Roadster and builds headers, there right behind Mulvany's steak house at Magnoila and Mission Gorg Rd.

Well, I base my comment on prices on their quote for installing a simple Cat-back in my C5 - $120! Thankfully, I got a hand from jmzvet & friends, so it cost me nothing.

Hanson's did install a complete 2.5-inch exhaust for my 68, many year ago.
