I've been thinking about doing an axle-back on the C6 and came across this business that would be very helpful for such a job.

Anyone use this place or know of any others like it? Apparently they are moving, I sent them an email to see when and where they expect to open up again. I'm in West Houston, pretty close to where their old shop was.

I did a search and the only similar threads I could come up with were from a place that closed a few years ago in Dallas.

I have not used their services, but was looking at them for the exact same axle-back exhaust replacement. It's just too scary having the car that high up on jack stands.
Let us know what their new location is and how it worked out for you.

Haven't heard back from them yet. Someone posted to their Facebook page asking if they were back in business two weeks ago and got no reply, I'm thinking they intended to move but ran out of capital. As much as I love the concept of their business I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't viable in the city where commercial leases are going to be very expensive. At $25 an hour, most people would sooner pay a shop that charges $100 an hour but can do the job in less than half the time, so their customer base would be limited to a pretty small group of knowledgeable DIYers who do most of their work at home but need a lift on occasion.

That said, any Houston Corvette owners have a trustworthy exhaust shop they can recommend? (Or alternatively, a lift I can use? )

There is a place on 1960/Kuykendahl called Ripley they are probably the best and offer mandrel bend custom exhaust, give them a call. <br >

I don't have a lift, but I have some jackstands that will go up two feet. It was MORE than enough to do the axleback on my car.
