    Custom one-piece 3" catback w/ Magnaflow muffler (originally made by TSTRBOY I think...)

    Some guy (censoring myself for the forum here...) rear-ended me today and then had the bright idea to drive away so I couldn't get his info.

    Anyway, the upshot is that the catback section of my exhaust is bent and the muffler tip is pressed up into the bumper a little.

    Is there anyone on here close to St. Paul that can bend it back for me? I'd like to get this done quick so I can take it into the body shop for the bumper.

    Sure. It's probably too dark out now, but I can try to get to that tomorrow.

    As far as I can see, it's just the portion that's normally bent that must have been twisted a little or something, 'cause it's bent a little more than normal and it's hanging down an inch or so more in the middle of the car.

    Last time I was down there it seemed like he was sort of closing up shop for a bit because of school and keeping busy with family, but I might have read that wrong.

    Also kinda hoping to find someone closer than Jordan, MN.

    Otherwise, yeah he's the first guy I thought of.

    Closer than Jordan but not extremely close to St. Paul is Muffler Clinic in SLP just west of Lake Calhoun about 2 miles. Steve does quality work for fair price.

    PM'd him and we're meeting tomorrow at Dunwoody.

    Thanks for the heads up! I'll meet with TSTRBOY first and see what happens.
