    Anyone have any good shops. I would like to keep it within the metro area. I am in north st paul/maplewood area.


    My wife's camry has about 212,xxx miles on it and this week was the first time I have taken the car out for a while. I noticed there must be an exhaust leak by the block somewhere. When I would floor it (or accelerate) the cab of the car would fill up with exhaust. I am looking for my cheapest option for a shop with maybe the option to weld the leak or custom pipe work. We are planning on dumping the car next spring so cheap fix is the theme i would like to stick with.

    my sisters car was doing the same thing, (V6 camry)

    the cheapest thing to do is find a new header on ebay, $100-200
    (look under the car to see if that's the problem)
    it's hard to weld rust together.

    Yeah I haven't had any time to look at the car (dead in the family last week). I will check it out tonight. When I was thinking welding I was more thinking about if I needed some new pipes or a muffler. I will have to look at the header tonight or tomorrow. My fear is trying to take the bolts off of the header and not snapping them all!
