good muffler / exhaust shop in NYC area?

Folks,

so I've been having this idea that will involve bending cutting and welding pieces of my x5 muffler; I have checked the review on the local shops, but 1 star on yel/google was a max;
do you know any good shop that would do custom work on muffler/exhaust ?

thanks,
chris

Check out "American Muffler" in Westbury, NY (Near Roosevelt Field Mall). They do a lot of work on BMW's and I did my custom quad exhuast on my E60 a few years back.

That's where I got my axle-back done. They're pretty good.

I've heard only good things about them, I pass by the shop there frequently (Since I live in Huntington) but I've never had to use them. What kind of work are you looking to get done?

They are the best around. They've done everyone I know exhausts. I've personally had my E55 AMG, my E60 M5, and my X5 exhausts done there.

Now if your talking about a full header back system then maybe a performacne shop like TKX would be better but for custom work and anything header back I would go to american muffler. They are cheap and do great work.

Call ahead for an appointment in either case.
