I'm need to upgrade my exhaust from the 2 1/4' that I have to 3". I looked at some on line (truebendz, borla, magnaflow, etc) but none seem to have the center exit, which I need. Anyone know a good shop on the north side that will put on a good 3" system, from the catless downpipe back? Should I keep the resonator?

Buy just the 3" pipe from trubends and we can mod it for the center exit. Not a problem 8)

You really think so? And what about the welding the hangers to stainless? You thought that may be tough?

I like the tip, but it's only 2 1/4, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of 3" exhaust everywhere else?

And, by north side, I meant north suburbs, sorry.

Then I think you should do something alittle different. Straight 3" all the way to the rear then put a Supertrapp on 8)
