Default Good/cheap place to get a SS exhaust fabbed up for my old mans expedition?

Any suggestions of a exahust shop that can fab up something for a 98 expedition.

He has a mild steel exhaust, and the resonator rusted out after like 3 years.

Any help or suggestions would b greatly appreciated.

Rent a chop saw and a mig welder, buy some exhaust tubing from some place online and build it yourself. It'll take less than a day and you'll save a lot of money. I did my first exhaust in about 4 hours from the downpipe back.

I know a guy that does his own fab work. It's really out of this world quality.

Switchback is great, but I have been satisfied with the magnaflow axle back that whiteys automotive did for me. Fair prices, bring the mufflers and he will do the piping.

I have dealt with both and don't think you could go wrong. Switchback would probably do a better fit and finish job but might run you a little more.

Whiteys (Quentin sp..) made a flange and piped about 2.5ft to a magnaflow for like $150 for me. I had to pay for my own muffler.. which was like $180.

Might be a cheaper option to try and find a bolt on kit, but then again I doubt you would have the complex routing that you have on imports.
