Default Denver area shop for exhaust work

I am looking to add a new exhaust to my 04.
Seems like lots of good deals from the forum vendors on the most common brands, but I am leaning towards the Corsa.
So I was planning to buy mail order.
But then I need someone to install them here in Denver.
I am on the south side of town.
Any recommendations for a shop would be very helpful.
I hate the thought of going to the Chevy dealer.

Thanks.

So, you want to buy a steak from the grocery store and then go to a steak restaurant and have them cook it for you?

I just want a good steak.
Do you know a good steak house?

I appreciate your point of view.

I was thinking it was more like hiring a plumber to install a sears dishwasher.

So, where can I get a corsa exhaust and have it installed in the Denver area?

Corvette Connection may be able to help you out. Their labor rates are on the high side but just adding a cat-back should'nt be to bad. I don't know anyone who really sells Corsa's in town. Jason

My personal opinion is to avoid Corvette Connection at all cost, they do good work but prices are very high. I took my Vette there right after I bought it and they quoted me $1200 for a cat back system. I ended up going to Exhaust Pro's on 114th & Huron and as I asked them if they did Vette systems they replied that they did all the exhaust's for Corvette Connection and they only charged me $600 for the cat back and X pipe.

What if he is a vegetarian?

I didn't want to cut my stock ones, and without a lift didn't have a choice. Purifoy put mine on and charged me I think it was $90

Bud's Muffler does good work and works on all types of cars. I have seen Ferrarris and Porsches there getting worked on. They got a web site at www.budsmuffler.com .

I can also recommend Mike Myers with Dreamworks Performance. He knows his stuff and is a joy to talk to. I would try and avoid Corvette's Only. They quoted me $2,000 to fix an intake manifold leak. Mike fixed it for $600.

Hey! CorvetteMusic, in case you haven't noticed, I'm calling you on your B.S.! If you are going to flagrantly lie to detour local customers from my store, you have better have one hell of an explanation!

Sorry, just telling the truth. I don't appreciate being called a liar or being ripped off. I have brought my car to your shop for a ton of work over the last five years, but telling me my coolant leak would run $2,000 to fix when Mike fixed it for $600 says it all. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice? Ain't gonna happen.
