Types of Exhaust Work We Do

Cat-Back Exhaust Systems

The most popular upgrade. A cat-back system replaces everything from the catalytic converter back — mid-pipe, muffler, and tips. Gives you a deeper, more aggressive sound plus 5-15 HP gains. Brands: Borla, MagnaFlow, Flowmaster, MBRP, Gibson.

Axle-Back Exhaust

Replaces just the muffler and tips. Easiest install, most affordable upgrade. Perfect for drivers who want a sound change without going full cat-back. Starting at $300 installed.

Muffler Delete

Removes the muffler entirely for maximum volume. Not for everyone, but popular on trucks and muscle cars. We weld a straight pipe section with proper hangers so nothing rattles. Starting at $150.

Full Custom Fabrication

Mandrel bends, stainless steel, dual conversion, true dual setups — we build from scratch. We weld stainless and aluminized steel, bend custom pipe, and build complete systems from turbo-back to axle-back.

Kansas vs Missouri Exhaust Laws

Kansas: No emissions testing. You have more freedom to modify your exhaust, including muffler deletes and cat-back systems.

Missouri: Jackson, Clay, and Platte counties require emissions testing. Catalytic converters must remain intact on MO-registered vehicles in the KC metro.
