Title: Flowmaster, Magnaflow, Borla...
Post by: Infantry H2 on March 06, 2014, 09:23:03 AM
Best place on Oahu to get an exhaust system for my Yukon XL? Hopefully not an arm and a leg...

     Just had my Flowmaster changed out on my 02 Tundra @ Exhaust Systems Hawaii in Kailua.
Also have shops in Honolulu and Waipahu

They have all that you mentioned.
Straight pipe back, Flowmaster and tail pipe was around $400
I believe it was 5 yrs on the FlowMaster, 2 yrs on the pipes and life on the welding.

+1 for esh. although ive only been to the moiliili location but they are pretty legit. ive probably been there 10 times over the years, always good service and fast. better to call ahead for appointments even though its usually quick to weld up flowmasters.

Moiliili does a good job, got the flow master but kept the stock tip for $180... This was a few years back....

is there a bolt on kit for your car?
i really prefer bolt ons instead of welding.
what if you dont like it, or want to change it later.
much easier to swap a bolt on than a weld on.


another option is DJ's motorsports.  ask for Donald.

Problem with bolt ons is that they are vehicle specific due to different pipe sizes
Custom (FlowMaster, borla etc..) pipes are not  "fitted" so that adapters (reducer/ enlarger) can be used and welded to almost any vehicle.

I just prefer a bolt on over welding.
cleaner look, better performance. 
but to each his own.   :shaka:

Just an FYI a friend ordered his Stainless Cat back for his Camaro with Amazon Prime :P I had no idea Amazon would have exhaust parts.
