Okay so the title gives most of it away. I"ll be needing a shop to fab up a set of headers for my GF. Now I couldn't even use the stock manifold if I wanted to so i need some headers made up. I'll also be looking for them to do the midpipes and all that too leading to a set of X02 cans I picked up. Since we're all "local" boys and girls I'd see what places people have gone too or would suggest bring it to. I'm highly interested in swinging it by Synaptis3 as they are like 2 towns over and just as many exits up 101. They go good work and wouldn't be hard to get to and from. Has anyone taken their cars there or know of some good places to consider?
MODs if there is a better place for this I'm sorry I couldn't think of which section would be best and still you know get read.:o

Northeast Performance & Exhaust in Bow. They do headers. and the guy there is really cool especially when it comes to trucks. (redneck) but he likes tuner cars that are faster than they look.

if you go to synaptic its gonna be pretty damn expensive.
there work would match the price tag though.
I would look into the one rob mentioned.

Oh, synaptic is FIVE stars. $85 an hour...do the math. First they will engineer it, then get a PE stamp, then R&D and then they will make it for you.
Seriously, you go to them when you need something done TOP notch and $ is not a worry.
I dont know other shops that make headers anymore. What vehicle is it for, im sure you can find one used or aftermarket?

Your funny Rob. 3.0 litre as in EZ30R.... in my GF.... As in mine will be the first running GF aslong as no one gets done before me.:D A few other first gens and a few second gens. Yeah I know it's gonna be pricey. I'm tempted to pick up the temp set that Slack(on NASIOC) when he gets his car back and gets a new set made. I"ll keep open till I hear back on 2 more shops form people and then go talk to them and find where they are before deciding.

I think I'm gonna get a pipe bender and welder, and go for making up a pair my self. Need at least a set of brackets CNC'd or what not. Trying ot keep my costs down as I have enough to spend on this project. You can check out my members journal over on RS25.com if you want. I figure I'll just post links to it rather than REposting on every forum I'm on.

A PE stamp isn't even necessary for a set of headers, and R&D comes before engineering o_O .
I have heard nothing but good things about Synaptic from the few I've read about that can afford it!
