Need exhaust welder ASAP (Montco PA)

Anyone know a good exhaust welder in Montco PA? I'm by West Norriton. I need two resonaters welded in and an exhaust hanger stud replaced. A few internet searches are only bringing up Meineke and that junk.

R/T tuning in Montgomeryville does custom work. I've used Evolution Performance in Aston as well

I ended up with Boccella's Automotive and Performance, inc. in Gilbertsville, nobody else could get me in quick enough oh well, if this works out I'll have another for the list, even though it's a bit of a trek.

Looking at their page I'd say you're in good hands.

I have a feeling it's going to be a little pricey though lol. They refused to give any ballpark number over the phone.

yikes....Shouldn't be a lot but They probably have been burned before by people under claiming what they want done or something. I'd take it in and have them check it out and give a quote

not sure how close this is to you but:

Morrissey's Auto Repair | Exhaust Repair | Flex Pipes | Cherry Hill, NJ

FABSPEED MOTORSPORT | High Performance Exhaust Systems, Intakes and ECU Tuning Upgrades for Exotic Sports Cars

That's about it....lot of Meineke joints...

So I got the pipes welded in. No issues, nice welds. Since it was up on a lift I had them throw my rotors and pads on the rear so I didn't have to mess with it when I got home.. WOW. I was there for 2.5 hours and was charged $535 to weld both resonators in and install the brakes that I provided in the rear. Is it just me or does that seem really steep?

Was that the Bocella's place??? That seems extremely high. They associated with the dealership?? I just got a $700 quote for a custom mandrel bent cat back system in stainless steel....

That's them! No dealer, place was literally in the middle of nowhere. It sounds great but Jesus Christ. Looking at the invoice they charged $150 to install the pads and rotors I provided. That's what killed it I think. It was $300 for the welding and then the rest was parts. (Spare tubes) still kinda high. Get this I just left PSI Proformance in Lansdale. They quoted me $600 to install swift springs WTF? Edited to clarify that I already have the springs. That's the install quote

three more places gave me $500+ quote on spring install. this is getting ridiculous. At that price I'm going air compressor shopping.
