As always...

Auto Check

Ask for Mike and tell him you're a friend-ish of Rob and Cat's.

As far as welding, I don't believe he has the equipment for that. I have gone to like Meineke or Midas to have little holes plugged and whatnot, but when I got the exhaust on the SE-R it was at some place Bohanon recommended waaaaaaaaaaaay up in BFE. I can call Mike in the morning and ask if you want - I need a good excuse to call him anyway, I haven't talked to him in like 2 weeks!

I have a catback with a donut flange on it, I want that cut off and replaced with a 3inch flat flange and a cut out. So basically need a cut out welded to a flange and then welded to the catback.

if your looking for a good exhaust welder, i have used mikes muffler on i-10 and kirkwood, north side of feeder.
they did some custom exhaust work for me, and it was excellent.

yes... mike's been my mechanic going on 6 years now... he is honest and will give you good prices... there are quite a few people on the boards that have used him due to our recommendations... like MissDanz said, just tell him Cat and Rob sent you... he'll do you right... You should get out of there for under 1/2 of what the dealer charges...
