I need to get a new muffler welded in place, and I'm debating between two places. Boris referred me to Golden Auto Muffler in the city and one of my friends referred me to Johnny Franklin's Muffler Shop in San Rafael.

Has anyone heard of either of these places (especially Johnny Franklin's) and can you please give me a yea or nay on whether I should go to either one?

Thanks!

been going to golden for almost 7 years now never had any problem with them always great service, they do alot of work for free for me now lol. most of thier welders speak cantonese so bring someone to ping pang with them

thanks for the info Kris. any idea how much it'd cost for them to weld a new muffler in place? Boris quoted me ~$75-$125 but my friend says Franklin's will do it for $30.

just a muffler? no piping or anything

nah, just take off my stock muffler, cut off part of the new one and weld it in place.

45 bucks

What muffler did you get Nate?

lol...you just accidentally called me...I could hear you mashin the pedal and listening to music

muffler: won't tell you yet, you'll see when it's installed!

shiite, i totally did just call you, haha!!

You Norcal G'ers and your secret mods lol

hmmm weld on muffler... blitz? it better not be some obxr crap

+1 on Golden Auto. I have never used them personally but 4 of my co-workers have and so have many of my customers. All have been happy with quality of work and reasonable price.

Do you really want to drive to San Rafael when you can get the same thing done so much closer to home?

Nah, it just runs in the family. Boris & I like to keep a lid on things

I don't have problem driving to San Rafael if the work is that phenomenal - which my friend swears it is. Supposedly all that shop does all day is weld & bend exhausts.

Blitz? obxr?

what other brand makes just mufflers to weld on? fyi welding on a muffler doesnt need a phenomenal job, just a weld that holds with no leaks
