Really just looking for the labor to install an exhaust on a non Audi/VW car in the area. Not sure if the national chains will do that if you don't buy the exhaust from them. By local, I prefer Chicago, but the 'burbs will do too. TIA!!

Default Picked up a 5th vehicle, but haven't posted pics yet.

It's a 2005 Yukon XL Denali in pimp daddy white! Sweet ride with Nav, DVD/TV, seating for 8, AWD, blah, blah, blah. Needed a winter car since I needed to preserve my RS6 for you and I'm sure you didn't want it to see a winter!

Gas mileage isn't that bad at 19/20 on the highway, about 12 in the city. About the same as my RS6 and it uses regular unleaded. Far better than either of my V-12's too.

I can also use it to haul my R32 as with my latest round of mods, it's becoming increasingly difficult to drive on the streets, although I'll only do that if I absolutely have to.
