Which Lou's custom exhaust is the best one to go to, or any other shops near boston for that matter?

2nd.
Lou and one other guy have been the only ones that have done work for me and I've been happy every time. I'm usually out in less than 15 minutes on Saturday mornings with little welding projects that I've brought there.

I had to go back twice to get them to fix a bracket on the exhaust.
The ended up cutting it off and putting a brace in.
It wasn't a custom exhaust and was on someone elses car prior to mine without issue.
Also, when I went in for service, the dealer said a lot of the exhaust hardware was loose, although I didn't crawl under the car myself...so who knows if they were exaggerating?
They were nice, though. I went to the Boston location originally, but they were extremely unprofessional.
Maybe I'm just spoiled by my home exhaust shop.

I went there and wasn't that impressed either.
My magnaflows were installed there, however, they could not get the mufflers to go higher. There was a three finger gap between the top of the valence cutout and the exhaust tip...way too much IMO. Stock isn't even that much.
I brought it back to them, they simply heated and bent the hangers so that the tips would sit higher and sent me on my way but over a few days, they sagged back down again.
I ended up going to Billy @ Anchor auto body and spent more money which he made them perfect. A finger gap between the valence cutout and tip.
I've heard good and bad things about the N. Reading one. My experience wasn't that great.
