GEE-OTTO Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 My stock manifold on my 08 2.5i has developed a slight crack near the expansion fitting (bellows coupler) its off the car and could be welded on the bench. I wanted to ask prior to going to Midas as I fear they may suck at life or try to charge me $300 for two welds Any suggestions would be great:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacyshawn Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I'm in the same boat, trying to find a decent honest shop that could fix my Perrin axle back mean lean and cut and weld in a better flowing y connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06Limited Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 If you have the exhaust free and handy my welder guy (used him on a couple items on my Lotus) is awesome and very reasonably priced. His name is Bruce and his number is: 703-2OO-zero3eight7 He's located in Falls Church/right off I-66. Tell him Joe with the Lotus sent you his way. Hope this helps!

06Limited Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 so will this exhaust shop anodize my exhaust tips blue? The welder I mentioned started out as a welder in the armed services (~25 years ago) and just does this a side gig. He can weld aluminum, steel (including stainless), titanium, etc. I do not believe he does anodizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
