Good place around west chester/exton to get a bung welded in - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

bms231 · 12-22-2006, 08:35 PM

Yea, like the title said.... anyone know any good places in west chester/exton or somewhere close to get a bung for an O2 sensor welded into my exhaust? I am back from Ohio and held off until I get to PA b/c no one in Ohio has any skill at anything. I want it to be done right.... preferably by a speed shop b/c I want them to tell me best location for the wideband.

best place for a wideband is around the same location where your factory o2 sensor is. also, place it before any cats you have on the car.

once you find a spot, almost any exhaust shop should be able to do the job for you.

ryan doesn't get his work done at exotic anymore, he's now having his cars worked on at audio sensations.

exotic customs/audio is great when snyder does nice work. It sucks when he screws up and doesn't want to own up to his mistakes....or doesn't get your **** done on time....don't even get me started.

regardless, i'd possibly suggest them for audio depending on how i'm feeling that day, but as far as performance mods or real engine work, exotic audio isn't the place.

im assuming you've had a bad expierence with him? i use mike for parts (especially my JDM ****), but i do my own work so i dont know how good he is in that department, but he's always been real speedy with getting me my stuff. he did my friends RSX with bodykit and exhaust.. it took him a little while but it looked awesome in the end.

can he get JDM stuff???

JoJo · 12-26-2006, 10:05 PM

mediocre experience I suppose. I used him for a lot of installs back when I had my civic, he even put tv's in my moms yukon xl. I thought he did really nice work, and he hooked me up with some awesome below cost deals because I did some graphic design work for him. Long story short, when he was finishing up my stereo install on the si, he screwed something up with my radio reception. Wouldn't own up to it and just re-do the wiring and look at the system, he insisted I have my brand new flip screen headunit looked at. After months of going back and forth with Kenwood, getting a brand new screen and brain under warranty, I plugged it back into the car and guess what, same problem. Only then did he want to step up and try to fix his work. By that time I wasted a lot of time, and a bit of money, so I just said forget it and he lost my business from that point forward. This was aside from mike never getting his work done on time when he would promise it. Consistently i'd be out a car because he'd under estimate how long his jobs would take. I hear this happens to be the main reason that ryan dunn is getting his work done at audio sensations now. He's a nice guy but I think he needs some work on business practices, or atleast he did back then.

I hear mighty muffler in aston is very good but its not too close to West Chester/Exton area.

enigma · 12-31-2006, 09:29 PM

Yeah, junior and the crew at mighty muffler are pretty good at custom exhaust. Junior hooked me up with some stuff for my talon and dakota, and their performanceshop(evolution) just got features in hot rod for having the first 05-06 (?)GT500 into the 10's

Anywho, best place for a wide band at least a foot or so away from the manifold, so it don't stand no chance of getting hit with REALLY hot gasses or fire, and before the cat. Also, picture the exhaust pipe as a clock, the bung should be above 3'oclock position, and above 9 o clock position, to reduct any chance of condensed liquid hitting the wideband O2 sensor.
I put my bung after the flexpipe on my talon.

He's not just Joe Meineke... He's Joe Palmer @ Meineke on Business 30. He works there with his mom, dad, and granddad. His Dad is Billy Palmer, NHRA legend. They do wonderful work at a reasonable price. The Palmers have been building and tuning cars for decades. Check 'em out! They're in Exton near the White Glove Carwash on 30 between Route 100 and Whitford Road.
