Any good tuner/exhaust shops in Downtown Chicago?

Every shop I know is in the burbs - too far and too much traffic. tia

Well if you don't mind driving to buffalo grove you should go to vs motorsports, other then that there isn't much unless you go to just a random exhaust shop, what are you looking to get done?

That's too bad. Maybe I need to open a shop then. Driving out to the burbs is the worst. btw Double Doubles rule, Animal Style.

Yeah, was gonna say....its not that bad to get to WSTO. Rush hour and Friday and Sat late aft's/eve's won't be good, but mid AM through mid aft are a breeze dude.

Ricer X · 06-20-2010, 03:07 PM

Well then I guess its JB3 for you.

CubanJJ09 · 06-20-2010, 03:30 PM

Yea or a v3
