Default Tail pipe builder Grand Rapids MI area

I need to have some custom tails made for my Eickert headers. They are a really simple design- no bents just straight back. Does anyone know of someone in the Western Michigan area that can tackle this? MT has a guy in Chicago, but I'd rather not tow my boat down here if possible.

Give Valako a call. I know he has modded up some Lightning tails, SM tails and some CMI's. Your just talking about cutting and welding tubes and inners?

Yes- the angles will need to be figured out, but I would take the boat to him. It should be pretty easy. Thanks- either I'll give him a call or have John ask him when he calls him next.

Thanks!

Mike, Richard who has a shop in kaleva can do it. His shop is across the drag strip. Use to work at kelava auto and great fabricator. I will talk to him this week.
