Default De-cat recommendation.

I live in an eastern suburb of the Cleveland Ohio metro area. Looking for someone who de-cats head pipes in the area. If you know of anyone, or an indy or a firm that can do this please let me know. Thanks

Bill

Do you have an objection to getting a decat header from fleabay or the classifieds here for some reason? Just curious.....

I bought my decat off ebay from B&E performance. Paid $135 shipped. They do a good job of cleanly and correctly decatting the pipe. It worked well with no problems. The reason I opted to buy instead of decat my own is because I wanted to have the original in case they started cracking down on this stuff.

Default Got two.

No objections to buying off the bay. Just that I have an extra head pipe, brand new. If I can get it done locally I can drop off and pick it up, no shipping. And still have an extra stock pipe.

Bill,

I can do the cutting, cat removal and welding for you. I live south of Akron. PM me if interested.

Thanks, Seth

Just ordered mine from B&E as well. $135 on eBay, free shipping, I keep my originals. Since you already have two, local makes sense.
