Hey All,

So the tail pipe just fell off the wagon today and after taking a look I realized that I'm probably going to have to replace the exhaust - probably up to the first muffler. The only hitch is that when I got the back muffler replaced in North Carolina they welded the j-hook thingies to the exhaust pipes. I'd like to avoid such stupid mistakes in the future - so does anyone have any recommendations for a good exhaust person in the DC-ish area (and someone who won't be scared by what a car that's lived most of it's life in the midwest looks like; i.e., rusted)? The annoying thing is that I couldn't just throw the tail pipe in the dumpster - the j-hook is rusted into the rubber mount.

Thanks in advance for any help!
