what shop could make a bung and weld it on to my borla headers?

I want to weld in a EGT bung on my Borla Header and I was wondering if any of you have any recommendations where I should go to get it done? How much should they cost just in case someone tries to rip me off.

Just be carefull of which ESH you go to. I say that because the one in Kailua were being a bunch of B****es not to long ago about one of there bits breaking on my buddies down pipe so there only made it 1/4 of the way and said they couldn't do it anymore. They still charged him i think 25 bucks for an unfinished job So just keep away from the one in Kailua.

the guy who works there, Roland, usually doesn't give phone quotes....usually he'll tell you to just come in and they'll see what they can do...but he'll give you a pretty accurate quote...

I wouldn't go there they are a bunch of ******. I had bought a Ti HKS muffler and wanted them to do up a pipe to go from the cat to the muffler. So I go back to talk to them about a affidavit and they said they wouldn't do it because I didn't buy the muffler from them and that they did not sell affidavit but for $60 they'd give me one...Don't you know somebody with a welder? Do you have the hardware for the bung maybe my friend can weld it for you for a lot less than they would.

I think anyone could really weld a muffler on a car and bend some pipes but when it got tough for them to drill a bung in some cast iron they wimped out and still charged my friend. to those guys.
