Weld in a bung for Wideband O2 sensor

Can someone recommend a shop in the Beaverton area that can put a bung in downpipe?

I mean, put one in, and do it right?

I'm really getting tired of giving people money to do a job, and getting garbage in return.

The bung I had welded in at a local muffler shop (Ed's Muffler in Beaverton) doesn't hold water. Literally. The welds didn't look too good, and they weren't. I poured some water down the pipe, and it leaks out around the welds.

I just need someone to fix it now I guess. Not going back there.

Well I fixed his FUBARed downpipe, jesus, whoever did this doesn't know how to weld. I ground off what I could and then did two layer of stainless. I also removed his heat shield material transfer and the sharp ends off the midpipe mounting plate.

Thanks, I was going to call them next.

The guy that does the welding at GZ does very good work, as does Rob.

I've been running around so much, I was trying to find someone closer to home to cut down on my driving. Should've known better...

IAC Adam took care of it today and did a great job.
