Best Brissy exhaust shop ?

Since my Astina's getting further from stock I guess it's time for an exhaust !
Would appreciate any heads up on the best (or worst) places around

1.8 N/A but still fresh as a daisy

2 insh will be perfect man.. no need to go bigger unless you going turbo hey..

an exhaust shop can do a cheap install for around 350/400 from headers back.

IF your headers bolt up the original cat section just go cat back. no need to go larger cat too. ask brown dog if they bolt up to a stock system.
