Who SFC Weld-On San Jose

Does anyone know a place I can get my SFC's welded on for a decent price, and by someone that knows what they are doing?

I got a quote for over $500 if they pull the carpet and $400 if I pull the carpet.
Seems kind of high for welding on SFC's?!?

Re: Who SFC Weld-On San Jose

I've been a member here since the late 90's(off and On again) and I've never heard of the carpets being removed to install sub frame connectors.I would go to a place that installs exhaust parts because they have welding equipment.One member years ago had the sfc's welded and bolted but that may be overkill.I could be wrong,as I've been wrong 3 times this year and the year is still young.Hope this helps.(Midas)?Hope this helps.

They just pull the carpet up at the edges to prevent the heat from burning/melting the backing. You also have to protect the fuel lines on the driver side.

No exhaust place will touch it around here, unless a SJ local knows one. I can pull the carpet myself but they still want a pretty penny. Ill call midas.

Anyone near San Jose that someone knows?

Re: Who SFC Weld-On San Jose

So, what happened?

I'd suggest an independent exhaust shop, not a national chain like Midas. Better yet, find a general-purpose machine/fabrication shop.

Re: Who SFC Weld-On San Jose

So, what happened?
I got a hold of a local guy in Santa Clara that said if I prep the SBC's and the weld points, he can do it for around 300. No need to pull the carpet but If I did for the day then it might be good.

My passenger seat is already out, rear seats out, headliner out, carpet needs to be replaced but I can't do both at the same time so Ill most likely peel it back.
