Hey everyone. I just bought an 04 f150 on Sunday and I was wondering if anyone near the Lexington area had any suggestions for a good exhaust shop to get a new exhaust. Also wondering about good places to get some new wheels and tires. Any suggestions are appreciated.

 

Alot of people don't like them, but I know the owner of Trialblazer's in Lex. He has always treated me right. I installed my exhaust myself. I bought a Magnaflow catback SISO. I know a guy here in Bardstown that has a used set of wheels and tires, it wouldn't be but 45 min drive.

 

DO NOT go to Trialblazers!! I've been there several times to spend some money and they never even acknowleged I walked in the door. No "hello" or "how ya doin'" or "can we help you find something" just five guys sitting at a computer - never and looked up. Hey if I have money to spend I'm not going to ASK someone if they'll help me spend it. Plus, half the stuff in their store doens't have a price on it.

Give a shout out over to Lucky's - can't miss it - big green building right on the circle. I moved from NH here to Versailles, KY three years ago and cracked a rim within the first week I was here. Not only did they get me a new 22" Ice Metal 887 wheel and Toyo tire it was 2/3's cheaper than when I had bought them new. Then, they put the tire on wrong - going the wrong direction - and fixed it without a hiccup. Now, THAT is customer service.

 

Yeah i'm def. not a fan of Trailblazers. i had a similar experience. i went in with the intent of getting my windows tinted on my ranger, i waited for 15 min before anyone even said hello then when someone finally asked me what i needed i told the guy what i wanted and he just looked at me and said well im on break. i have been to lucky's before, got airbags put on my ranger and they tinted the windows, they did do really good work and had great prices. i'll have to check them out on the exhaust, i didnt know if they had a reputation for exhaust systems or not.

 

What kind of exhaust system are you looking for?

 

Like I said, most people don't like Trailblazers. I know the owner so I guess it is different for me.

 

i would like to get either a flowmaster or magnaflow si/do exhaust system

 

I'm a HUGE fan of my SISO Magnaflow...

 

If you're willing to do the work yourself I've got a huge heated two car garage, tools, jack, jack stands & beer. Let me know what weekend you want to come over and I'll give you a hand

 

thnx for the offer but im not much with welding. i went to lucky's and they recommended 5 star exhaust on leestown road. i got it installed today. si/do flowmaster 40 series $350 installed, includes tips. i didnt think that price was too bad

 

Hey blang I also live in Bardstown, what kind of wheels/tires do you have for sale? size? New body style 150? (04-08)

 

Well you better talk to him b/c it doesn't sound like ppl are happy with his establishment.

 

What he does with his business is just that his business. And Raptor I don't have any for sale, a friend of mine has a set off his 04. I have been trying to get him to send some pics, but he hasn't done it yet. I guess he is in no rush to sale.

 

Well let me know what hes got and size ive been thinking of getting new tires soon anyways.
