I was doing an oil change a couple weeks ago and discovered a crack in the RH exhaust collector of my C180. Upon examination, this part had a lot of field-repaired cracks, so I decided to send it off to an exhaust specialist to get done up right. I ended up sending it off, along with the risers, to Custom Aircraft Parts in El Cajon CA (800-561-1901), who did a bang-up job rebuilding an Avcon muffler from my old C150/150 a few years ago. Got it back yesterday, they did a great job and turnaround was mere 4 business days. They charged me $375 for the collector and another $375 for the three risers, for a total of $750 (plus return shipping) which I consider very reasonable.
