Default shops in boston

I am looking to do some basic upgrades for now (CAI, exhaust, tuner, which I can do myself) but I am hoping to be able to do a suspension lift and hopefully an ATI procharger. I was wondering if anybody had any tips for a performance shop around the Boston area. I live about 20 minutes north next to Lowell, MA but really any place within a 2 hour drive I'm willing to check out to talk to the guys about pricing for the supercharger / suspension work.

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip. I bought my truck from the same dealership, what the hell happened to them? I was in for an oil change not too long ago and they all of a sudden shut down. Ill definately have to check out coastal customs. I had my last truck done at lous in N. reading, they are cheap and do good work. Do you live near the plaistow line? I was thinking about a volant CAI but I've never seen or heard one I drive through Haverhill and Plaistow a few times a week I'd like to check out that CAI if thats cool.

And as for Boston. It has been one hell of a year to be from New England! I spent the last 4 years in Indiana amongst Colts fans, it's good to be back in N.E. I guess we'll see in a few weeks if they really are the "perfect pats".

the dealership closed down? they were bought out by chrysler dodge corporate and then a private buyer got it and they must have run it down, i liked it there because i knew alot of the guys working there. thats so weird i havent been there since last summer. wow now i geuss i got to find a new dealership to do warranty work. i have a 4.7 with the volant intake and i love it. it looks real nice, its a little pricey i got a deal on ina few weeks ago ( 225 with free shipping, place had one left and wanted to get rid of it quick to stock up on more) ill try to get pics. but we could meet up if you want to take a look at it. i hate looking at my truck right now in the winter always soo dirty and too clean her up.
and yeah GO PATS!! and soon GO SOX ! and what the hell GO CELTS ( they having a great season too, who knows maybe they will win too)

Lou's Custum exhaust all the way!

They bend there own pipes and weld all connections and fabricate any hangers that are needed or need replacing. They have worked on my old Jeep, my wife's Jeep, her old non-MOPAR, and my eight brothers and brother-in-laws' vehicles. Soon to put in a si/do on my 1500.

Poiont of Interest: Lou was the Dad and the son's now have differnet shops. The mechanics at all are fantastic. If you go to N Reading Lee will hook you up well -as will the other shops.

The only Lou's to look out for is at Duff Spring in Medford. Same name but not same company. Awesome work on big rig springs but definately not the Lou's you are looking for.

louscustomexhaust.com

I have seen people arrange to have their trucks taken directly to Lou's from the dealer. They can make any pipes or headers and more. I have used them for exhausts primarily.
