Dallas~Where are the good shops?

I need my alignment done and some installations and such... for future reference, where are the cheap but good quality shops?
Alignment: The only 2 places that will do my lowered car is Carrollton Muffler and Dallas Frame and Alignment
Exhuast: I may want to get a custom exhaust, anywhere?
Camber Kit: Well I'm getting that installed maybe this Sunday, but if not, where are the good suspension places? I want my Tokicos!!!
Shops I know: VSV, Syndicate, Jotech
Shops I've been to: VSV (eh, its ok)

Thanx guys...

muffler king, I'm interested... but what I plan to do is have another pipe come to the left side of the car so I can have dual exhaust, w/ dual tip on each side (4 tips in all)... do u think they can do something like that? I mean I cant buy two mufflers, cuz one of them would be a waste of money you know? wussup...?

If u want dual exhaust u shoulda gotten the V6 accord. Getting Dual exhaust will only increase the horsepower by 2 or 3, so it would be pointless to spend that much money on less than a thousanth of a second in the quarter mile. I was at a show in Maryland when I was on vacation and this guy had dual exhaust on his civic and was getting ripped by the judges.

well the Dual exhuast... It will still be one muffler, just a little bit of air going to the other side of the connector pipe, if that makes any sense. Yeah I know I'll maybe not gain any HP at all, but its cheaper and our cars are slow anyway, so I'm just trying to go for show. And its not gonna be two of those big@$$ canisters either, it'll be like the M3 style dual tip, I just hope California will accept it when I move there..

I am just saying, not many people or judges in the show or even street seen think civics should have the look of a dual exhaust, even if it is one muffler. Most people wonder will wonder why u have a dual exhaust on a 4 cylinder. Most judges take off for that kind of a mod, notice I said most not all. And also how many civics do u see driving around with dual exhaust? U will also loose some of that beautiful sound because it won't be a straight flow out of the muffler.

Oh I understand you now... Yeah thanx 4 the heads up, I mean I was gonna put my car in show (knowing of course I wouldn't win) next year for HIN, but I'm moving to San Diego, Ca... So if what you said is true about my sound being not too loud, then thats good... Yeah I dont plan for any shows though, so Its just for looks (my preference I guess).. thanx man..

I'm not talking about how loud it is I am talking about the tone.
