I am looking to find an exhaust shop near columbus Ohio to weld in a bung for my sensor for my wideband and exhaust adjustment.
I want to find a reputable shop that can help me. In addition to welding in the bung/port for the sensor, I need exhaust adjustment. My tuner had looked at my exhaust system (that was put in by the previous owner) and said he think it’s hanging way too low (which explains why I literally scrape on everything).
Any suggestions on how to raise the exhaust up?

You do not need an exhaust shop to weld a bung on a collector or X pipe. Have YOU looked at why the exhaust is hanging low? I'm assuming the midpipe hanging low is your issue, so if everything is attached correctly then it must just be because of where the collector is located.......and the only way to fix that is to put on a different set of headers.

I currently have only one bung for the O2 sensor on what would be the driver side "down pipe". So I wanted to get another one welded on the drivers side for the wideband sensor.
And I do not have any aftermarket longtube headers... I am running stock headers. I figured out an idea that might work in regards to getting the entire exhaust system raised up about 1/2-3/4 inch, just a little cutting and welding to do.
Thanks for your input.

I think you missed my point. Anyone with a welder can put an exhaust bung on a pipe, it's very easy.

So if you have factory manifolds, what midpipe are you running?

I understand anyone with a welder can do it, but unfortunately for me I do not know anyone close to me that would be able to help me out, so I am resorting to an exhaust shop.

And in regards to the midpipe, I am not sure. It almost looks like the previous owner (or whoever) made a home made midpipe that goes to Borla stingers. I can try to take a photo and upload that.
