I thought I wrote a review when I had a complete cat-back replacement done on my 2004 Chevy SSR, but can't find it, so, I need to tell you what a great job they did. These guys are real professionals and Mike seems to care more about customer satisfaction than anything else. Overall, the job was perfect. All new everything from the Cats back. Beautiful welds, fit was perfect, no rattles and great exhaust note from the MagnaFlo that Mike recommended. If you want it done right, go here if it's muffler/exhaust related. read more

Here is to another 5 star experience at OC Muffler. I've in communication with Mike through email for a few days as I was waiting for an cat-back exhaust. Came in on a Wednesday morning, he got to work, and a bit later he is done with it. Awesome work as usual, high quality, and a very knowledgeable person. read more

My 20 year old car still has a lot of life in it, but needed a new catalytic converter or else it wasn't going to pass the smog check. Since the pandemic, it is still too expensive to purchase a new car and the availability of what I would want for my next vehicle is still limited. I called around few places and got a lot of different quotes. Mike was able to quote me for approximately $1200, MANUFACTURE FIT, not universal like all the other guys were telling me. After going over the options with my husband, we decided to go with this place. Made my appointment and had to pay up front in order to get the part. Dropped off my car on the day we agreed upon and he told me it would take about 3-4 hours. When the car was ready to be picked up, Mike told me that he had to replace my O2 sensor because it broke off, and was floating around the catalytic converter, which probably explains why I had the funny lights show up & it failed the smog check. LOL. Had to pay an extra $100 for the part, which was fine. Fast forward a few months to now, my car passed the smog check with flying colors and it runs like brand new! As the ORGINAL owner of this 20 year old vehicle, I can't complain paying $1300 for a one time fix instead of buying a new car and dealing with monthly payments for who knows how long! read more

This is a great shop. Mike modified a flow master system on my f 250 and it came out great! Very fair price

Mike is super knowledgeable, an excellent welder, OC Muffler offers great service and gets the job done.

Great experience .He has funny ads on youtube. Mike put on an exhaust tip and receiver hitch on my car. He didn't offer me a beer or massage while I waited like his commercial but he did do a good job at a fair price while I waited. I'd definitely use him again when the need arises. read more

Orange County Muffler - Added an exhaust tip and receiver hitch while I waited - Auto Repair Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I needed a complete exhaust system for my 1985 Jeep CJ-7 from after the downpipe to the tailpipe. I called a local muffler shop near me in Cypress first but the reception I received over the phone immediately turned me off from me taking my business there. Randomly, I was watching a video on YouTube and came across the ad from Orange County Muffler and decided to give them a call. The initial call was professional and it actually sounded like they were willing to work with me. I took my Jeep down, I'm guessing it was Mike who looked at my Jeep, told him what I needed and that I wanted to use the muffler I would be supplying. Immediately, Mike? began calling suppliers to find a CA compliant catalytic converter for my Jeep as he didn't have one in his shop. I left the Jeep at his location and I received a call shortly after indicating he found a cat and that it would be delivered later in the day and he would start the fabrication the following morning. I was fine with that. The next morning I received a call at around 9:30 with news that my Jeep was done. When I arrived, it was perfect and exactly what I wanted. The welds are beautiful and everything about it exceeds my expectations. Do not hesitate to go here. They do awesome work. read more

Quick, easy, cost effective service. No appointment needed, it's first come first serve. Took just a couple hours to complete a muffler replacement. read more

Mike was extremely helpful and knowledgeable - Great communication over the course of several days and knew exactly how to get things done. I had an axle back installation on my car and he took the time to explain how the install works and the components of the vehicle. And he's hilarious. read more

Went in thinking I needed a new catalytic converter due to this horrible rattling. Expected to be paying a few thousand. Walked away 30 minutes later with an honest diagnosis that cost $100 and fixed my problem. I'll definitely be back for everything. Thank you read more

I had a rattle coming from the exhaust on my Crown Victoria, and it was becoming more persistent. I have also wanted Flowmaster mufflers on this car for a long time. Two trips to Orange County Mufflers took care of both issues. The rattle was one of the four catalytic converters on the car failing, and Mike ordered me a new one and it showed up later that day, I came in the next morning to have it replaced. BUT he had the Flowmaster 40-Series mufflers I wanted in stock and available for immediate installation! In this day and age, rapid delivery of goods and/or services is a promise to nobody, but Orange County Mufflers solved all my problems in 24 hours, and the price was reasonable too. Thanks Mike! read more

I had my catalytic converter stolen last night. Was able to get it replaced in less than 5 hours (with insurance) with no hassle at Orange County Muffler. Staff was very friendly and responsive to all of my questions regarding parts and general questions. Highly recommend for fast service and great work! read more

There are tons of good muffler shops around, but if you want one that specializes in mandrel bent piping this is the place! Opted for a system built on 2.5inch tubing with an 18inch Magnaflow muffler Cat-Back system and it came out perfectly. Booking was easy, pricing was great, craftsmanship exceeded expectations, highly highly recommend. read more

So I backed into a parking stop and took my car here to see if any damage had been done to my exhaust. After inspecting under my car he got straight to the point, no bs and said it would be a quick fix and just like that I was out in about 15 minutes. I would definitely recommend any of my friends and family to come here. Price was great also. read more

The man who helped me was completely disrespectful to me. It was almost like he was angry and taking it out on me. It was 100% clear to me that he could care less about how I felt about it. The work was satisfactory and completed quickly. I would never go back or recommend this place to anyone. read more

Great work as usual at Oc muffler even during the pandemic. Riding is essential and it's an essential business. read more

Someone jerk stole our catalytic converter from our truck. Took it down to OC muffler and they had it taken care of in a day! They did a great job! This is our new go-to place should we need muffler-related work again! read more

I've taken two of my vehicles to Mike over the years and have had quality work down on both. My 1992 4Runner had a cat replaced after my old one fell apart and a muffler replaced after I punched a hole in it while 4x4ing. The welds are high quality and have lasted well. I came back to Mike due to the good job he did on the 4Runner to install my exhaust on my 2000 F250. I left the truck overnight with him since there where several cars in front of me, however he knocked the exhaust out the next day and my truck has been purring ever since. Nothing has came loose on it, everything seems to be how it should be. The one problem with Mike is he's a pretty serious dude, he doesn't joke around too much unless you can get him talking. Some reviews find him rude, but I think he's a busy guy just trying to run his business. Otherwise his service is the best in Costa Mesa, and anytime I have an exhaust that needs work I'll be taking it to OC Muffler! read more

Orange County Muffler - My truck and it's new exhaust in the OC Muffler Parking Lot - Auto Repair Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I saw your commercial and watched the full thing and I think it's so awesome!! Great commercial that it :) the

Was on the phone with "mullet mike" and explained what was desired. While on the phone kept being cut off without time to explain what the work wanted was. Just poor customer service, scares me to bring a car to a shop where the main mechanic will hang up in frustration when you ask for a quote on exhaust work instead of working with you and walking through the process. Legitimately asked for a quote, was told they can't do that without seeing the car, and then got hung up on very Interesting customer service strategy. read more

These guys have been around forever! I took my truck in there to get exhaust improved "Dealer couldn't figure it out" Mike and his team jumped on it and did an AMAZING JOB!! I don't usually yelp but I can't say enough about how great this place is...ABOVE AND BEYOND EXPECTATIONS! read more

0 stars for this place the guy who runs it is an absolute dick and unprofessional to say the least do not take your car here. Prices are fair but the attitudes you will encounter aren't worth the price. Extremely poor service I've took my car to Santa Ana and got treated with the upmost respect this guy will talk to you like your an idiot and you'll catch all the bad vibes when you in the extremely outdated front desk/garage. Long story short this shop has cavemen working thinking they are rocket scientist. Don't go here take it to someone who appreciates your money read more

When I called on the phone and he was very disrespectful, The owner like he's really angry when I first called he just says hello very loudly on the phone, I said is Orange County muffler, he said Yes, and he said, hold on I have someone else on the another line, then I called back again and he says Orange very rumbly, he's a very angry person I don't know how he staying in business. read more

As always Mike and his crew go the extra step all the way and do flawless work. I've been to many muffler shops over the years and this one is amongst the best. Thanks for the quality work dudes. read more

After reading all the whiney ass , oh my gosh, they dropped the F bomb and said my wife looked like my muffler. Come on now ! That's exactly where I'm taking my Benzo for new catalytic converters. Best commercial ever. I've been in the parts business for 30 years, and i'm sure I'll feel right at home. The whiners are the ones, that want it done NOW, and cry about the price. And remember boys, if it has tits or wheels, it will give you trouble! See you guys next week ! Freaking funny commercial !! read more

Installed catback w/ magnaflows that added about 10% HP and a much beefier exhaust note to my 2015 F01 750i (445HP twin turbo V8). Having previously owned the F10 M5 with a Meisterschaft system on it, I can tell you w/ confidence that if you're like me and yearning for some added performance and an exhaust rumble for your common man whip that will put a big stupid grin on your face every time - then call OC Muffler. These guys will provide you with top shelf workmanship and deliver you exactly what they say they will and when. Straight up dudes here. Thanks guys! read more

2006 4Runner 4.7L replaced stock muffler with a Flow Master 50 Delta and sounds great and not too loud. I later decided I also wanted a side exit exhaust to i can drive with the rear window down instead of straight back and also removed the stock resonator. I no longer get that rotten egg smell i used to on hard acceleration. All prices were lowest nearby and Mike always delivered on time. The quality of service was excellent and I liked his youtube videos they are funny. Overall, I recommend OC muffler because "No Muff too Tuff" read more

Have had my AC serviced here a few times, and they installed a Gibson exhaust on my Tahoe. Always solid service and good advice. Got a great T-shirt too! read more

As a motorsports car nut fanatic like me, I took it upon myself to check this place out after hearing from other friends who had their resonator deleted by Orange County Muffler for a decent price. I showed up at 8:30 AM Thursday morning to get a quote. Mind you, my car is 4 inches below the ground. And this sleepy eyed prototype looking being with an unwashed face proceeded to bend his left cheek down to the ground to (I'm guessing) using his superhuman powers as if he had some kind type of Robo-Cop see through night vision. He quoted me $100 to replace the resonator. Seriously, one hundred U.S dollars to install a 2.3 inch pipe by 11-12 inch length. Aluminized steel, not T304 stainless steel. Arch/Mig welded not quality TIG welded!?????!?!?!??! I wasn't sure if this guy didn't get laid this whole year or he's depressed about PENN STATE being banned. Oh and he crapped out of his mouth by talking into space and not look me in the eye saying " It. will. look. like. sh!t. and. fcuking. messy. if. I. don't. mandrel. bend. the. pipe". When there is nothing to bend in the beginning. It's the obvious "I wanna see if this man is blind enough to fall into my trap" tactic. He obviously doesn't trust his own work, have no customer service skills and manners. I ain't your homie fool! Don't talk to me like we ride together son! So...again I moonwalked outta there. read more

5 stars just for the awesome youtube commercial. I'll drive down there if I ever need a muffler.

Mullet Mike is a YouTube yelp baby killer. I'm going to take my car there from now on strictly because of how he handles all you crybaby doo doo fucks. I can only imagine the trendy car club kids that write these bad yelp reviews props to OC muffler for making light and not taking you fuckboys too serious. http://youtu.be/kJ0vnZ4HICc read more

Guys are super nice and good at what they do. Would recommend them to everyone. Also have very good deals. My Silverado sounds a lot better now. read more

These guys are cool and do good work! He thought the tips i was having put on would look bad, due to the wrong recommendation of size i got from another shop. but after the welding was done it looked perfectly fine! Got me in and out in a short amount of time during my break from work too. And their prices are fair too compared to other places ive called around. read more

Stopped by here last week and spoke with Mike about getting the mufflers deleted off of my A6. He quoted me $140 so I took it there. Mike is super nice and seems to know what he's doing. Took him about 2 hours to do some cutting and welding, so I'm guessing that he likes to take his time to do a quality job. Got it back and the car sounds mean. read more

I came in on Saturday morning to see if guys here can weld the holding nut that fell off from motorcycle exhaust T4 for Honda XR650R. Mike was very nice and he also took his time with this project. Thank You! read more

Had an awesome experience here. I had my muffler removed and I really didn't like how the car sounded after that. I was looking for a place who would be able to put the muffler back on, at a reasonable price. I found Orange County Muffler on Yelp. When I called them, they said to drop the car off early in the morning and they will get it done. I dropped off my car. A few hours later, it was done. My car now sounds normal again, they did a great job. Definitely recommend this place, these guys are great! read more

Firstly, I tried another nearby muffler place before this (well reviewed on yelp) and it was a solitary older rude man who worked there, gave me shitty service and wanted me to leave my car there all day for what I knew was very little work to do. He also made a snarky comment to me. "When I say drop your car off in the morning, I mean DROP it off and go HOME". I didn't say anything else to him, took my keys and drove away Then I found this place on yelp. I had an exhaust leak and they had me in and out in under 20 minutes. Cannot complain at all, great price and Mike is a great guy. Would definitely return here again for muffler work read more
