[1ns0mniac]

+1 he's helped me out several times other than with intercooler piping.

[will_rex]

Arnel does great work, and he's a good, honest guy.

[JayDM]

There are 3 people I trust with my car/engine and Arnel is one of them. He has been working on Hondas long before most of us ever bought our first "tuner". Great work again Arnel!


...now where's that TIG?

[Fl1pSde 101]

yup.....as far as boost/car goes arnel and matt (sohc mishue) are the only ones I trust.....

[black6gen]

+1 again

+2 ........ again

[2ltrgsr]

+1 arnel installed my turbo on my gsr a year ago. He puts everything he knows into his work. great guy.

[crzyazn45]

where is this guy located???

how much does he charge?

[Hondas_Only]

he's in va beach... and he really is everything these guys are saying and more! look up THERMAL under members... his avatar is 2 turbos. im sure his pricing is based by case... so pm him and see what he says! gl

[Fl1pSde 101]

yeah...hes prices are not the same..it all varies...give him a call or send him a pm for an estimate

[benflagg]

I need intercooler piping done for my Mazdaspeed, I may just have to get ahold of this guy. Gotta wait about 2 paychecks though lol.

[thermal]

I'm located in Va Beach, Chimney Hill/Green Run area

Thanks guys! I really appreciate this thread. Click on the link on my sig to see more pics.

The guys are right, my prices varies depending on what adjustment I have to do to compensate on what is already in the car (under the hood)... rerouting can be become a pain in the butt. There are also instances where I have to shell out more piping just to complete a job. These things could be a set of foglights, placement of intercooler, DP clearances, etc..

Generally, my pricing for civics, integras, eclipses/talons on 2.5" intercooler piping is between $200-220 and 3" piping set-up is around $220-250. For downpipes: 2.5" is about $150 and 3" is about $200. If I do your DP, your dumptube fabrication is free (you buy the flange). If you want anything else incorporated in your intercooler or downpipe system, I will weld/flange them for FREE. Just buy the buy parts. I will ONLY provide all the piping and O2 bung.

For further details, click and read the first page on the link on my sig.

Jay, Tig is in the plans bro :D

[Fl1pSde 101]

cant wait to finish up my setup..

arnel is the shit,so for everyone that wants to get their pipings done right..he's the man to call.....dont hesistate!

[kaltares]

Great guy and good work. Talk to u l8r bakla!!!!!

[Fl1pSde 101]

haha who's bakla ? lol

[thermal]

haha who's bakla ? lol
He is talking about his "crew".... baklaracingTeam....

The bead roller cost me about $140. I had to modify and strengthen it tho, to make it work on 18 gauge thickness

[Grease Monkey]

I'll be getting up with you very soon. The new setup on the hatch is almost done, and I've got another project that needs your attention ;)

hehe...u and troy are funny...lol

[black6gen]

I didn't see a review for him yet so ill go ahed and start one.

I just had him finish up a section of my exhaust on my turbo D-series and it is amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Turbo actually spools faster! Verry clean work and he even did some work in the rain to get everything done. He even let me lend a hand(most people don't).

Recomend verry highly!!!!!!!!!

[Grease Monkey]

I thought there was a thread.. But either way.. He does amazing work.. He did all the piping and fabrication on my hatch, from the IC piping to the exhaust. The car made WELL over 600hp with those parts and I couldn't be happier. Thanks again bro!

[ryyo]

Where's this place located? I may need to have a section of my exhaust worked on.

[MORE IMPATIENT]

i thought he didnt do exhaust work anymore, that was one of the reasons i had bought the 3 inch for my coupe a while ago. either way,next project i have ill be contacting him again. good shit...

He works out of his garage.

It all depends on what u need done. Just ask him.

[thermal]

Thanks fellas.... my feedback page is on my sig.

Yup, it just all depends on what section of the exhaust piping. I cannot do a "full exhaust" system only because I do not have a source to get long piping sections. The longest I can get it for a reasonable price (3 inch diameter) is 2 foot sections.

Yup, I do all the work in my garage. I'm in Va Beach Chimney Hill/Green Run area.

Hit me up, I can get you 5 or 10 foot sections. I even have a 5 foot section in my garage!
Yet another satisfied Thermal customer!:D

[thealpha]

Glad I found this thread, ill be going turbo in a year or so and ill need someone to do all my pipework. Pricing aint bad either... Sweet :)

[Fl1pSde 101]

yeah hes the man to go to ........he makes the pipes and mostly Shue tunes it...well in my case and my friends thats the route and ive seen so far alot people went that route as well....2 thumbs up

[thealpha]

........he makes the pipes and mostly Shue tunes it...
So he works with Matt as well? That works well because I want Matt to do the tune :)

[Fl1pSde 101]

to me their the best....arnel makes sick as pipes and matt tunes it to its best.......look at my names under my username..their 2 of the ones id trust with my car and stock or modified as well...no one else

[sohc_mshue]

Arnel does great work and like previously stated on here i've tuned a bunch of setups he has worked on. The fab looks great and all of my customers that came with fabrication done by him have had nothing but great things to say about his work :thup:

[thermal]

It just so happened that way... it wasnt planned tho. Matt and I have never really talked tho... I think that I've met him way back in the days at Dinwidie one night during a test and tune. It's just that most of the Hondas I've fabricated for are already lined up to seek tuning methods by Matt.... hehehe. Shuetuning is superb! No one ever came back with a sad face after Matt had tuned the set-up....this is honest truth!
