Exhaust Systems Hawaii

I am very satisfied with the service provided here. I had several people help me at this Waipahu location but the person that stood out to me was Robert. He hooked me up and helped me out. Educated me and allowed me to make a better decision. I came in knowing what I wanted and he recommended me a route I could take. Initially I was wanting to bring in a used Borla Pro XS and stick it on my Celica but he advised against that for various reasons. He was very honest and he wasn’t trying to sell me anything, he was telling me his honest opinion about what would be best for my car and I went with it. I was able to get a DC Sport muffler installed to an otherwise stock exhaust system with an iconic Japanese tilt look. All for under $ 500. Very reasonable and I came in here knowing I would spend around this much. A new Borla Pro XS would have been under $ 350 for me but I didn’t want to go that route, I wanted to experience something different cause I already know how Borla is. I would definitely recommend Exhaust Systems Hawaii to anyone looking to get an exhaust. You won’t be disappointed! If possible you should ask for Robert because he is very friendly and he will take care of you.

Came in to give these guys a challenge to put a rsx muffler on to my civic. Rolled in and was serviced by steven, gave me a quote and gave me a detailed description of what he was gonna do.
Car was on the rack and asked him to check if there were any leaks. No leaks, so i gave him the thumbs up to go ahead. Came back an hour later and the job was all pow. He even had his apprentice shine the tip for me!
If u need anybody thats cool and honest see steve. He even took a good look and realized my gf is his daughters hairdresser. Haha small island. Also got free lic plate frames. Always wanted those speed kills plates.

Wow, when I arrived they were all busy, thats good. Yet someone stopped his work, to welcome a new customer. Thats Good again! Later on the owner ask me what was wrong, I explained my problem, he understood it, he took my car, and later he came back with a estimate. I understood what he said, it was in my price range.
They immediately started working on my car.
When my car was fixed, and (I asked could I look at my vehicle to see the work that was done!) I checked it out, and the person working on my car, the mechanic (Keola) he explain to me! What he had done!
Yes, I was pleased with his work, and I looked at it. It was good work. I went to the office and was gladly to pay for their services. YES, I would highly recommend WAIPAHU Exhaust Systems to all my friends, co-​works and family.
Thank you WAIPAHU Exhaust Systems

You got to see steven when you come here. Super down to earth and very helpful. I couldnt decide what to get but he informed me that I should buy quality. So I went with the HKS high powered and couldnt have been any happier. Thanks bro

Very fast and helpful! Steven was very helpful with all our needs. His attention to detail was amazing. Through out the process he asked us about 4 times is the position was okay. Just making sure that everything thing was perfect. That’s what I liked the most he wanted everything to be perfect and get what we came here for. The end result was great and I can’t wait to hear her start up! Great job to Steven and his crew! 2 thumbs up!

Great customer service here! Came in without an appointment and had a muffler put on in under an hour. Price was better than others too. Special shout to steven, the person who helped us.

Really fast and friendly they fixed my car in a timely manner and it also pretty cheap Def will come back again

Had a CAT back Flowmaster 40s series system installed on my 2014 RAM 1500 earlier today. Steve and his Team did an outstanding job in less than 2 hours. I was in and out and my exhaust system sounds and performs great. The staff there was courteous and they knew there stuff as far as performance exhaust systems. Definately plan on returning for work on my other car.

Earlier today I went down to ESH, soon as I walked in I was asked can i help you, so I told him What I wanted which was dual exhaust on my 2006 v6 mustang, he gave me a run down on what I should do and shouldn’t do, he told me not to get dual because it won’t come close to a GT sound or won’t do much because it’s a v6 so I said okay saves me some cash, so I got a Flowmaster super 44 installed and it sounds great.

THIS IS ACTUALLY A NO STAR REVIEW!!!
Unfortunately I must choose a star so they get it by default. I called in to get a quote on pricing to install a set of headers and a cat back exhaust system if I buy it myself. I was quoted 6 hours @ $ 125/​hr just for the headers alone. Now I haven’t gone through the process of changing out headers or any exhaust manifolds before so I balked at the price and time estimated. The guy on the phone immediately said «I don’t know why people always question that price. If you think it’s easy why don’t you do it yourself. If not that’s our price take it or leave it.» Now more than that, he said it with such attitude that you could tell he had no regard for customer service or who he was talking to. I then immediately called the Kailua store and asked the exact same question the the person that answered the phone. I got the same price estimate but without the «I don’t give a crap» attitude.”
I hope that this review helps you to see what kind of service you’ll get at this location. I don’t know how that guy still has a job. And it shouldn’t be greeting customer or answering the phone.

Got my exhaust system back in May, but finally made a Unilocal to give a well deserved review!
Walked in not knowing anything about exhaust, but the staff here were super cool. They educated me and gave me the rundown of what I could go with for my car. Once I picked out what I wanted, installation was FAST. More importantly, my civic sounds awesome now. The borla system that I got doesn’t give my civic that irritating fart can sound, but rather a nice deep and full sound. And the price I payed was actually lower than I expected. I would definitely recommend these guys if your looking for an exhaust system. Real friendly and knowledgeable guys there. Thanks again guys!!!

Called these guys and was able to drop off my truck the same day. Lawrence helped me out. Needed to get my tailpipes re done to clear my axle and add stainless tips. My truck was done a few hours later and it was exactly how I wanted it. Only reason for 4 stars was because it was a little more pricy than I had expected. But overall, Lawrence did a great job and did exactly what I wanted. Thanks! Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Sale going on right now… Swapping out my nephews stock muffler with a Borla Muffler for 260 which is a steal! Great place, great customer service!

So I brought in my 01 Camaro SS to install my Magnaflow catback I ordered off summit racing. The guy at the front desk was very nice, and no it wasn’t the fat guy with gauges. They told me that the kit I got May have be defective and had to modify the 2 tailpipes. After paying them a extra $ 30 to modify the tailpipes were still off. One tailpipe was sticking more out from my bumper than the other. This was the exact kit for the camaro so idk why they had to modify it. They also did not use the brackets that came with the kit, probably why my tailpipes where off

Called concerning my car’s aftermarket test pipes because I thought it was leaking. Whoever answered the phone did not even know what a test pipe was. I mean c’mon this is supposed to be a exhaust shop. Secondly very unprofessional and rude when I asked when I could come in to take a look. Thirdly their welds are terrible. I would highly recommend Rad motorsports, over exhaust systems Hawaii any day.

If i could give them ZERO stars, I would. These guys straight up suck! I paid them a lot of money to install my custom exhaust and they screwed up. But when I mean screwed up, I mean, I could have gone to an auto parts store and done a better job. They are supposed to be professionals, but the only thing professional is how they steal your money.
1. They did not weld my exhaust.
2. They used the wrong adapter for the pipe bender and bent the pipe wrong and caused serious creases on the pipe.
3. They spray painted the pipe black without asking me or letting me know. I think they were trying to hide their crappy work.
It was raining real hard, so I could not inspect the work when they were done, but when I got home I took a look and saw the unprofessional work.
Worst of all, when I took it to another Exhaust Systems Hawaii, the Waipahu guys told them that I had to take it all the way back to Waipahu to get it repaired. I live in Manoa. There is no way in hell I was going to go all the way back there so they could mess it up again. NEVER USE THEM BEWARE. THEY ARE BAD! AND I MEAN BAD!

I went to ESH Waipahu for an estimate the other day. I’ve probably brought about 6 to 7 of my cars there over the years but it just seems like as time goes by, their customer service gets worse and worse. Went in, talked to an angry looking fat guy with gauges in his ears. Didn’t seem like he even wanted to be there and had a very condescending way of talking to you. I went through the motions and got an estimate but after dealing with him, there’s now way I’d go to ESH Waipahu. I’d rather drive to the Moiliili location where it’s smaller but they’re a whole lot nicer.

Overall, wasted my time coming here! A big guy with big ear gauges helped me at the front desk. I told him I my mechanic said the check engine light went on for a Catalytic converter exhausted and wanted a quote of how much it would cost me to fix.
He first said:
WHICH ONE? There is 2 catalytic converter exhausted on my Camry. He told me to call my mechanic. My mechanic was like what the hell they should be able to tell.
So I told the gauges guy to check. And it seemed light he was lazy to check. I felt like he was hinting to me that he doesn’t wanna help me when they have a huge sign outside saying free exhausted inspection.
So he lifts up my car on the machine and showed me where the 2 catalytic converter exhausted are (one in the front & middle)
After showering me he puts the car back down and tells me I can drive it off the machine like hello I’m a chick. I told him I was scared too, so he did. The whole time he was just faking like he wanted to helping me. In the end, he didn’t give me a price quote but just told me it will be expensive.
Come to find out, he was wrong, I only have one catalytic converter.
Rich (tel: 808−946−7110) from exhaust system in town was more intelligent in these kinda of stuff, friendly, and honest. The Waipahu location has bad service and don’t know what their talking about. Although driving to Waiphu is much closer to my house, i rather drive all the way to town to Rich’s shop.

This will not be a Five Star review! NO! Why? Well, their waiting area is not extremely comfortable. Its only comfortable. Their display, while educational, needs to be reorganized to be more effective. I can happy give them Four Stars though.
Exhaust Systems Hawaii is only one block off Nimitz highway. Its location is convenient and easy to find. While its exterior is not elaborate, it states what the business is all about. It is a multi-​bay garage with lots of work going on.
One reviewer stated that «they should have told me it’d be really loud», when referring to the «bigger pipes» he had installed. I had this in mind when I went in. Sure enough, they asked if I wanted to stick to the 2 ½ inch pipes or go larger. He didn’t mention how much louder an increase in the pipe size would make my truck sound, and with an eight cylinder 350 engine, this would be a serious issue. Why didn’t he mention it? He assumed that my knowledge base was sufficient for the question at hand. That was really nice of him. For me, that was fine. For others that would cause major league buyers remorse as they would have to start yelling at their passengers in order to be heard.
TIP: Don’t assume they will tell you what you need to know. These are guys that work with exhaust systems every day. They will assume that the average person’s knowledge base is greater than what it actually is. They are wrong. (Bad assumption on their part is another reason that they only get four stars.)
They did a very good job. Everything works nicely. They clarified what I wanted done at multiple points during their work. With the «extras» available, they asked if I wanted them, yet they did not try to pressure me to make a decision one way or another. They just let me know that the options were available. They were polite. They were clean. They were professional. They will be my first choice if I ever need any future exhaust system work.

Went to get my exhaust welded. The mechanic there said he was about to go on break and told me to wait. «What the heck?» I thought. But after seeing the «are you serious» look I gave him, he decided to squeeze me in before his precious lunch break. After he welded it, which he took 20 seconds to do, I asked if it was safe to drive and if it would fall off or not. The weld looked so bad as if he just did two tacts and didnt bead it all the way around. He told me, «Yah, da thing not going come off.» I took his word, and he was WRONG. Not even 2 months and it fell off while driving on the freeway. Not only was the work bad, but their waiting room and service desk had no employee attending it for customer inquiries. I will never go back to that shop no matter how many more they build on this island.
