    The Baltimore Situation

    Hello all. I've finally figured out what I want to do to my Marauder (Silver Hawk) lol but I don't think I want to go to this shop for one thing and another shop for something else as I've done in the past. I live in Baltimore MD and would like to know if there is a decent shop that has the know how as well as expierence to do everything or will I be doomed to having my Marauder go from shop to shop like a loose women lol..

    Well ctrlraven first I want a cold air intake and new air filter though I've been having this tug of war between K&N and JLT but I can do that myself. I want to get it tuned to get rid of that hesitation it has when in acceleration. X-Pipe is must and as far as paint I don't really have any needs but I do want to get the grille painted so if u can recommend a good paint shop Joe Walsh that would be great. I think eveything I want done is fairly simple I think it's just I don't want to have to travel all over MD.

    For exhaust work I recommend MBS in Pasadena, MD. Nate and DOOM have both used them for work, I know 2 guys personally that work there.

    Address: 2539 Mountain Road Pasadena, MD 21122
    Phone (410) 360-7106

    Ask for Greg or Kurtis, tell them Chris with the Marauder sent you.

    As far paint can't beat what a dealership can do usually.

    What color is your MM? If it's silver I would suggest getting another grille to paint that way you have the original black one if you ever need it.

    Right that's what I was thinking but I don't like it one bit. I think the black grille with the outside being the same color as the body paint is on point..

    I recovered a stolen Marauder from Baltimore County in Baltimore City. The owner went into the city because he needed something repaired and it was cheaper in the city. Long story short, the black Marauder was stolen from the repair shop. I say it was an inside job if you ask me.
