The shop is "the fix it shop" and isn't a fulltime garage but a capable garage. Don't know what happened here. They were probably too busy jizzing over their new drag car motor to care about my truck.
Oh and ignore my rust issue on the bed supports, believe me I know it's there.
So after all that crap is fixed, will there be some sound to it? I don't want it to be as loud as the dumped straight pipe like before, but right now its purely quiet. Almost stock sounding.
Oh, yea it looked like a form of flex pipe by the clamp. So that's from the bend then lol, - geeezzz..Yea, these tailpipes have allot of bends factory. I'd want it all mandrel bent for sure. Looks like a do over IMO.

I know you can order Tail-pipes @ Rock Auto now. But I don't know what type of bend is offered. Might want to check that out.

It's some crinkle bend type stuff that was pre bent for some other vehicle, had hangers welded on from factory and the guy cut em off. He then did his "bends" cause I asked for 45'd exits.
If I do get new stuff I'm gunna get 2.5" bent the same way, but done right.
If it's cheaper I'll get something prebent and get it done by a good shop to be 45'd

I would seriously think about small claims court. That work is crap and not what you asked for I am sure. I don't think anyone that can see would approve. I would also call your better business bureau. Notify others before they have the same **** work done.

Holy crap that is a hack job and a half for an exhaust system it kinda looks like they just pieced it together with parts from a store like jc penny and such lol. I would go back and talk to someone on a like the manager if you can. even though it may be a part time shop I doubt he would want his name on a job like that one...

I've sen a lot worse installs in my days. Assuming you have a 302 and these are a dual system, there's not a lot of restriction especially for a stock engine. In regards about the Cheery Bombs, they will be quiet when you first install them. After a couple of thousand miles you'll be rattling the neighbors windows once they've blown out.

It's an inline six, so says my signature. It's a chambered muffler, not a glasspack.
This is not a system, was supposed to be custom.
The problem is here, the guy that owns the shop is gary haluska http://www.pahouse.com/haluska/ The state freakin representative. Sadly he did not do this exhaust or we wouldn't be here right now, his jack *** of a son did it.
I'm gunna go over and talk to gary himself and see what he has to say.
Also my truck goes for inspection tomorrow, we'll see what they have to say about this ****.

I'm assuming since you don't care about the rust, they didn't figure you cared about the quality of work...

Whose to say I don't care about the rust? Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a nice short bed up this way, it's half past impossible.
Anyone that degrades their quality of work because of the vehicle it is going on oughta be shot. Just because my bed supports are rusted does not mean I do not care about my truck or the quality of parts that go on it. This is the first thing anyone but myself has done to the truck in 2 years. The truck itself is 4 years older than me, I can't control that rust. Guess I need to learn how to bend pipe too.
I am from cambria county if that means anything.
