I finally after a long wait was getting my exhaust done.
Well I waited around only to waste money and end up with crap.
Let me start off with saying my original quote was 150 or so.. Came to 233.20 all in all.
The "custom" tailpipes were 115. Said "custom" tailpipes were some pre-bent, not even mandrel bent, crap that was then "bent" for side not rear exit.
I say "bent" cause after looking under the truck I found this..


It looks like where he bent the pipe it has no room to breath.
Would this be reason for the whole system being really quiet? It's 2.5" in dual 2.25" out cherry bomb extreme (tiny muffler) with a gutted cat and I can't even hear the exhaust till its gettin close to the redline.
So if this dude won't fix the **** he did, is there somewhere I can get a universal kit that's just the tails and not a muffler n stuff.
I'll I have more pictures of the kinked pipe and other crap tomorrow too, like the muffler so close to the drive shaft that it's dented and the shaft is painted red now. The cat was too close too the transfer case and dug into the TC. The pipes are so close to the bed at one spot I think it has to hit with any flex. And of course things like brake lines being really close to pipe and the axle vent tube actually rubbing on the tail pipe.
Just about the only thing this guy managed to do right was get the exits in a 45 degree type exit.

 

 

You're tellin me dude.
Worst part is, I start class thursday. Med school doesn't allow much down time to be getting my truck worked on.

 

 

wow

 

dam. that sucks! Im so nervous to have a shop do my exhaust work, for this exact reason.. Whatever shop i take it to will have to guarantee their work/fix it if im not happy with it

 

It raining for a moment so I'm gunna take a whack at getting more pictures if my camera is charged.

 

Where did you get that done at ? You sure it was a muffler shop ? Why was flex even used, or is that something you did and they added to it ? ? ?

Iduno, something isn't right here lol.

 

that is why you check the work before you pay...

 

There is no flex pipe..?
Heres the album, not gunna post all the pics. Feel free to look http://s1126.photobucket.com/albums/...n_Kline/Truck/

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.

 

If he hadn't said it would be originally I wouldn't of gone there anyway.
Someone else quoted me 300, but that was better pipe and fully welded.
There's another place that will be fixing this mess if need be, I just couldn't get my gutted cat put on there since he does the emissions stuff for my truck.

 

Heck champions here in okc charged me 220 to install hiflo cats, x pipe and muffler with all new piping Then another 200 for headers install. I highly recommend them. They did a outstnding job

 

After I got my bill and looked online I got really mad, I could of bought a jegs catback kit, and my cherry bomb muffler and still been under the 230 I paid for this ****.

 

wow thats horrible..they didnt even weld anything!

 

I'm fine with it not being welded. I'm not fine with what I paid for it not being welded.
