Stupid muffler shops......

[darkkhild79]

ok I went to some muffler shops and they were all about tell me that a 2.25" is too big for the car and running it over the rear tire area is going to be a pain at that size and what not.....
So what gives when you can go and buy a CAT BACK for $273.95 for a flowmaster 60 series and bolt it right up.
Reason is I have a Borla Universal and was wanting to put that on in place of doing a catback. I am I just not seeing something here or are the setups you guys running not the right size, like a 1-7/8" is the right size according to them...
Any help is a pleasure!!!!!

You don't go over the rear tire.

Mine's 2 1/2" from the headers on back, those guys are trippin brother! I have 4-2-1 headers, a high-flow cat and a catback with a 4 1/2" outlet, everything was direct bolt-on. I say go somewhere else where the people know what they're talkin about and get done proper. Later.

X2^ I can drop the entire exhaust from the DP back out from under the car in one piece. I'm running 60 mm (2 3/8") with no problem. I'd go back to the shop and talk to whoever is above whoever you talked to. Tell them you don't appreciate being treated as if you were stupid. Point out that the exhaust doesn't go over anything under the car. explain that you're looking to spend some money, but you'll go to another shop that knows what they're talking about and spend money there instead. Tell them you'll be sure to recommend NOT going to them to all your friends. Raise some hell about it, maybe you'll get them to give you a deal.

those guys are parts changers , probably need to back to Wyotech and retake the exhaust class

That's some funny shit dude! If you have a way to lift your ride up and the proper tools you could actually do the exhaust upgrade yourself, screw them other guys! Save the $ and buy some more pieces to put on your car.

i did the same thing that Visualpoet did, dropped everyone in one piece by the hangers. only took like 45 minutes to do everything too.

I have 2.5" myself. Took the shop 30 minutes to do it, no questions asked.

If they say it'll be too hard to do, DON'T GO THERE! If they don't think they can do it, they're likely to screw something up. I don't know what... but don't risk it. Muffler shops are a dime a dozen, and as long as you're getting cheap crush-bent muffler shop stuff, it doesn't really matter WHO does it.
