ok so i went to this place road runner muffler today. now my dc sports headers has 2 huge dents in them so i got an h22 downpipe a stock one with flex (now for sale) and i went to take it to road runner to get a headerback exhuast installed... well he said he doesnt mess with headers. soo i took it down the street and drove all over the place trying to find someone to install the downpipe first. i finally foudn this place.
so they said 60 bucks. but then they found they couldnt unbolt the header from underneath because the oilpan was in the way so they said 80
so they let it cool and they find out that the gasket is bad on the h22 downpipe and the one from my downpipe doesnt fit.... so they get black silicone and put it on thier and bolt up the exhuast. they lower the car so i can take it to road runner down the street. it hits the ground and the most horrible thing happens.
my car is lowered so much that the stock downpipe touches the ground. oh shit i thought now im fucked...
they cant even get it off the lift. and its getting time till close, so then i ask them what to do and theyve already taken it all apart. so now im like great im fucked 30 minutes away from home. then the guy tells me he can put the old ones back on but thats pointless because the old ones have 2 huge dents in the pipes. so he says he cant fix the dents because the downpipe is aluminum but he can cut and weld the other downpipe but that is goign to be expensive and not today.
eventually we find out that the dc sports downpipe isnt aluminum and he can cut it fix the dents and reweld.
so im like ahh shit i have to leave the car here plus its gonna be expensive. i talk to the guy for a while and he asked me what i wanted done at the other shop and i told him. He was also a muffler guy but i didnt know how good he was, well hes been working as a muffler guy for 15 years and knows alot about exhuast and sound and performance. so i told him that instaed of taking it to road runer id pay him to do the whole exhuast too and that way i could give him more money but get it done cheaper all together. but i told him i wanted it to soudn good like a subaru. And he starts making noises of cars like raspy honda civics bwahhhh and stuff and im like no no. and then hes like ahh you want like this wahhhh wahhhh. and im like yeah yeah. so he says hes going to reweld my downpipe, put in my old 18 resonater. get rid of the huge flowmaster muffler and do 2 inch pipe from the header to the resonater then 2 1/4 from the resonater to the muffler and he said he'll install a new muffler also...
so my dad is thier freaking out cuz hes paying for it as a my birthday/christmas present and it seems like its gonna be alot of money. i asked him how much nad he says it normally would be about 400 dollars... eek! but he said he will do it for 250.
so the day turned out good but it was so stressful and my friend had to come pick me and my dad up from this place.... i cant wait to hear it ill post a vid....
