I suggest that you let us know where you are located. Click on User CP (upper left corner) then click on Edit Your Details. Scroll down to Additional Information and enter your location, then Save Changes. If we know where you are, we might be able to find a shop near you that can help.
Best of luck.

Try another muffler shop, one not part of a chain. Any decent shop can make/tweak/bend/flare/somethingoranother to get you on the road. Unbelievable that the chain guys sent you away. Apparently, not enough profit in the job to make it worth their while.Ed
To measure is to know.

Try showing up 5 minutes before closing time with a case of beer. Don't go in and talk to the manager, just walk to the shop doors, find the guy with the most grit on his clothes and ask if he likes free beer. I am 2 for 3 for easy custom fab stuff, though I must admit it was for my kids trampoline. If they shoot you down, consider it free beer for you, no harm, no foulLast edited by Guest; 06-10-2010, 09:06 AM.

You've got your work cut out for ya dude. Do a search.. Lots and lots of info on this subject.
I busted a tap in one of mine. Used a center punch to bust it up peice by peice using a magnet to remove the bits untill the hole was clean.
PITA
Oh, and stop trusting the min wage idiots that work behind the counter.
Do your own research. You'll learn alot more because you're the one that made effort.Last edited by Octain; 06-10-2010, 05:05 PM.sigpic
