When you do go to get your exhaust system fixed, stay away from Brake Check on 16th & Center st. The con artist there quoted me a price for an entire exhaust system from chrome tailpipe all the way to CC replacement with a resonator. When I picked up my truck, all they did was the muffler & chrome tip. The whole exhaust pipe was rusted & holey & the CC was still there. I complained to the guy that gave me the quote, & he denied what he had originally told me.
I still needed the exhaust pipe replaced, so they took off my CC, replaced the pipe & welded it to my old cc. I didn't notice that they had done this until 6 months later when I rented a bay at U-wrench to replace the clutch.
Because I couldn't disconnect the pipe at the cc, I had to un bolt the exhaust system at the manifold to get the transmission out. What a royal pain in the ass. The icing on the cake was a big blob of grease on my arm rest. What the hell do muffler mechanics use grease for anyway?
I will never go back to that place & will forever give them negative publicity.
