Today I was supposed to get the exhaust on. It did not happen. Instead, I had an adventure that took me all over northwest Wyoming/ Southern Idaho.
I showed up at the fabrication shop that was going to to the welding. I sit around for 15 mins or so, when the mechanic calls me into the garage. He then procedes to show me that I ordered the wrong muffler (I got offset/center, we need offset/offset or the tip doesn't match up with the notch in the bumper). He then tells me that he can't make the bend above the axle for the second pipe. So, basically, I'm SOL.
I make it home, and then procede to call every exhaust shop within 100 miles to see if they sell
flowmaster. A midas in Idaho Falls says that not only do they have the mufflers, but they can install it today. I make the drive over there, only to be told that not only they can NOT do the install today, but they don't even carry Flowmaster. They are also out of their performance muffler ("Ravin'"). Also, even if they did have the stuff, they won't use any of the parts i brought, such as the X pipe. I go outside, and call another muffler shop 50 miles down the road. They sell
magnaflow and flowmaster (seeing a trend here?). I arrive there, and am informed that they do indeed have the mufflers, but will not sell them to me, nor will they be able to install them. Long story a little shorter, I wind up going to 4 muffler shops who all do not carry the offset/offset i needed. So I am now the proud owner of two Magnaflow 2.5" mufflers. Ugh.
