Guys/Gals...
I attempted to have a local exhaust shop convert my 6 to Duals and I am about at the end of my string.. I need to find/am looking for links to show this idiot that what he is trying to pedal me is bull****. Because I am at the point where I want my money back for this crap job he is trying to pass off as good work.
First as soon as I left the shop I heard clunking like I had a toolbox bumping around in my trunk or somthing. I took the car to another place and asked them to put it on the lift. What I found was that the pipes were not clearing the pumpkin and every bump I take the rear end is crushing the bran new exhaust.
When I took it back this guy made every excuse starting from..Oh you need new shocks or springs .. to how fast do you drive this car to get it to bottom out like this? ... to well I used 2.25" Pipe and there isn't enough room back there to make it work. to which I replied I can't see how when theres Gt's running around with 2.5" Pipes on them.
Most recently I told him I don't understand how there can be no room when it's been done on the GT with a larger rear end. He is telling me that the rear end on my car is the as the GT just the ring and pinion are a different size? Is this true? I don't see how it could be true if it were ...then the rear end would be able to take the same load as the larger one and I know thats not true cus that topic has been debated a million times.
I told him I know this can be done (true dual setup with flowmaster 40's and Hpipe) He answers how can you know that this car is bran new and not many ppl have even changed the exhaust on them. I told him are you kidding me? If you think thats true then you don't keep up with the cars you try to work on cus you can go online and find 500 pictures of people who have done this already.. I am so flipping mad..
Can I demand he put the stock pipes back on? (I kept them specicically for this purpose) and get my money back? I don't know how shops work or what my rights are.. and I might have to get a goddamn lawyer.
Any help would be great. I checked the Ford website but they don't show the dimensions of the rear ends there that I can see.

ill fix it
and a huge difference IMO on the sound because he put the crossover pipe in like I had asked for in the beginning.
