Default Wow This Looks Terrible

My factory exhaust tip was pretty trashed so i decided to go the a muffler shop and have them weld a new one on. I originally wanted one just like stock but they didnt have one so i just got some simple single dauls. Well long story short is they hang way below the bumper and i hate it. Is there any way they can add an upward facing piece of pipe to it like the stock one had or could they shorten the hangers?

Yeah i guess ill go back and see what they can do about it. They'll prolly charge me but oh well i want it to look good. I already payed them 90 bucks to do it in the first place which in my mind is too much so hopefully they'l be able to do something.

Go back and see if they can shorten the hangar bars but do not agree to pay anymore money. If they will not do it over, go somewhere else that is cheaper.

How much were the tips? $90 sounds like too much for parts and labor to an unsatisfied customer. Don't let your age dictate how they treat you. Your money is just as good as the next guy.

They should do it free of charge since they already over charged....

If not, then do not give them your business and go elsewhere.

hmm, they really should fix that no charge, maybe if you went to a place that your friends go to or maybe they know, just an idea, but when you go to a place of a friends or a place of your friends, they usually do a better job and did someone steal your lexus emblem or something? jw

my civic -550$ needs gas line replaced and gas tank which i give you a new gas tank

!!!
but that accord isnt worth it
9k is ALOT of money for a tuner/project car that only has a intake and flip up screen and air ride.
air ride is expensive but doesnt add up to 9 k with stock car price
