What’s up team.
Had a bad vibration/ticking under my 16 GSF. Originally thought it was a bent heat shield touching the exhaust. Took it in to a local dealer and they diagnosed it as a weld on a mid-pipe busted. Quoted me…$4,200 for the job.
Was about to take it to a welder but decided to ask about warranty. My advisor initially said no but looked into it for me (awesome dude). Ended up getting a new mid-pipe under powertrain because he said the mid-pipe was close enough to the cats to qualify.
Didn’t think it would qualify. Got blessed today.

Wow damn. $4200 just for a Mid-pipe?
Glad it worked out for you!
Meanwhile I am waiting for my new exhaust system

$4200 is crazy. You can get the PPE with GESI cats, which flows better, for $1800.
