My Loudmouth fell off!

Hey guys I need some advice. I was taking a buddy of mine for a ride tonight. So he wanted to feel a little LS1 power so I got on it and shifted decently hard into 2nd. Next thing I know all hell breaks loose behind the car. I first thought it snapped the driveshaft. But I pulled the car over and got out to look. There is my drivers side tailpipe laying on the ground. The tip is torn to all hell and back and when I hooked it back up the left pipe hangs about 2 inches lower then the right pipe. Should I go to the place that installed this 5 months ago and raise hell or just suck it up and get a new set of tips?

pretty unlikely they'll fix it after 5 months....I wouldn't even ask, just suck it up

I would go back to the place that installed it. If they remember you or you have a reciept, they might sympathize and fix it with a discount. They put it on and it fell off. I'm sure they don't want you going around and badmouthing their shop!

Yep that's what I would try.

I would think they may look after you for nothing.

If it had been installed correctly it wouldn't have fallen off.

Wow man that sucks. But like has already been said, go back and be nice and they should fix it for you. If not, THEN raise hell
