If I were you, I would go to every F-body message board out there and tell people to steer clear of that shop. I honestly cannot believe how bad they screwed up your car. God only knows what else they messed up and you haven't seen yet.

Was that exhaust seriously flowing FROM the 3" into the 2.5"?!? How f'ing DUMB is that?!! Those were some pretty sweet looking welds too.........

............yeah man, you've got every right to be absolutely P!$$ED about that. I can't believe the mess of that exhaust. Well, damaging the interior and fenders ain't cool either. Oh, and what exactly did they do to the engine? (send the pic to capn.pete@rogers.com if ya don't mind ).

Sorry to see what those retards did to your car. That's no way to treat anyone's car, let alone a nice SS.

please make people aware of wherever you took the car to, I cant believe that they messed it up like that.

heads would be rolling

that exhaust setup looks like someone didnt care, and the interior, Definately take lots of pictures, (hopefuly you have some before) and get a lawyer.

Keep in mind AFTER the 3 inch to 2.5 inch where the 2.5 actually stuck 4 inches into the 3, then he put the wrong mufflers which were 2.25 inch mufflers! the whole exhaust was one big restriction! I had it all redone now... MUCH better now!... this is her as of now, but up close the paint is still trashed and the panels still stick out...

I have PLENTY before! As far as letting people know, we have a local FBody club with about 500 members on the board... 1st Performance was just kicked off as a sponsor a couple days ago because 7 other FBodies had similar things happen...
