The muffler was bad but they wanted to replace the whole exhaust pipe. They argued that the exhaust pipe was so rusty that they couldn't remove the muffler without damaging the pipe. Upon inspection the exhaust pipe when my car was up on the lift, I insisted that only the muffler be replaced. They finally installed the muffler after giving all these bulls**t about my having to install a new pipe very soon. Well, it has been a year and the exhaust pipe is doing ok. I guess it's the Midas touch! Everything they touch turns into dollars out of your pocket. liem
