my muffler rotted plum off. After a couple weeks of the coat hanger thing I went to a shop that I had good experience with before and had them run pipe straight back (with a few necessary bends). Later I discovered that the 3 feet of new pipe that they put on is 1 3/4 diameter and not the 2 1/2 diameter that all the stock pipe is.
I have had several arguments with them about the suibablity of the smaller pipe. They are telling me that it shouldn't affect much and are not likely to replace it.
So, am I way out of line? it seems like madness to me to have a smaller diameter pipe on something that is so dependent of gulping air and expelling it like a turbo diesel and I should be insisting on the correct diameter pipe.
They said to come back with my recibt and they will do something. I suspect that we will argue some more and then they will want to hand my money back and wack their new work off.
Any comments? let is ride/ or insist on the regular size pipe
