it was like a 10 second job. the raised my car, grabbed a heat gun, and bent it. THAT's IT! and that cost $20? am i gettin ripped off here?

 

It pays to know things.. They charge you by the hour for bodywork but a good bodyman can do it in 10mins not 1hr.

 

$20? They will do that sort of job here for around $5.

 

daymn i hate gettin ripped off...

 

If it was so easy, why didn't you do it yourself???

 

A rip off is when you are being presented with a $200 bill for oil change and x points maintenance inspection that will include only an air filter as additionnal parts. Or a $150 labor charge for a knock sensor change. I would not call a $20 charge a ripoff in your case. To raise a car on a expensive lift alone is worth $10 to me.

 

cuz i don't have a heat gun...

 

So what's cheaper? Buy a heat gun and act like you know what you're doing for 2 hours or just pay the guy $20 and be done with it? If $20 is such a concern, why didn't you 1) ask how much it was gonna cost and 2) shop around?

 

for $20 you could buy yourself one that's not too too bad though so don't worry. your exhaust looks better now right? so no worries.

 

i did ask around, they said $5-10 at most. my friend recommended me the shop. so i went, acceptable customer service. but $20 was just a little bit out of my price range.

oh well whatever, i already paid, i'm satisfy with the alignment of the muffler, and i apologize for ranting to the orgers about it. just sharing my personal experience. alrite you may lock the thread now jeffy...

 

yea i should of buy one. didn't know it's gonna be $20 cuz i thought it's gonna be like $5-10...

oh well, another learning experience

 

if it was out of ur price range you wouldnt have paid it lol but u did so u had the money, all that matters is that u got the job done, and done right, right? btw didnt u try using intake clamps around the rubber hangers to adjust how the muffler sat?

 

nope, never tried it...yet. but that sounds like a great idea actually

but now my muffler is hanging fine, so no need to worry about it

 

Are you sure it's a heat gun and not a TORCH???

 

damn i thought u read that in my axle back threads, its really easy and it worked perfectly my muffler lines up perfect

 

where did you say that thread was?

 

right here bud http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....75#post2654575

 

cool. thanks bro.

 

no problem, ur car looks hot, the chrome accents work well with the chrome stock handles and all is it a 5 spd?

 

Nope. I wish I could . Maybe someday...

p.s. just put on my new Red/Clears... they look really good.

 

i was gonna say, you could do without the altezza'z lol no use for that now i guess good choice

 

you prolly coulda fixed it with 3 $.50 2-3" hose clamps. it worked like a charm on mine.

 

I wanted to ask the same question too, when you said heat gun, did you mean a torch??? lol.

 

i think he meant a torch . . . hehehe
