Hole in Exhaust...Help!!!!!!
I know you guy's remember me complaining about how sluggish my 2k auto se was so i took it to the dealer today and they looked at it. He said the reason why i'm losing power is because problem my exhaust has a hole in it and i need a new one!! He said that it will be $427. I originially bought it in today to have him do the slipping tranny but i told him my other problem also. I think all that he did was diagnose the exhaust problem and didn't touch my tranny!!! He said that it's ready for pick up now but he didn't do the exhaust because they gotta order the part. I said don't do it cuz i cant cough up 400 dollars anyway. I'm about to go pick up my sluggish max. Anybody have any suggestions to a cheaper alternative? Why isn't this covered under warranty? Anybody had a similar problem? Car only got 56,610 miles on it!!!
All suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

go after market on exhaust!!!!
the whole idea to upgrade exhaust is to allow more flow and reduce back pressure
Have them do the ecu upgrade and call it a day!!!
I need to do that will it cost me much $$$$
I have over 100000 miles

I also went to the Dealer for the Hesitation TSB and discovered that I had a hole in my exhaust; the dealer quoted the same price for the exhaust, but i wasn't about to pay it. The hole was near the right rear tire; I took it to a local mechanic, he cut the bad section out and welded a new section in there; it sounds so much better. I was embarrassed by the nasty sound i was getting with the hole. The total cost for replaced the small section was $45. I'm very satisfied.
