Freakin 60 dollars.

To re-align my tips. Just got the new bumper on finally and the tips that hung below the v6 bumper are now off center to the cut outs in the GT bumper. I took it to a shop here and they said $60 to re align them, simple because it would take about 3 hours because they would have to heat the metal to bend the piping that hangs down.

It just sucks that its going to cost that much. Especially when I lower my car, I'm going to have to get the pipes redone again-considering the fact that the headers will more than likely scrape.

gotta pay to play

if u left it alone u wouldn't be bitching about it though, cause who gives a shit about stock exhaust allignment on a 6er

Dansby · October 27th, 2008, 04:04 PM

Way to be a d bag out it. Only reason I put the aftermarket exhaust on anyways is because both manifolds broke lose and it was going to cost the same to fix those as it was to go with the aftermarket exhaust. Then I got rear ended and their insurance payed for the bumper. Now the situation before you go bashing.

apparently he does
and i would too

just because its a six doesnt mean you arent allowed to fix shit

G.T. Rags · October 27th, 2008, 04:07 PM

i wasn't bashing asshat, simply stating the facts.

ur car got messed up but YOU chose to fix it with aftermarket parts

i know exactly what happened to your car... your still the one who makes the final decision of what it gets replaced with. I'm gonna let the insult slide, and your quickness to snap go based on the fact your having unwanted bills laid on you....

that was a very demello way to respond man

ur not getting me, i was talking about the stock exhaust. it's a turn down and very difficult to tell if it's missaligned properly.

i simply meant that if he didn't want unwanted bills, when he fixed it he should have fixed it OEM, not modified it. I never said he couldn't mod his 6

if he would have left the stock exhaust there he wouldn't be having this problem at all, now would he?

so, once again, "gotta pay to play"

Point taken. I'm just stuck at home sick and can't go to work today and then I got this, haha. Just sucks. I'm just going to wait until I do my suspension I think...

+1

my cats have needed removing for the past year and i haven't done it, cause theres an issue in the car that caused them to go wrong in the first place and i can't fix that until i find a t-45/3650 for cheap....

modding is a pain in the ass sometimes, and really doesn't always pay off until the end, if at all

Dansby · October 27th, 2008, 04:19 PM

I know it isn't going to pay off for me, but I atleast want my car to LOOK good while I have it. Suspension and wheels and I'm done, haha.

yojoe600 · October 27th, 2008, 04:29 PM

AtlanticBlue99 · October 27th, 2008, 04:33 PM

true, maybe 1 at most

G.T. Rags · October 27th, 2008, 04:42 PM

he brought it to white_fang's shop?

and does it really matter if he's only charging him for 1 hour

maybe he meant he wouldn't have it done for 3 hours

buddyantunez1 · October 27th, 2008, 04:43 PM

post a pic of how far off it is. i have a GT rear on mine and my driver side hangs down about 1/2'' and sits futher in by about and inch. if someone was really looking for it they could spot it but its not that huge of a deal. im just going to adjust the hanger one of these days to try and fix it.

we had it temp. fixed by lightly jacking on the muffler until it sat almost perfect back came back down over time.

GreenFaleen · October 27th, 2008, 05:13 PM

Dansby · October 27th, 2008, 05:56 PM
