This morning I noticed that my exhaust tip on the passenger side was lower the the drive side. As I looked I could see what the problem was. The exhaust was off the hanger clip causing it to be lower. I sure it has been that way for a few weeks now, but after seeing it this morning it really bugged the crap out of me. The drive into work and all day at work just know that my exhaust was messed up was driving me crazy.

I know the fix was something I could have fixed very easily when I got home, but I did not feel like messing with it so I took it to a shop that is a hop skip and a jump away from where I work to see if they could fix it. They took my car around to lift and lifted it up. I am inside looking out a window watch my car. I turned around for a second and when I turned back around to look at my car there were 8 people looking at the underside of my car including the boss. There were pointing out the headers, exhaust, and cutouts that I have.

One of the 8 guys looks at me through the window and calls me into the shop area. They show me what they had to do to fix the car and after that was said they all looked at me and asked if I would open the cutouts. Now if your like me you love to talk about your car when someone asks about it. I looked at them and said "Yeah I'll open up for you guys." They were all so excited and smiling. Then they asked about seeing the engine, so I opened the hood up and said "there's nothing special by looking at the engine, but it does have a cam in it."

I started the car and they were all smiling. I open the cutouts and they were grinning from ear to ear

. We kept talking about the car and what kind of plans I had for it and I told them. Well 15 minutes later I needed to go. I asked the guy how much do I owe you. He said "If you open the cutouts up and take off we will call it even." I was like DONE!

.

I told them that I would go past their shop and turn around at my workplace where they could see me and take off from there and pass there shop with speed. Now remember there are people in the shop waiting to get helped and all 8 of the guys are outside watching me lol. So I get to me work and turn around and wait for a big opening and take off. I get sideways for a few second spinning tires and start going through the gears. I pass there shop at the end of 3rd and going into 4th. I look over at the guys as pass and half are

and the other half are

. Best experience so far of owning my camaro for close to a year now.

Would love to hear other peoples stories.

When I installed my Corsa catback I installed the system in about 25 minutes but took 2 hours adjusting it to look even. Then I drove it and had to do a couple of adjustments again. Now it looks even.
