Alright I took my jeep to an exhaust place and they guy bitched me out about the motor needing 3 cats and a bunch of other bullshit. He also said that he needed special corvette exhaust flanges. What is he talking about?

Sounds like an idiot that really doesn't want to work on your vehicle.

I'm just pissed because I told the guy exactly what I wanted and what I had yesterday and he told me that he could do it. So I trailered it over last night and now he's bitching about it. I'll ask him if he knows of an exhaust place that does more than just bolt **** on.

I beg to differ Check your FACTS. It is illegal to move the cats from their original location in all 50 states. This makes all LT's illegal even emmisions style. Most inspection shops don't know this or overlook it if emmisions are still in place.

Thats why I'm using stock exhaust manifolds for now. I took my lt's off. I'm basically asking him to make a stock exhaust setup that wont hit my front driveline.

if you search around you'll eventually find a shop to do it. I had many shop managers telling me they couldn't fab an exhaust because I didn't want cats. I found one willing to do it after some searching around.

Take your jeep to a speed shop that can custom fab you an exhaust system. You are wasting your time taking it to a general muffler shop like that.

Don't need cats for off road use. Trailer the car, and tell the idiot it's a race car.

This shop actually does custom exhaust work, but not when it's inconvenient for them . I told the guy to treat it like an offroad vehicle and make the exhaust, but then he said that I would need a green sticker first. Total bs. I found another shop that would do it, but he wants me to go to the referee and get a paper saying exactly what I need. Even though I told him how to do it, he still wants me to go because it will "save me money." Why cant you just pay someone to do what you tell them? If I wanted to puts cats and cutouts on my f-ing lawnmower I don't see why the hell I wouldn't be allowed to.
