Default Put on my new exhaust today.

Traded my TSP Rumbler for a SLP dual/dual and finally got it on today, took it to a local shop to get it welded.

My friend's SS went up on the lift first, exhaust installed with no issues.

I was next, the car goes on the lift and he mates up the Y and over the axle pipes, and starts to hang the muffler and tips.

All of a sudden the guy just EXPLODES!
"GOD F$^*ING DAMMIT, I HATE THESE F%^&ING CARS, EVERY F!%&ING ONE OF THEM!"
Proceeds to kick a couple of muffler stands over and the C-clamps lying on the ground.

I was just outside the garage silently monitoring, just in case he decided to throw my exhaust or smash my car or something...

He was throwing a huge hissy fit about how the right side of my car didn't have the hangers on the same spot as the SS car (2000).

All he had to do was cut off the hanger on the right tip, and re weld it back about half a foot to where I had my last exhaust hanging.

Instead it takes him another 20 minutes to weld the holy hell out the original hanger to any piece of frame he can reach.

I'll have to get pictures and sound clips tomorrow, I like this exhaust, its pretty quiet, even with LTs and ORY!

EDIT: Pics and video!

When I got it:


10 minute clean up:


Installed:






Welded straight to the frame:


Can't upload the video, can anyone help?
Tried youtube and tinypic, takes forever then does nothing.

Rumbler was hard to make the tips straight, the bullet in the I pipe was kinda low for my taste since I want to drop the car quite a bit.

Little loud for LT's and ORY.
