83 rabbit exhaust-help
Hi all,
I am hoping somebody can give me a bit of advice. Recently the pipe in my exhaust system rusted clean through and was actually dragging under my car. It needed some help so I took it to a local muffler shop. They told me my entire exhaust system was shot and needed replacement. My car is an 83 rabbit and was dragging a rusted pipe around- so I had no doubts that it was. They told me they would replace the whole thing from engine back for just over $300- I said go for it (love my little car). Upon its return I noticed it was rattling a bit (still is) and also seemed a bit louder than it should be so I took a peek under neath to see the handy work. I thought maybe a heat shield was rubbing on the pipe or something. Everything looked fine but I could not help but notice there is now no catalytic converter- just a straight pipe. I am rather upset about it and my question is -should I be?? I am on the verge of calling them but am not sure what I should say. Should I be expected to pay extra to have them put a cat on? I do not want to drive around without one for several obvious reasons. Basically I don't want to chew them out unless they have it coming. Any advise or insight on how to handle this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Chris |
