I love the cuts in the shielding where they cut the exhaust off. That's what really makes it look professional.

lol...i dont know how much room around the top there is but its has to be a semi difficult weld around the top of the pipe...
there is no excuse for the sawzall line in the heat shield though...
and for the part of the weld that i can see..have they ever heard of a wire wheel or a grinder..would have made it easier for the weld to stick..
when it all comes down to it...you get what you pay for..for a meineke price your going to get meineke job..
for the price it probably costed i would expect that weld..its ugly and a mess but it doesnt leak..

not always....i got ripped for 350 bucks to weld my I pipe to the over axle, and then weld me up a hanger.
What I got was that they reused the hanger I made, and welded the over axle pipe, on top of the extra 24 miles they put on the car....doooooooooooooooooooouche bags.

Yeah its a difficult weld...if you do it on the car...i did mine off the car. Makes the job like 200 times easier and you would never know my cat was cut off the y pipe and welded back on...
those welds look like dog ****! Â*:barf:
Too bad it didn't come out looking like this

I've told you i have a blown head gasket and the coolant is leaking onto the header I mean manifold and burning off creating steam that comes up near the cowl...I'll get it fixed asap.
