new exhaust, funny story

[TSImonkey]

So i finally got around to installing my new 2.5" turbo back. Consists of a 2.5" punishment racing down pipe, which i love, nice clean finish, quick shipping, great bang for the buck, good quality, Magnaflow cat, and custom 2.5" piping from the cat back to a performance muffler. I had an exhaust shop install it for me, but boy did they f*** up . check this out

They tell me to come back in about 3 hours and they'll have it all installed. i go back in under 3 hours hoping to see how they're doing, make sure the welds are nice, and all that business. so i go under the lift and i see 2.5" piping from the cat..connected to about 8 inches of STOCK piping, connected once again to 2.5" piping....i was like..WTF ...the reason why they left a section of the stock pipe you ask?? because they couldn't get the O2 sensor out.
So i was like..why the hell didn't you call me and tell me what the deal is instead of leaving it there, i told them to heat the mother up and get it out of there and put in a new section. which they did. So they welded everything back in, and everything seemed fine and the bolts "seemed" secure.

an hour later i passed by my friends house to show off the new investment...as I'm doing a pass by and all i hear is a "metal falling to the ground" sound...By now I'm just like ..YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! Turns out the bastards FORGOT!!! to tighten the two bolts holding the down pipe and the cat!!!! and one of the bolts fell off.....it fell off...it fell the hell off!! Can you believe this !?!?! next day i put the car on my jack, got under, luckily i found the bolt on the street, so i got under tightened the bolts made sure everything else was tightened, and long behold..the idiots forgot to weld on a secure mount by the O2 sensor, so the Cat section just kind of wiggles....

I cant believe people are so F'ing stupid. next Saturday I'm going back to them and telling them to fix all those problems because its pathetic. I just thought i would share my story with you guys, let me know what you think.

Here's a link to my photobucket , you can check out the pics of the whole setup, and i have a video clip of it too. let me know what you think.

Ok, thought about those grounding straps, on your stock exhaust system you have a sensor on your cat. well lets say for some odd reason you have an open somwheres on your electrical system. all of your sensors are (supoost to be) prescise measuring. so you get a surge of electrical current to anyone sensor and your ECU may compensate for something that wasnt needed. see what im saying.
