my guess is the exhaust shop is making excuses because they do not want to put an aftermarket cat on the car.
Wanting a nice set of black 17's with mint tires? Pm me.
If I remember correctly, I have the 91035 model. Its short, Its definately not 16".
I get a CEL from time to time, but I think its because I toasted the sensor when i transfered the pipes from my Sunfire to my Cav. I never got a CEL on my 'fire.
This was years ago, so I may be incorrect on the model number, but I know mine is a magnaflow cat, and its not 16" in length. I remember it being the 91035, but I have been known to be wrong.
Also, I apologize not getting back to you sooner about the 'fire, my dad ended up helping my bro get a car, an '01 Cav no less. Im jealous its the blue color I wanted.
What shop are you using? I might be using a shop to do mine again. I plan on getting a new Pacesetter header, cutting off the collector, getting an adapter to make it 2.5" and running 2.5" piping. The last time I had a shop do the work I found out it was shotty after about 4 months of having it on the car. Now I'm fighting with it hanging off the car and such, it sucks. So I'd like to take it to somewhere that will do the work correctly.
That should work it simply has a 02 fitting right on it instead of someone welding one on the pipe directly after it. I'd bet money its because you were a chick and they have to fill out the warranty card whenever installing a aftermarket cat, its federal law
400 is a bit high id say 250 or so to do all that as its prob 2-3 hours of labor and most charge 100 per hour, worst case take a dude along with you (he doesnt even have to know anything about cars) and if the muffler guy starts giving you @!#$ just have the guy instructed to flip out. Works every time

not to be a jerk, but have your dad,brother,bf,etc go to the shop with you, those guys can be such @!#$s to chicks.
most exhaust shop 'experts' like to tell you that you dont know what your doing regardless of sex. its actually a big problem IMO.

i would say have them install the header first, maybe the cat section as well and see how they do on that. (the cheap place) then go from there...

I can give you the number of my mechanic, and maybe he can refer you to a good shop. I know he wont do the exhaust work, he's not a welder of any kind. But I have used him to refrence me to other shops before and I've gotten great work done.
My brother is having the same issue with his headers for his 3800 s/c, $400 for install PLUS the exhaust.
Me on the other hand, Ill slap the header on, drive with it open like that to whereever, and get the work done. I dont care so much ;P.
I HATE the "Exhaust works" They overquoted me 2 times and couldnt give me any kind of estimate on anything over the phone. The guy is a pompus prick to say the least.
What is the name of the shop youre thinking about going to? and was it $150 out the door? Or was it $150 labor plus piping and parts?

. I am going to keep the Sedan for my mom because her '98 is getting up there in miles that way she won't have to have a car payment for a long long time.
and I just didn't like the way the guy I talked to was treating me and the stuff he was saying about the parts not fitting properly and all when I know damn well everything will fit just fine. I'll let you know how it goes with the shop here in Sandwich *crosses fingers*...
! I'm going to try the shop here in Sandwich today. Hopefully I have better luck there.
. I need to get this exhaust stuff installed ASAP.
