White Upgrade
White, my civic hatch, went through an upgrade. From stock muffler to a free flow muffler.

I brought it to a highly recommended muffler shop (FreMuff). They looked at the muffler I want installed and said that this one was originally mounted to a toyota. But they said that it can be mounted. So they went ahead in installing. But instead of explaining to me what will be done, the mechanic went ahead and chopped the tip off the old pipe to be able to use the old elbow for the new pipe. Darn! Now, if I have to put back the stock pipe, it has to be welded on again. They even charged me extra 150 pesos for the mountings. Guess what, instead of adapting the mounting the bracket properly, the mechanic just welded 2 pieces of metal rod to the muffler.

What's more is that, the mechanic measures with his fingers instead of a ruler. He welds without proper clothing, no apron and no smoked welding glasses.

Bottom line, I paid a hefty price for a welding job. I should try Nodalos next time.
