Default My Warranty exhaust Story by Tony Montana

We discovered a Crack in the exhaust manifold. What a lousy sound it made. For a few weeks I had to drive it like that. The car is a 99 Tib, Still full warranty. The header is directly connected to the cat is yours?.
BOOM-New warranty exhaust manifold, BOOM-NEW cat too! If this was not covered by the warranty It would have cost $1200. The dealer service was right on the money today Excellent service & SWEET WARRANTY, still 1 year left!.
Thing is, I am putting on a 4-2-1 & hi flow cat so I will take these stock parts off, they are brand new!
I can almost build a spare Tiburon with all the stock spare parts I got! I just may, but I will make that one remote controll and it will be pimpin

Yeah I am a little shy about the Turbo, I may go Supercharged/NOS.
Plenty of work still to do!
I love this hobby!
