thanks.
There is never any shame in not know or not having the resources to do something and paying for it to be done. None at all. It just makes it harder when I get the “$700 for an exhaust is way more than this $350 one I can get on ebay and bolt on in a few hrs.”
They fail to realize that mass produced items took alot of R&D, bulk pricing, etc to get that part at that price. And like they said “a few hrs to bolt on” Well add those few hrs on becasue I have to remove and piece by piece make the new stuff from scratch. then remove fully weld and reinstall for atleast a 3rd time. Not to mention overhead costs just to have a place to attempt said job.
