Holy cow that sticks out!
What brand catback is that one? Looks like some pipe cutting is required.

It is a Pacesetter cat-back. Where would the cut be. How much would a place charge me to do something like that?

I would say off your flange off the muffler or on the b pipe, whoever put it on should of known that while he was putting it on, take it back to him.

He said he did cut some off, i guess he just needed a few more inches off though. Is this a hard job/how long would it take a mechnic to do?

Maybe you were sent the 97-99 version. They are generally about 1 to 2 inches longer because the 97-99 rear bumper sticks out further. Nothing a shop with welder couldn't fix.

Meanie.

You should try to take it back and see if he would cut some more off for no charge, I highly doubt he won't charge you, but it's worth a try.

Your ugly on the inside.

The mechnic is a family friend, i am sure he wouldnt charge me much if anything. i wasnt sure how much labor it would be. Ill have that done soon. Thanks for all the input, expect MAXDESTROYER (sweet name BTW, what are you going to be in middle school soon.)
