I bought a really nice stainless steel cat-back exhaust made by Gibson. Couldn't put it on myself, I'm friends with a guy that owns and runs a body shop. I dropped the truck off to have it installed and here is what they told me via email...
"...We’ve had it up for the exhaust. That ended up being a bit more labor intensive because it was already changed once and the flange has been cut off the catalytic converter. It had to be modified to install the new exhaust..."
Can someone explain to me what he meant regarding the flange being cut off? If I understand correctly, that section of the system had been replaced (which I knew already) and to make it fit the shop that did it basically cut the outlet portion of the catalytic converter off. Does this sound right? If I had known this I would have gladly brought them a new catalytic converter or just told them to cut it off altogether. Any input would be appreciated!
