Default Found out why my cat install was cheap!

Had a 2.5" Magnaflow cat installed a few months back, for I think $200.

Had a peak under recently, and worked out why the install was cheap!



The damn thing is leaking at the flange, and sounds like a demented tractor, and what you can't see in the pic, is where he's attempted to weld the bolt for whatever reason. Mind you, I went back twice complaining of the exhaust leak, and both times he put it up on a hoist, and told me that's what extractors, cat & exhaust sounds like on these things!

Looks like he's simply used a piece of my old cat pipe and flange - when new 2.5" pipe and a flange would've been like $10 in parts - had he asked, would've been more than happy to pay extra.

BTW, reckon my trans is leaking?!!!
