:iagree:....Definitely an installer error. Slip joints allow for plenty of in and out without cutting...(it's hard to find good help these days. This should have been a no-brainer)

They cut that **** instead of attempting to refit? holy crap, what a bunch of c**nts

Any Monkey can turn a wrench I guess

i've got a better idea. you've already forgotten the name of the shop, now forget about going back there ever again. if they can't handle a simple install like this without butchering it, god help you when they get to more...difficult installations.

Obviously Not Everyone!!!

Blind and stupid ones perhaps

Is there any way fixing it without cutting ?

heat up the brackets with a torch and bend them in the direction that move the muffler back some.

wow... this is one reason why i do my own installs...

There is no reason this should have been cut at all.. this is an installation error.

The slip joints allow for flexibility, and should be loosened and adjusted to bring the tips in.

Then the muffler shop should ******* kill themselves.:mad:

+1

You've got to be kidding me. Totally unnecessary. :facepalm:

Let's hope this shop doesn't decide to get into hair cutting.

Customer: "Hey guys my hair is too long please cut it!"

"ok we'll fix it lol"

*cuts off customers' head*

I read somewhere once you tighten down those slip clamps, it basically makes a lock between the outter and inner pipes (bends the pipe). Making it near impossible to adjust? Anybody?

Harder but not impossible..
