Very much so!

Are they sure it isn't from the HFCs themselves?

Honestly....I dont know. I wished I had taken another day off and been there for what they did. When I left Altered yesterday I gave them to go ahead to cut the HFC's before seeing semtex's thread. I now have a set of Berk HFC's that are modified to fit only my 370....thankfully I still have the stock ones.

Could have just heated up the exhaust before they first "Y" and then push it up into place. It will put a slight bend on the exhaust that will make no difference in sound and flow and problem fixed...but I guess you guys took the harder way out

I'm a bit nervous about tomorrow....going and the get the car and seeing that CEL on. I'll be sure to get the name of the code it threw and maybe that will help. They welded the HFC's back up after cutting them and said there were no leaks.

Just uploaded photos and a walk around video of the car here:

awesome man !!

change that avatar...lol

While pretty rare the Berk HFCs have thrown a CEL before. I don't think the cutting would make a difference if it were done correctly.

I hope not. They (Altered) are ordering me a new O2 sensor and I'll be heading back up there soon to get it fixed.

I have "Service Engine Soon" on. Be happy when that goes off.

Also, does anyone know.....I feel a shimmy and my steering wheel isnt straight in order to go straight. I have to leave it slightly to the right. Could this be from the offsets or do I need a new alignment already?

alignment
