I ordered a stainless exhaust system for my '60 BT-7. I acquired the automobile in February after it had ben refurbushed. The exhaust system is OK, but too loud, I think the muffler is without baffles. To make a long story short, I ordered the system in April from our "reputable" British automobile repair facility here in Northern Virginia. Needless to say, eight weeks for a simple exhaust system seems rather excessive. I finally received a call yesterday evening indicating the system would be delivered to the facility today, and did I want to install it myself or have the facility install it. Over the course of the past two months, I have been in contact with the facility personnel and each time I made it clear that I wanted them to install. The person on yesterday evening's call indicated that the installation would be very difficult and time consuming...setting the stage for what I think is the lowering of the proverbial boom for a high-cost installation.
I have changed out exhaust systems in Healeys before (when I had a lift at my disposal), and found the process rather straight forward and, quite frankly, easy (when all the metal was cool).
Here's the question, shall i take the exhasut system and run to another facility, or brave the potential of being hit hard with an over-top installation bill?
Thanks,
Bob
