go to an exhaust shop? there is no reason an exhaust shop would not be willing to take your money to install a simple muffler

I found that alot of places won't do work like that because they aren't making any money on the sale end of it, or they don't deal with that particular brand, not all shops but most of the ones that I have dealt with.

one guy at monroe muffler says to me, what do you wanna do that for anyway, its a alero you cant make it fast, he says its just throwing your money out. i said to him actually i like my alero and second i bought the muffler for sound if i wanted to make my car faster id put a dual catback and supercharge it. i was pist i think they just dont wanna waste their time with that because they cant be making money off that deal. screw that if i had a shop id take any paying customer money is money.

Get an employees name and attitude and tell the owner. "I was going to have a new muffler attached to my car but your employee Joe Dumfahk said he didn't think I should."

i would have asked for the manager.... its not up to the employee what you choose to do w/ your own money...

i had no problems finding a place here. i went to minute muffler and i told the guy (who also happens to own the place to) what i wanted and he pulled out his trusty massive book on the bends on all the exhaust possible, found mine and said "yup, this wont be a problem at all" and when i picked it up, he said "looks like you did your research cause it sounds damn nice! didnt expect that from an alero haha"

Hey isn't shinyalero in New york and does that kind of work maybe get up with him. Cherry is from NY maybe ge can glue it on or something . All jokes aside though I have run into this a ton of times...A perfect example is here I wanted to get my pads changed, and thats it....thats it! Then every place I went to was like oh we just don't put pads in we have to turn the rotors and stuff like that well I told them that was BS and watch me turn my butt around and walk out the door. Hell Circuit City, Best Buy places like that won't install a radio, alarm or anything for that matter in your car if they don't carry it. Its sad out there! Good luck! There quite a few mechs down here that would do that and proably charge you half the price.

/\ I was just going to say that. To a mustang owner if it isn't a rwd v8 that is slower than it by all rights should be it is a waste of time.

hold on, a guy from a muffler shop said you adding a MUFFLER would make ur car faster? what an idiot... its not like the flowmaster is being installed to add 50 hp to ur car, obviously its mainly for sound... well good luck and I hope you find someone to install it.
