They should have paid for it the first time they ****ed it up. Once they pay for it, have someone ELSE install an INJEN on it. Don't settle for **** you don't want cuz of the incompotence of the nissan crew. Threaten to sue.

Get what you want that is at a close price to the injen setup you had on it. It's not your fault they F'ed up your exhaust. Get mean with them if you have to. God forbid they ever send you a survey and you give them a low score. Hint Hint.

Your insurance company is obligated to replace the exhaust with one of equal quality. So as far as form, fit and function, they are the same.

So you had to pay a deductible? Dam, I would be screaming about now to the dealership.

This is why I go through a thorough inspection with the Service Tech before and after my Service.

How in the world did both mufflers get "dented" in the first place? Did they take it for a test ride and bottom it out?

Man... I hate bringing my car in for service.

Sorry to hear about it.
