^For real. I can't even weld and I think I could do that. He probably thought it was a waste of time because you aren't buying something.

"Can't do it" ... What was his reasoning exactly?


Find another place.

actually, the way they are designed, it is quite difficult, and definitely not cost effective. I woudnt say you "cant" do it, but it definitely isnt the best route.

Difficult is one thing, saying you can't is another. Why any reputable muffler shop would say you can't weld tips is beyond me. At the end of the day, he's a paying customer and is paying for the work to be done. Lazy is the only word that comes to mind.

Time to find a better shop...
