    What was the original problem? Was there a trouble code or 2? It sounds like your original mechanic changed his mind and that makes me wonder why.

    Hi, Im afraid that you are going to spend too much in your repair. The best solution and chepest way to go is to go to a muffler shop.This would save you a toon of money. Usualy the way they fix the problem is building from scratch the hole thing. It could run anything between 250 to 475 for the hole thing to be redone,But at the end you have a new exaust and your option of muffler if you also need one. Hope this was helpfull and have a great day!
