How can I tell if a mechanic buys a cheaper part ?
What is your question?
I don't k ow if I have to take my Audi to a specialist and I want to make sure I'm not getting ripped off by being told I'm getting the high end part but they are really using a used part or a cheap "universal" part there are not a lot of shops around here and there are a lot of complaints about the ones we do have my cars check engine light came on today I have 148000 miles on it but it doesn't stay on and it doesn't seem to effect any power no noises in the engine but the exhaust does seem a bit louder than it should

Well I took it down and hooked it up to a computer it was a much smaller problem then I was being told originally its a vacuum leak I checked the gas cap what other problems should I check for I have found a few exhausts kits online that run from the cat back should I just replace from the headers back would that fix the problem I know its a drastic measure but can't go wrong with a flow master exhaust can you
