And make sure the muffler guy knows your displeasure at his misinformation and not being able to "read" his customer. And that now you have to pay someone else to fix his mistake.
Same thing 4-Wheel Parts guys do when selling truck accessories to a 50 year old. After all, you just gotta' have a lift so you can tow your boat to the lake, right?
"Yessir, you really do want the 6" lift instead of the 4" so you can fit the 35's instead of being stuck with the 33's and being unhappy."
And of course, who can forget the "Yessiree, you really need the 12" wide wheels for those 35's, because they improve traction and have that deep look you were asking about." Nothing at all about how "deep" looking wheels stick out past the fenders and make the steering on your IFS Chevy feel more vague. Or that larger tires with the wrong gearing make your truck a dog.
And for exhaust? "Yessir... You will love the 3 inch dual exhaust with Magnaflow 10" long round mufflers for that cool mellow sound."
Something along those lines anyway. To be fair, not all the stores were like that. Just most of them.
Maybe they're not that bad anymore? Yeah, and maybe someday that muffler guy will look up and listen when discussing needs with the customer. And acknowledge the fact that he likes louder exhaust sound than most, and that after years or working in a shop environment his hearing sucks anyway.
Maybe they'll try to make it right for you after all.
Good luck. Agree that the Delta-50's would have been better. Or Ultra-Flow stainless from Dynomax.
