Yeah, there was a time I would not let other people work on my vehicles. I have a better job now and can afford it .. 
I find your reply a little odd. I want the best for my vehicles and I am not the best person to be working on some areas of my vehicles, or I don't want to tie up money for special tools or equipment I will only use once, so I will let the professionals do some work on my truck. I certainly didn't do any machine work on my lastest engine even though at one time I was fully capable to do so.
As others have said, pre-made bolt on universal parts usually don't fit well. I would rather have a professional build a quality exhaust system that is made to fit my truck instead of buying something that someone else thinks I want.
Your truck though, do as you want, not what anyone else wants.
Side note: I worked at an exhaust shop for years. I still use my friends exhaust shop to build what I need for my vehicles, and he helps me out when I hit a problem bend. I let him do the welding, that skill has gotten away from me. |
Points well taken. On the other hand I don't mind buying tools I'll only use once. I'd also rather do things myself multiple times until I get it right even if it costs me more in the end. This is a hobby. As far as machine work goes I do t have the skill or tools for that. And if I need it done I'd certainly pay a professional.

My thoughts exactly. I'm not looking for anything spectacular. Just a stock style exhaust system. I've installed over 10 aftermarket exhaust systems that I can think of and I've never had an issue with figment. The 2 that were "custom" from shops never were quite how I wanted them.
