Because MY key would start the car, but all the needles would peg and tha engine would shut down followed by the alarm being set off. But my wifes key worked fine...for a week. Then same scenario...
Stealership (I love that phrase) said it was a dead battery and the car wasn't driven enough... Long story, he's full of crap, I had just been on a 400+ mile trip through Kentucky, blah blah blah...
But I digress...When the tow truck got there (rollback) he positioned his truck in a way that there was NO WAY the car was going on the truck. After a feeble failed attempt he repositioned his truck to NOT where I suggested but at least more straight on. But this position caused his cable to drag all the way across the underside of the front bumper cover and when the car started going up the back of the truck the rear bumper cover (valance actually) and chrome tips started dragging my concrete driveway. I said "Whats that sound?! Whoa! Whoa!" and my wife said something like "Hey! Hey! Whoa! Whoa!!"
Mr. Tow Truck Driver responded with "Just another inch or two..."
I now have two 18"-20" gouges in my driveway. I don't care about the driveway though (silly me!!) I want my chrome tips replaced!
So, I call roadside assistance back, whole saga later, I go back to the dealer for an estimate (I'm not paying this time!!) and they tell me that there isn't a chrome tip replacement part and they write it up for a new exaust. Muffler & pipe with resonator - $709.98 (Plus bumper cover work total is 1558.60).
My questions to my LS freinds,
a) Is this true?
b) Are there no factory slip on tips?
c) Should there be a Right and a Left or is that $700 for a complete factory cat back system? ( yes, I asked at least three times before I left and she seemed sure it was true)
Of course I'm hopeing I get a check so I can put on some Magnaflows and an X pipe, but I'm not holding my breath...
