There are no cats, and I'd have a problem with them welding the pipes to the headers if it were my car. They'd be getting it back to do the job the right way if it were mine.

Just heard from the shop and they said TSP must have shipped the non-catted version by mistake, the tech just put on what was in the box, and they would get me taken care of.

I haven't seen welded headers before and that surprised me - why would the band clamps not be enough?

Idk to answer your questions, but they shouldn't have welded that at all...no reason I can think of...

Glad to hear the shop is doing right by you!! and hope to see everything work out in the end hopefully not to much of a headache!...

and I don't think you'll have to from the sounds of it, but I wouldn't pay a dime more for there mess up lol just saying...
