broken exhaust brackets
My drives side exhaust bracket the one that mounts to the rear bumper broke completely off. I took of the passenger side one and its ready to go too. I was wondering will billy boat repair it for me. I fully expect to pay for it which is no issue. its not their fault. Just wondering if anyone has every had this happen to them and how they got it repaired? The car was in an accident before were I was rear ended but the exhaust was fine then but I'm guessing it bent them enough to weaken them.

Before seeing out assistance from Billy Boat, why not check with a local muffler shop and see what they say about it. Perhaps they can do the repair at a very reasonable cost.

I would go the distance and find a shop that can weld stainless without the usual rust that results in time from standard welding rigs that most muffler shops use.
I had a broken support on my axle back system , not a billy boat, and the area sales rep offered me a way to a free new part under warrantee , sight unseen and knowing I was not the original owner. I only got in contact with the area rep because I thought he would know of a good shop for repair.
I would talk to a B boat dealer for suggestions, you might get some help, hot rod parts suppliers are very sensitive to having a flawless reputation. But there is that complication from impact damage, it really wasn't a manufacturing failure, so I would find a shop.
