yeah they should just add fabricated bent pipes welded to enter each tip.


Did you also get the gap fixed above the valance? it looks like clips might not be fully seated?
Nah, haven't had chance to discuss that.

Maybe that's as good as it can get? It's not OEM and I wasn't expecting perfection. Seems pretty sturdy though.

I want to explore getting the whole OEM exhaust if that's our last resort (hopefully shop owner makes it right). Anyone know where I can get it and cost?

Where is the valance from?? I assure you its just not fully seated. I bet it fits like a glove. as for having a pipe welded in to fill it, you wont be able to have it tight fitting as the exhaust will move and the tips wont. Otherwise you will get some serious metal to metal vibration. Im sure they can fab up something and possibly weld it on at an angle from the muffler to inside the tip. I still think I would spray the mufflers flat blk as well

Its from Ikon. Ill ask about valance. Do you know if Ford sells these OEM if case it has to go that route?

Duct tape and bondo. I'm half kidding. Ask the shop for their suggestion since you're their customer.

So thankful! The shop owner said he will make it right. I'll report back. If anyone has any other ideas, let me know.
