Muffler place

Hey guys, hoping you are checking Fitfreak today

I am wondering if any of you know of an exhaust shop that is open today and could weld a bung in an oem header for me?

Nick I remember you had a look into this but not sure if you ended up going on a weekend.

Crowfoot Muffler isn't open on the weekend, they are the cheapest place I found that wasn't going to screw me around. I think it was 12$ to put it in.

Here was my rant about it;

I think my favorite was either Midas or Speedy

Midas: Hello
Me: Can you guys install a weld in bung on a header for me this afternoon?
Midas: Well a weld in bung eh, that could take a couple of hours to install
Me: But it is a header that is a loose part I will bring in, it has never been installed and is totally clean.
Midas: But you know, cutting the whole and depending on where it gets installed it could be tricky... at least an hour or two worth of labour.
Me: um ok... never mind

Speedy: Hello how can I help you
Me: Hi, can you guys install a weld in bung for me on a new uninstalled header?
Speedy: Sorry we don't install supplied parts
Me: Well they are both loose parts, but you guys could supply the bung...
Speedy: *Click*

I paid $38 and minute muffler on mcleod installed one.

Now I need a stupid M18X15 tap because the idiot welding wasn't careful and a little bit of splash went on the threads and the o2 wont go in more than halfway...

It can apparently warp the bung when they weld and screw it up, the Crowfoot shop gave me sh!t about it when I didn't supply the plug right away.

great stuff :P

I think mine is ok because it threads the o2 half way but once it gets to that point it wont go further.

I almost destroyed the threads on one of my 2 o2 sensors thrying to hammer it past that point

Hopefully I get a tap today for that and can fix it.
