Anyways, I dropped it off, went back after 2 hours to pick up the car.
It sounded great. For about 2 weeks or so.

I began hearing a leak from the exhaust, and checked underbody to see a clamp between the connecting pipe (of the exhaust) and X-pipe not connected. I figured out that the mechanic has heated (with flame torch i guess) the hangers to bend them to fit the exhaust.

I called the mechanic, and he is telling me he did not heat it (even though I see burn marks). Regardless, I don't wanna have anything to do with this guy - useless mechanic.

Now I need a proper mechanic who can do the job right - I guess he will have to heat the hangers again to put it somehow back into place and fit the exhaust right.

Please suggest a reputable mechanic who will get the job done, without charging me something like $200 for an exhaust repair.
Thanks a lot for reading guys, and any input will be much appreciated
