Now if the shop does it, they're responsible. But, you'll have some random ape wrenching on your baby... depends how that sits with you.
I don't' think that is a very bad price for the job.

Hmm...its 10 years old..its a 93...with 150k miles on it.
I heard you can snap those exhaust bolts easy if the car is somewhat old. Its been heating up and cooling down for 10 years....so i guess thats a lot of wear and tear. And i'd rather a shop guy be responsible :-)
Yeh...$144 is alot for a gasket..but its the labor and its somethin i dont have the time for and if i break somethin..i sure dont have the money to fix. I cant just break the exhaust pipe..i cant drive it with hot gases coming dirctly out of my header..it'll melt everything under the hood. Even though it'll sound good ;-) LOL
But ne wayz...yeh..down the road when get some extra $$ i'll get it done...its not leaking that bad..but it is definitely leaking all the way around.
