Week after I got my Civic, I get this rattle from about the Heat-shield area of my header. It's rusty... I take it to the dealership hoping for warranty replacement. I got a two-hour wait, a $3 hose-clamp and a $100 service bill. Yep, the dealership is the bestest place in the whole wide world. Heh. Anyway, I feel your pain.

i'd make them pay for the cost to fix it, as well as the your tuneup (if they don't already)

Another horror story! That's why I do everything myself. I just can't trust anyone elses work.
