Westy's & Midas

About 7 years ago I got a catalytic converter (OK, it's not a muffler, but
it's close) at Midas for my '83 Westy.  It was considerably cheaper than a
new one at the VW dealer.  However, Midas would not cover it with its usual
warrantee, as they considered it non-standard.  They did a poor job of
installing it.  I have had to re-bolt it onto the muffler several times
myself, as they did such a poor job, and they refused to fix it when I
first took it back to them within a couple of weeks after the installation.
 The employees and management at the shop were very surly and
uncooperative.  The price was good, but everything else about it sucked.
