I thought that aftermarket performance car parts would be more affordable, but still do the same job as original car parts, but I was wrong.
The car shop installed an aftermarket performance exhaust system on my car that not only made more noise than the OEM, but it wasn’t as efficient as the OEM exhaust system.
I felt like I wasted money on the aftermarket exhaust system, and I couldn’t return it. I called the car shop and asked them if there was anything I could do to exchange the aftermarket exhaust system for an OEM exhaust system and they said no. All I could do was have it removed and they would install the original exhaust system, and I would still need to pay full price. I was really upset they hadn’t explained this previously, but there was little I could do. I told them to take off the aftermarket exhaust system and replace it. I know that many aftermarket performance car parts will work the same as the original car part. I also know that many times, the aftermarket performance car parts are less expensive than the original. Next time I need new car parts, I’m going to need to do more research than just looking at the price. Had I done my research and looked for something other than price, I may have bought a different aftermarket. I would have saved money, but it ended up costing me more. It was possibly one of the biggest and most expensive mistakes of my life, and the life of my car.
