Exhaust manifold

""Noticed exhaust leak in cabin. Motor mounts had been replaced but I dont know if that caused the manifold to come loose or if it was wear and tear. The dealer said theyd have to replace the entire exhaust system for around $1300& said take it to local dealer.He replaced the Catalytic converter (which I dont think needed replaced) and installed it wrong so it vibrated against the frame & blame dit on motor mounts. He alos said he reapird muffler,(3rd party garage said it hadnt been) and installed exhaust pipe wrong so it melted my bumper, then they cut out the bumper for the pipe. So much of the major issue was the faulty repair job.""
