Quick question... do shops have any legitimate reason to go for a 'spirited test drive' after they install an exhaust on your car? I can't really think of any reason for them needing to redline the car... Got a catback installed on my Z today and I had left the shop to do other things while they were working on it. I come back and see the guys revving my car in the parking lot taking videos with their cell phones... one of them says they took it out for a spin while I was making conversation with them, and when I asked why and if they drove it hard they said "No, just to test for leaks and rattles". Had a DVR in my car and when I went back home to check, the guys revved it a while and had floored it down the road. They put that S-mode crap on so when they downshifted into 2nd to slow down for a turn it rev matched and sounded like it was close to redline again -_-
