Worst exhaust job ever, I feel violated!

Got my truck in the exhaust shop today, had to use a new shop since the normal one didn't tell us they were full up when I called and my wife had towed it 60 miles to them. Call around and a shop that came highly recommended said they could get it done today.

Only thing we needed done is to cut the piece out from the Ram Horns to the first weld and install one the proper length (Old engine was in the 4wd slot instead of the 2wd).

She gets there about 1:00 pm and gets out after 6:00 pm. They told her they couldn't find any nuts for the bolts they installed in the Ram Horns. I tell her no big deal, bring it home and I'll find some.

Truck gets here and I noticed that the exhaust isn't moved back, but installed at the length it already was. I find all the following wrong:

Driver side:

Hitting the control arm, hitting rear crossmember, hitting the rear shock, no middle hanger (only hanger is at the very back of the frame which looks like when taking a dip it will pop up and hit the transmission support)

Passenger side:
Also has no middle hanger, is about 1/4 inch from rear crossmember, hitting the trailing arm, hole in the weld on outlet side of glass pack (not sure why they cut the weld unless they were having trouble turning the exhaust), less than 1" from rear axle, exhaust pipe ends further out and at a different angle than the driver side, and rear hanger is only in the bushing less than a half inch.

Am I out of mind....I just can't imagine any exhaust shop doing such a terrible job.

What would you guys do...I'm planning on calling them tomorrow, but don't think I want them to even try to make it right themselves.

Thanks,
Jeff
