Default 2006 xB Factory Repairs and Good Dealerships?

I've got a 2006 xB I got in Daly City, I would have got it at stevens creek but there werent any bop auto the day I bought mine. At anyrate, I have TRD exhaust and it wont go centered. I took it to the dealership in S.F. and they charged me $50 bucks to replace the gasket and they said there wasn't anything wrong with my exhaust even though its burning the rear lip. Then my front shock mounts aren't seating right and they want to charge me $128 labor just to inspect them. The car is lowered on Tanabe DF210 but that shouldn't cause the shock mounts to go bad, they are similar to the springs from TRD. Am I being screwed or is this legit? What should I do from here? I already called Scion Corp to get a claim going, my rear lip is ruined and my exhaust line up. My car bounces like a 90's civic on the freeway with only 12k miles and stock rims. PLEASE HELP

Who put on the TRD exhaust? You are stuck unless the dealer put it on.

Well thank you to Stevens Creek Scion and David the problem was eliminated. Apparently the SF Toyota/Scion installed the clamp upside down and backwards letting the muffler shift around breaking the gasket.

Once again Dave steps up and hits another home run! Dude you rock in the way you help us out.

I hope Scion gets SF Toyota to pay for your bumper repair David. That sucks.

They said "We are not responsible for your actions or neglegent actions resulting in the damage done to your car..." and in the same sentance "...if you like I can look up how much it would cost to order a new one" So I am trying to hook up with the guy in oakland that's selling his rear bumper & lip. So far he's responded that he has it but nothing to the affect of when I can go pick it up
