Frosty working in a dealership let me give you some advise.
you bought it on the car right. the dealership didn't upgrade it. its part of the rs. being that it will be covered under warranty, I repeat, will be covered under warranty, either by toyota or the dealership because it was sold to you on the car without a disclaimer about how sertian parts won't be covered.
Your service advisor and parts department is just being lazy and don't want to find out how to get you a new one. go through your paperwork and warranty march your but to the dealership and don't take no for an answer. yell and scream if you have to get noticed that it will be fixed.
even if toyota or the dealership won't honor it dc sports probably has a warranty and good customer service. call them and explain.
if toyota put this on the car then by federal law they have to warranty any emission controling device (exhaust falls into this catagory even if its just for looks) for 10 years or 80,000 miles.
if you need help let me know.

there will be with time. the problem is its not a toyota part. so toyota cant warranty it. they have to get dc to warranty or make a better one and buy those to put on the rs2.
with patiance it will all come together. but a little pressure won't hurt.
a good way to get the problem noticed by toyota is get a really cheap service done, like an oil change and wait for toyota to contact you for a survey then make you complaint.

Toyota subs out thousands of parts on their cars to OEM mfgs. We all got the same exhuast on our RS2's. It was not like we had a choice. When they put it on, they assumed the warranty risk. If we keep registering complaints, I guess we will eventually get noticed. I intend to ask them to inspect it every time I go in for service..........
