I have to agree that my experience with Andrew was also quite good.
The only thing that has me mildly annoyed is they reused the "one time use" reinforcement plate bolts.
Safe to say that neither of ours are now properly torqued.
I always keep a sack handy. One of these days I'll replace them and properly torque them.

I also had him replace my guibo and center support bearing (I never got the old one back, so I assume it was replaced), so they would have had to remove the rear reinforcement and drop the exhaust.

I've had a ferocious vibration at cold idle ever since I got the car back.
Feels like the exhaust, but I've checked, and it doesn't look like it's hitting anything.
Vibration goes away once it's warmed up a little.
Aftermarket X pipe or cans?

If so it's probably hitting the reinforcement plate. Heat (expansion) moves things ever so slightly and stops the sound. The reinforcing plate mounts and X pipe alignment are tricky. I've had mine off several times--the last created the issue you have. Small tolerances IMO.
