Now is another twist to the story, read below..

Ahhhhhhhh. I will 'kee' sombori today, I won't swear.

Recall my bitter experience with my panel beater who sold me a refurbished 'silencer' for new?

Recall how upon finding out I went to him and how he begged and applogised, blaming the devil for his action? How he begged me to give him a week to replace it? How he Called after two weeks to say he was ready? How I went there and he gave me a 'brand new' silencer?

He fixed it and in my heart, it was a forgotten issue and I didn't take it out on him any longer. We resumed our banters and, honestly speaking, he is even on my list for Christmas gift.

But I noticed my fuel consumption shot up.

I changed where i usually buy fuel and went to an NNPC mega station yesterday and I spent the same amount on petrol. Then I knew something wasn't right.

This morning I came to my mechanic to help me check why my car was guzzling fuel and, ladies and gentlemen, here. The supposed new 'silencer'. It is a shell. Nothing inside. Just a case. Repainted and sold to me as new.

When my mechanic first informed me, I asked him if he was drunk on a Monday morning.
He laughed, went under my car and brought out the pot. He got a chisel and a hammer and ripped it open. I burst into tears. I feel so pained.

I called the panel who get me into this mess and he said " ehn, e sha ma gbe bo..."( just bring it back).
I have told him to get set for the police.
Why do we do this to ourselves?
Why? ??

GAZZUZZ:
catalytic converter and Rear muffler are not same part. It is expected for the muffler to be empty.

Fuel consumption in this particular vehicle is not determined by presence or absence of a catalytic converter.

Pardon my ignorance sir, but do you think the change of the silencer may likely be the cause for the fuel consumption?

where exhaust can contribute to drastic and noticeably fuel consumption is due to restriction and leak .However the owner has confirmed the muffler empty so she should check elsewhere.
