I don't think i've felt this way in a while. I bought this exhaust for my car..and it was basically a custom fab in the box. Well...no instructions..no official layout..that led to me getting it welded in the wrong direction. Fair enough, reweld. Everythings fine..except it turns out that one of their bends was off (not the welder, the exhaust shops!) and theres a half an inch diff between the left and the right tip under the skirts. Ok, you know, I could deal with that.

Then comes putting the ****er on. 3 hours last night. My g/f came from PSU to see me, and we were supposed to go out. Well that didn't happen, you know why? B/c .5-.75 of an inch needs to be taken off the xpipe in order to fit the godforsaken thing under the car.

It seems whatever I do with this 700$ piece of junk, I fall into nothing. I literally just dropped the car off and told them to call me when it looks relatively like a side exhaust. I emailed the company I bought it from, and the company who made the exhaust (who was very apologetic about not color coding it. I've had custom exhausts before- of the Nismo variety- and of the "throw your **** together variety"...never have I EVER experienced anything like this.

I don't even want to look at my car anymore.

i know the feeling bro... i almost had to replace an engine because a "mechanic" didnt tighten the crank pulley bolt.... yea...

ozthunder · 09-15-2007, 07:11 PM

Well its on.

Positives-
Sounds amazing

Negatives-
passenger side sticks out .5 inch farther than the drivers side. All of them do that apparently..when I get more cash I'll have that fixed (somehow lol)

Scapegoat · 09-15-2007, 07:13 PM

have the 1/2" cut off...

ozthunder · 09-15-2007, 07:14 PM

Oh I will..how much do you think that'll run (out of curiousity)?

Scapegoat · 09-15-2007, 07:15 PM

how much does a sawzall and a grinder cost? lol

ozthunder · 09-15-2007, 07:15 PM

lol..will it effect the chrome? I mean, is it doable lol

Scapegoat · 09-15-2007, 07:17 PM

a sawzall and a grinder will tear up the chrome... Might need to get some spray on chrome paint. Sawzall to cut the 1/2" off, grinder to smooth down the cut, chrome paint to respray the tip.

Take my advice with a gain of salt. I've never done it, nor can I promise it won't **** your tip up to the point where it'll never look good again

ozthunder · 09-15-2007, 07:20 PM

lol, i'll get used to it being out a bit. I'll just call the side with it out the good side lol

ozthunder · 09-15-2007, 07:36 PM

What about hi-temp black paint, eh?

05GT · 09-15-2007, 08:26 PM

Your just mad you don't have a supercharger lol. If you had one, your exhaust would have went on just fine lmao.

ozthunder · 09-15-2007, 08:48 PM

Blow me. At least it's not a Ford.
