(NEW PICS) Downpipe Disaster! From the "pro's" at National Muffler (MIL. , WI)
 

Well i have had the WORST ------- day. I finally get this car running and was in such a great mood. Finally....the last step, a downpipe.
Is $170 too much for a downpipe?? How much did you guys pay. I paid 170 and got PURE ----!

So they're making this stupid downpipe for me. I wanted them to weld in the Jegs 3" Y-out. Well at first they said they couldn't. Then they said they could(and they did).
BUT it's still NOT connected to the stock exhaust! They said they could not do it so I said that's fine, ill find someone who can.

Well, next they said they couldn't do 2.5" off the O2 housing like I wanted it to be. They said they can only do 2.25 and then run it to 2.5. I figured the O2 opening is 2.25" anyways, this should be fine.
QUESTION!! Would 2.25" work straight off the downpipe and then have it go to 2.5" or would there still be too much backpressure? :-\ :-\
Anyways, so they mandrel bend these pipes and they come out looking like ----! When they bend the 2.5" they smooshed the ------- thing so it's a little flatter (is this bad? I REALLY need to know) :-[ :-[

They finish up and come to find out, they put <2" piping off the ------- O2 housing!!!!!! I was soo pissed
So i called the guy up and they said i need a skinnier fan so they can run 2.5 out, otherwise they can't. I told them it was supposed to be 2.25, and I only got 2". He said he knew about it!!! Then he said not to worry about it because when they change it from 2 to 2.5" he can hook me up on the price.



WHAT SHOULD I DO. I was almost in ------- tears. I worked soo damn hard on this thing, and then they ---- IT UP by putting a PUNY exhaust on and along with that take my $170. WTF.
What should I do? >:( >:(

I wish there was somethigni could do for you but they need the car to size it properly becouse fo the turbo (where it hangs) and that was awaaay too much for that. $70 max. Sory to hear that man:(

Thanks guys ill let you know how things go. Damn i was sooo pissed yesterday it wasn't even funny. I drop $2000 into this kit, spend so many hours on it, and then they jag me off on a $170 DP that's no bigger than my stock one.

my pipe work cost me an arm and a leg too.... and they fucked it all up... and i spent as much at the exhaust shop as i did for 1/2 of my kit

For that much money, you can pretty much buy a wire welder and make all your exhaust bits yourself...

Damn im sorry to hear that. I know how you feel. How come these places do this ----? I dont understand, it's unlike anywhere else. It seems like they always put the CUSTOMER LAST. That fag sure didn't mind taking my $170. But now he minds fixin his mistakes.
