Don't be tempted

Post by keith030458 »

I know these exhaust look good in the advert on e-bay but the quality is very very poorImage
there are a number of issues with them,poor welding , manifold and flanges look like they are made from girders, poor and incorrect shaping of apertures , and no finished grinding i.e. inside of the pipes has more lips than jagger and welds where manifolds and flanges are joined has more bumps than the rocky mountains ,here are some photos but unfortunately they don't really shoe the extent of the problems, they are so bad I'm off to get the pipes sorted by a local steel works tomorrow

overall poor quality don't be tempted unless you are prepared to have them finished by someone else[/img]

Aren't those the ones that don't even fit on a 3S-GE?

I'd have sent that back as its clearly not fit for purpose.
