[Mk2] [Generic] Recently bought a XS Power exhaust but....

Post by BiGWiLlYsTyLe »

It seems to be bent,I bought it off Dale_V and i have seen pictures of it on his car and it looks fine.I did notice it seemed bent when it wasnt on the car as it didnt level right on the floor.

I was wondering if it can be bent back or will it have to be cut and welded again??

I know it could be heated but i dont know if it will warp the metal and leave it tarnished.

Any ideas welcome :thumleft:

Will

Its a fair comment though. Maybe not "cheap" as far as price goes, but when do you hear of a bent Blitz/Apexi/Garage SPL etc. :-k

The XS Power brand itself carried an eliment of risk when buying new or used. I'm not biased against them as I've used their I/C before and it was good, but sure had its fair share of problems. Same with the manifolds and downpipes.

Glad you got it sorted though. :thumleft:

I know what you mean. Uneven exhaust tips are something I wouldn't stand for either.
