When you get it back from a shop and need to go to another shop to get it done right.

That is some talented welding


These are the finished pics.

I couldn't believe it when I seen the cut outs where only tack welded on there

Holy smokes, that's some real butchered exhaust work there.

Not related to the obviously hammered on mid-pipe but 4th picture down you see your o2 sensors? On the driver side there 2, of them. The grey wiring sheath is for the primary O2 for B1S1 and below it at an obvious downward angle I can tell is the wideband. I'm not sure who installed the Bung for the wideband as it is an obvious oversight as when you put an o2 sensor on a downwards angle like that the condensation building in the exhaust will collect on the sensor and rott it out from the inside out.

Always install o2 bungs at an upwards angle preferably 15* or so or else you'll experience premature sensor failure.


Glad you were able to bring it to another shop that knows what they're doing to correct the mistakes. You should post up the name of the shop so everyone knows to avoid them IMHO.

Man you've had some crappy luck with people working on your car.

Wow that's horrible, I bet I can guess who did that...

[Mike14bumblebee]

Glad you got it all fixed up properly.

With workmanship like that i think the shop name should posted. How many others have they screwed over.

Unfortunately it looks like it is still at the wrong angle because its in the header collector. You can see this in the 10th picture (2nd of the finished ones)

Oh I agree %100 but if we post names all of a sudden our posts get deleted.

But first, the business owner comes on and belittles people, calls them names, accuses people of making up stories and pictures, etc. or says he was not given an opportunity to defend himself and the work done...I wonder how he would defend this work??

What I want to no is, how are people supposed to make educated choices of shops to use when the bad reviews get deleted on a forum that is used to help its members? Good or bad they should be visible to help, especially when you can see how the owners explode

[SSMY1LE]

How they handle it.......

I couldn't agree with you more! It's because paying vendors can have threads deleted or posts. This forum isn't about being car people and looking out for each other. Like not being able to talk about a shop that rips people off, street racing "and we all know it happens!" And I could go on and on. There are to many rules here and if not followed or you don't fall in line you will get the boot, it's a joke! We all work hard for our money and it would nice to get feed back about shops so we can make educated decisions where to spend our hard earned money. Can't wait to see how long this thread lasts before it gets deleted!!
