Wtf how can you forget you have somethin like that!! :grin:
-
i have no idea, aparantly its been there since friday hahaha! ive been in my garage all weekend and didnt even see it there :lipsrsealed:
-
Now how you gona sleep at nite knowing you could of fit the exhaust over the weekend
-
I thought it was gonna be something like a pair of nuts but either way this is still a win
-
i dont think im gonna sleep lol bad enough its sitting there, worst that im impatient! :lipsrsealed:
quick question though, i have the AUM, is there gonna be any issues with the Dpipe as i only see one hole on the Dpipe :undecided:
-
There is another pipe that goes between the dp and centre section..... The other hole is on that.... Please say you got more than what you pictured??? :shocked:
-
^thats what I was just thinking!
Should be another pipe with a flange on!
-
definatly got more than whats on the picture, i had to reel in the knee jerk reflex of getting everything out and then spending the next 4 hours tearing off my old exhaust and getting this fitted so i teased myself a bit, currently doing breathing exercises to calm down :lipsrsealed:
-
Haha just remember loads of (decent) exhaust paste and proper clamps :wink:
-
will do bud, got some mikalor clamps ordered and a mate from Mercedes is smuggling some industrial gunk from the truck shop lol
-
The Mikalors are rubbish. I used U clamps in the end
-
...re-order :lipsrsealed:
thanks wazzer!
-
just like to add im so excited im wearing my special pants :laugh:
-
pain in the arse job is preventing mr from fitting this now until next weekend :angry: they've finally sorted out my travel and have me booked abroad a for a few weeks :cry: so upsetting
-
Cough all nighter cough :grin:
-
...dont give me ideas
lol
-
ok dont do an all nighter just a late one :whistle:
-
lol decided to get the welds checked out first though, better just double check before banging it on, has anyone else has any issues with the welds?
-
I haven't had any issues
-
hopefully i wont either lol im just not clued up on whether or not theyre good welds or not, best discription is that they look like little pressed beads that over lap each other?
-
Yeah it'll be ok that's the way the Chinese children weld :lipsrsealed: :grin:
-
:shocked: :lipsrsealed:
hey my brothers and sisters do better welds than that :lipsrsealed: lol
tbf i'm only half chinese...which means i should of got at least half discount!

partly my fault, partly packaging, partly seller, as you can see by the original pictures i only got out 3 of the main 4, i thought that the one i hadnt unwrapped, the estates back box extension after investigating, was the pipe that was to fit between the two, hands up i should of unwrapped everything but i was in a rush and they were well packed.
have got hold of our californian and hes looking into this issue, he did state that he would help out with whatever i need and its all recorded by ebay mail but hes been soo good im gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and let him get to the bottom of this, im not gonna raise the issue with ebay and paypal until i have no other options which i think is fair, so hopefully this should be fitted by mid week...fingers crossed :undecided:
