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:

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?
Title: Re: look what i got :D
Post by: asboGTI on 30 April 2013, 18:35

Title: Re: look what i got :D
Post by: GTi_James on 30 April 2013, 19:07

i know i know!

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:
