3" downpipe decat FAIL.....
« on: 01 November 2013, 10:09 »
So ordered the above yesterday just before 2 it arrived at half 8 just before I was about to leave for work was very impressed... opened it up to check it and I noticed a massive dent !!! Absolutely livid phoned the company went off on one for him to turn around and say ....."sir is this the 2 piece one " ..... yes it is "the dent is manufactured...." before he could finish his sentence I realised why and said " ahhhhh no what a nob its so you can get better access to the bolt aint it " yep lol !!!!

Felt like the biggest idiot going but thought id share it with you all with the hope someone has done the same !?!?
