Finally, my full turbo back exhaust system is on, heres some pictures for everyone. Because i know how much you all love pictures. During the shipping stages the tips on my Borla exhaust got dented slightly, i'm very pissed at the delivery people cause not only were the pipes in a box but also rapped in like 4 layers of bubble rap (the big kind). One pipe on each of the mufflers is bent, i guess i could just bend it back, well i think it can be bent back. But it shouldnt have ever been dented . Sorry about the quality of the pics, i think my camera was drunk at the time or something. Enjoy, and let me know what you think.

 

those look sweet, kinda look similar to the oem. but yea, id be mad about those dents as well >.< esp. since you just got them. lol, and wash your car, its dirty ^.^

 

It is very similar to the OEM but oem is like 1" and these pipes i think are a lil over 2". Lol it does need to be washed, But i'm gonna wash it after it gets painted.

 

First off thamend be who ever bent ure pipes. 2nd how's teh TT coming? and finally What color you painting your Z?

 

looks good, that sucks about the dents, i woulda filed a claim w/ the shipping company for the damages. but it looks like it can be easily repaired. lookin nice man

 

Looks good man. I agree with RPS 13 about filing the claim though. I bought brand new headlights from Coz and had them shipped out for an HID retrofit. There were cracks in both of the lights after delivery and UPS had to pay for them.

 

Once I noticed the dents, I would've been on the phone with the retailer and the shipping company. No way would I've put that on my car. If you can't get the dents out all the way, it will always bug you.

 

Lol no dont say that, cause i know it will always bug me (forever). And shes coming along pretty slowly, the engines wired and everything, exhaust is all in, most of the lines have been done. Major thing to do is figure out this intercooler piping, remount everything so i can actually fit the intercoolers. Radiator installed and get oil cooler done, do all the plumbing for that. Then try to turn it on, my favorite part the tuning (that should be in like a couple weeks to a month, hopefully).

 

Totally agree 91zxtt...Only at last resort would I have installed them, but filed a claim and worse case, fix them then installed them.

 

Even if you keep them and intend to live with it, maybe you could get a credit or some money back from the retailer or the shipping co. A lot of times it's cheaper for them to give you some dough for your troubles than to pay for shipping and a new exhaust.

The only problem you might run into is they'll probably ask why you installed it in the first place if it was damaged when you got it. They might try to say it was involved in wreck or you ran over something that dented it. It might be worth a try though.

 

Well i dont think i ran over anything cause as soon as the exhuast came out of the box its been on that car. And that car hasnt ran since i think december and the exhaust was put on a couple weeks ago.

 

Actually, if you go ahead and sign for it, and install them without reporting the damages to the shipping company, they will not honor a return or reimbursment. If you ever order a body kit or something large like that (Like an exhaust system), MAKE SURE YOU CHECK IT BEFORE you sign for the delivery, otherwise the shipping company isnt tied to any legal obligation for any damages that may have occured. Thats why they make you sign for it

Sorry man, i dont think filing a dispute w/ the shipping company or telling the retailer will do you much good now, the only other option is to just try to fix it, but it still looks clean, and i cant wait to see the final product

 

wow, now i know! haha, thanks RPS

 

Theres a guy that works at the shop that says he knows metal really well, and he can get that out without a problem. So why not i guess i'll let him, hopefully i'll be taking a video of me driving my lady soon for you all to see.

 

Cool. Keep us posted

 

ANd just think, I remember when you bought her and was so discouraged. Look how far you've come. We are so proud.

 

Lol still discouraged, and now in debt. But very stubborn.

 

yet you have come along way. hell alonger than me too. keep it up dude.
