Default GMMG owners help please

Hey guys, I just bought a gmmg chambered exhaust from a member of the board here. I'm wondering if I'm missing parts or if this is just all that comes with the gmmg system.

I currently have the SLP loudmouth on my car and it bolts to the Y-pipe and then runs all the way out the back of the car. The gmmg that I got today doesn't have any pipe that runs beyond the "over the axle" spot.

Am I missing a piece of pipe? Because bolting it up like th is will leave the resonator and a huge section of pipe from the loudmouth on the car.

It's supposed to have an intermediate pipe... why you don't have it, I don't know. I would be pissed.

Now he is saying he didn't know anything about an I pipe, but yet it was on the car. Says he never said it was included... what a rip off. I can't believe this dude acting like its not a big deal.

Does anyone know if you can order just the I pipe? Im betting you can't since gmmg has been so weird about everything else.

If anyone knows anyone personally that could help me out over there at GMMG let me know. Im really stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I should have ordered a new one

The I pipe is just a straight piece of 3" pipe. You can buy one made by dynomax, from summit racing for ?$35. You could also have a piece of 3" pipe welded on at a muffler shop for next to nothing.

Well it has to make some turns at the end... to go up into the other section over the axle and I want it to be mandrel bent. Ill give GMMG a call tomorrow and see what they will do for me. I'm close to there and could pick it up.

It just sucks to spend so much ($550) and then the item get here with a major part missing. Hell, a brand new one with standard tips is only 700 shipped from gmmg direct. Mine doesn't even have tips Not that I don't already have some tips to use, but still.

Are you saying there is an intermediate pipe available from summit or just a straight piece of pipe? I'm doing a little browsing on their site and not having alot of luck finding it. Figured its worth investigating anyways.

Thanks for the suggestions guys

Dang the fun never stops... dude forgot to mention he had the stock hanger moved and re-welded into another spot... Left a huge rusty welded up hole where it used to be. :sigh: Don't ever buy anything from heymoej, at least not without an inspection in person.

That's a total rip-off. I can't believe anyone would sell such a hunk of **** for $550 and feel good about themselves.

The picture shows that, but it says that the intermediate pipe is included in the overview.
