Angry I was done dirty again!!!

Ok, im pretty sure that someone out there hates me. I am slowly learning that one of our beloved sponors (ill leave there name out incase they want to rectify this crap) has been screwing me over royally. Aside from the fact that i have been having drivability problems from day one...my headers and ory are the next on the list. Lets start with the y-pipe. What do they give me a USED one that was not manderal bent with a hole that was welded. The hole was clearly for an o2 sensor. Aside from that the damn thing was 1 and 1/4 inch from the ground with stock springs. Well i couldnt take it no more this weekend i had a friend make me the most beautiful y-pipe i have ever seen...ill post picks. Now for the headers. It ended up costing me $1600+ for that crap y and coated mild steel headers. I called this sponser and ask how much for stainless grotts and he said that installed with a y they are 1400. I am furious, i went to them cuz supposedly they could be trusted. I guess i didnt spend enough. well, im currently look for a new shop they fix what they screwed up. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I would just let one of the admins/mods know here and they can be a mediator if you have a legitimate gripe. That would also keep it from getting out to the public if they indeed just made a mistake.

I have had really good luck with ls1speed.com, thunderracing and texas speed.

Hey PG... Sounds pretty crappy. We have fixed these issues on a few cars in this area.

Also, if memory serves me correct I believe we talked about 2 weeks ago on this same issue. Whenever you are ready I'd be glad to aid you in fixing these problems.

I would say both are cut.. that's what we have fixed in the past along with a ls6 intake manifold that was cracked in the back and glued together. Its a personal choice if you want to go back there or not. I'll be happy to take care of you, but obviously this would cost even more money than you've spent!
