Does anyone have the dimensions of the box the cat-back system comes in? I guess I will have to pay again for shipping to get the product I paid good money for in a reasonable time. It would be very helpfull if someone could post this info. I realize that is a big joke to everyone now that those of us that have not been shipped to for almost a month now should just wait. Even worse the representative from the company has made quite a few unacceptable comments to customers that have paid in full good money and are trying to inquire about that status of pending orders. If I did that to my customers I would have none and also have no job.

Would someone please forward the info. on the box dimensions if the still have the box please. I tried to contact the seller but have gotten no call back again. It's kind of strange that I can call UPS and they will go pick the package up today with no problem?

I dont think I have made any comments out of line. Im sorry your so frustrated about this exhaust. If you have tried to call and couldnt get through please feel free to call my cell phone @ 404 606 8498. We did everything possible to make this GP go as smoothly as possible. We got over 50 orders and almost all are on the big brown truck. As far as trying to inquire about tracking info I have posted what information is available. If I havent given an update its because theres no info to update at this time.

Guys, I understand your frustration, but take a step back and relax for a moment. I have said this before, I did this GP on my OWN and in my evenings/time off to get you guys a deal. Some things like UPS are simply uncontrollable. I should have about 18 tracking #s to post by Monday. Stay tuned.

Where did you read I got in on this GP? That is your mistunderstanding.
As a completely satisfied customer of GMMG and their chambered exhaust on my 2002 Pontiac Trans Am Firehawk, I was lending some support to a company that delivers the goods. No misrepresentation here.

anyone else have fitment issues?
it seems like where the i-pipe meets the pipe that goes to the mufflers...it's got about an 1/8 inch around it
if i tighten it with the u-clamp then all it will do is bend the pipe down top to bottom or side to side, not in a circular motion
any ideas anyone?

Maybe a band clamp will be more effective than a U-clamp? Here is what I'm writing about:



If the difference between the diameters of the two exhaust pipes that are to be joined is too great, you could use some sort of "reducer."

Check out this 6 page PDF file of accessories from Dynomax to see these clamps and reducers:

http://www.dynomax.com/documents/acc_tools.pdf

You should be able to buy these things locally. Try to stick with stainless steel so that they will be easier to remove at some point in the future.

Does any body know what kind of clamps, sizes, and how many of each size this system comes with? Thanks for any help.

You made it sound like you got in on this one for your "2002 Pontiac Trans Am Firehawk"

Are these people even getting tracking numbers or are they just showing up? I don't mind not getting a tracking number if that means mine is on the way. I guess I will keep waiting!

I sent my money order to GMMG on July 2. The money order cleared on July 8.

10 days later I saw a UPS tracking number on July 12 for the box with my exhaust system.

14 days after getting the tracking number (24 days after sending in my money order) on July 26 UPS finally picked up the box with my exhaust system.

Now the box with my exhaust system is in transit and should be delivered in 2 days on July 29. From start to finish will be 27 days. The biggest delay was the 2 weeks it took for UPS to pick up the box.

Based on my experience as well as those before me, UPS has a really strange relationship with GMMG. Unlike other UPS customers, it appears that UPS does not visit GMMG daily for pickups and that UPS has a low limit to the number of boxes that it will take away with each pickup. So the advice I have for those after me is to be patient...

(I edited this to add the date my money order cleared the bank.)
