Well was never going to be easy was it????
Exhaust never turned up till yesterday afternoon Tuesday despite being promised for Monday. The guys struggled to get the old one off and apparently it was a mess, full of carbon and rusting away badly. But guess what the new one does not fit!! They tried hard but were unable to marry up the mounting brackets for the front down pipe so will now have to fabricate a new mount for it and possibly the other mounting points too.
Not happy at all so I called JJ who could offer no comfort except to collect the exhaust and to give me a refund. Not much good to me with a car I can't drive, and old system I can't put back on. Have to say the system is not that good. The welds look poor and there is what looks like rust on it already?? Didn't think stainless rusted?? Wrong it's not rust, its tarnish and spatter from the welding? The powerflow boxes were nice and shiny though! So car has failed its mot, I can't drive it and it will take another three hours at =A340hr to get it to fit. Exhaust came with no gaskets, no nuts or bolts but thankfully the boys saved the originals.
Feel very hacked off.
All the best
