Mark - the WSTO boys told me you were gonna run ESS? I thought you had your JB3 issues resolved.

On a side note, going to see Gus tomorrow about my exhaust leak.

I'd be interested in one of the slots.

Did you ever install your DP's?

I finally decided on the HKS exhaust and an LSD as my next projects.

CubanJJ09 · 11-20-2009, 05:32 AM

Al make sure it's not the dp seal that's leaking. I wouldn't disclose that to any SA regardless of how cool they may be.

J335i · 11-20-2009, 11:19 AM

mkPOTO · 11-20-2009, 12:11 PM

umm manual dinan stage 2 dp needs to go on very soon but been lazy. and yeah for sure

Ricer X · 11-20-2009, 01:18 PM

Seeing as how I was 90% sure it was the DP and I know the local owner of the Firestone, I went to see him this morning. Lets just say there were some install issues on my DP's that was just very sloppy work. Replace a gasket and some bolts...all good now.

Where did you get them installed? Did you mean installation issues or material quality issues?

I'm not going to publically through them under the bus. But the material quality was not the issue here. I'll PM you.

kyleb350 · 11-20-2009, 02:57 PM

If it's who I'm thinking of, they've botched some exhaust work on my car as well. I have no problem expressing my dislike of a vendor or local shop. People need to see those reviews too

Nebster · 11-20-2009, 02:59 PM

who was it?!?!?

kyleb350 · 11-20-2009, 03:03 PM

For me, it was A&L. I bought the Riss Racing midpipes through them. After the install, it was leaking, so they fixed it by welding an extension sleeve to my catback section

. I found out later that the two pipes were different sizes.

CubanJJ09 · 11-20-2009, 03:03 PM

kinda wonder how you botch a dp install, gasket here, bolt there done

I should have taken pics.

The bolts were different sizes not necessarily matching the holes for the same size holes. You could see where one of the heads was stripped. One bolt wasn't even in all the way because it was too big and was stuck in this mid-install position. It had to be cut off.
