What a day.

Busy as I can ever remember, finished late and topped off with a call that my new big bore exhaust to be slung under my new chassis (T540 thread)cherry on the cake type of thing, thats cost the best part of a grand, taken over a month to come, as they had to use my old front pipes fron cats (now decats)backwards.

DOESN'T BLOODY WELL FIT, not by oooh just a little fettle here n there. But not even close, When Nick (Willow) says mmmm I can make it fit I have some hammers out back, makes you wonder what specialist providers think they can get away with.

I want to be clear here, that the distibutor whom I have got this from has been nothing but helpful and deep down I know he's not been happy with the supply of my exhaust up to now. I'm still yet to talk to him about this latest set back, I say latest because firstly they said they could make one, then admitted they had lost the pattern, so borrowed mine to copy, fat lot of good that was!! Then oh, our special pipe bending machine has broke, now its here and a load of old tosh it is too.
Had to ask to have old original sent back, If I carry on sending it back and forth
for a tweak and a turn IT COULD TAKE MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAARRRRGGGGHHH.
Did I mention the off the shelf alloy RADTEC radiator DIDN"T BLOODY FIT EITHER.
Is my car so different to everyone elses.
This stuff ain't cheap.
Everyone is so patient, and Nick says its the norm, and he's use to it, so rant over.

Has anyone bought a fantastic exhaust fo a sp6 in the last year for similar money that they would recommendfurious

I bought a system from Joolz, kits & claasics last year for my 4.5, not sure if he made it but what he supplied was spot on.

One of my overiding reasons for getting a replacement exhaust was:
a. to replace my non standard rear box.
b. get something that looked as good as Alistair H 's Cerbera which was the one I saw close up before mine was disassembled. That was also an AJP.

I just get the feeling that the Speed6 has been overlooked in this area, I do find that hard to believe, but unless anyone says otherwise, it just might be the truth?

Oh my God they've cut my original exhaust in half!!mad



And only sent half of it back, Its like they've taken it hostage and are only sending bits back till I pay the ransom.

But I thought I was helping.rolleyes

Anyway gotta plan, but it does seem all very surreal.

Watch this spaceclap

Joolz did my exhaust for my speed six and I've never had a problem with it, he's a top bloke and really knows his stuff, and he takes care and pride in everything he does.
He's a short clip of the sound http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWHzDv_NaAo&sns...

Are you sure the picture is not an exhaust system from a Pagani Zonda?
