looking to take your resonator out?
 

hi all, i recently went to a shop to take out my resonator

they do good work, but i wasn't sure about their welding, my friends go there and good work is done, so i inquired about taking out my resonator and getting it replaced with a pipe

they said sure, so i trusted them to do what i wanted

they were done, lowered my car and drove it out, didn't show me the welds or anything, didn't ask if i wanted my resonator back, i had to ask for it

right when i was about to leave, they told me to come back because the weld wasn't finished

drove around for a week with exhaust leak, went back to fix

fix took about 2 hours, picked up car, still leaked

looked under the car, ugly welds, they took off the hanger off the resonator and just left it on the resonator so my whole exhaust was sagging and rubbing against things


at this point i should of contacted them to fix it again, but if they did it wrong the first 2 times why would the third time be any better

they did a great job, fit me in on their tight schedule, told me what they were going to do, showed me along the way, told me what to expect IF something were to go wrong

i will NOT be revealing where i originally got the weld done at, please do your research before doing any kind of welding work done

big thanks to Curtis at the speed syndicate for doing such great work!

also thanks to alex for working on a civic looool



GO TO THE SPEED SYNDICATE FOR WELDING!

Those first welds :rukidding:

Those first welds look like they were done by first-timer.. who's drunk.. and high.. :facepalm:

Looks like they used a stick welder.. let me guess "cash deal" too?

damn, those welds look worst then my first welds. Did they do it with the exhaust mounted still?

it looked like my cat welded it the first time geeze, glad Speed Syndicate fixed it up for you!

yeah cash deal

and not sure, but i didn't see my exhaust taken off at all ever so probably

Why would you not reveal who did the first welds? If they did a shitty job, they deserve to be outed.

^ could be another vendor... don't want to piss the vendors off??

LOL at those first welds. I knew it was bad but not that bad. That shit looks like a hella bad tumor.

The name of the shop that did those first welds is the same name of a Las Vegas hotel :)

They obviously tried to weld it overhead while still on the car instead of taking it off and doing it properly. Brutal welds.

Berz out.

Those are booger welds!

Oh I stayed there on my recent visit to Vegas

Shitty hotel tho.

I've done nicer welding than that, On my first try in a garage... Can you PM to me where you went?

That is aria hotel for those who are too lazy google

The logo was in the picture =P

They can't be that stupid =P

That's a weld? :seriously:

Hmm people say aria is good. Never been there myself but that's just terrible. Guess a refund isn't possible because of the cash deal.

what's the point of your post that goes on rambling about how horrible and bad this shop welded your exhaust, then at the end you don't tell us the name of said shop?

:fulloffuck:

The public deserves to know who did that horrible weld job so they can avoid them like the plague (and then hopefully, they go out of business). Totally unacceptable.

Curtis is a G when it comes to welding, he pulled some shit on my fenders all the shops in town I asked said couldn't be done without fuckin up and having to repaint my whole quarter panels.

energy posted it

sound clip of exhaust

this vegas hotel in richmond will be closing down soon

Did that person even turn on the gas? :lol
Looks like Porosity. Then he tried to weld over it.


No gas = You can very clearly see the pores in the weld.

That's disgusting.

Makes me wonder if this person ever went through any formal training at all.
I know at BCIT they let the Autobody/Plumbers into the welding shop to learn how to Mig/Oxy+Fuel.

They either hired a bum, or someone who knew how to bullshit thier way through. Mig Welding is stupid easy. Point. Shoot. Move.

You would think at one point, the idiot looked at it and thought "Hey, this looks like shit. I should probably grind it down to hide it."

This person should be fired. Unless it was the owner. Then, well...:lol
