To be fair, the welds look similar to what is advertised on their website. It's good that Jeremy is taking care of you, but based on the pics on their site, it looks to be of similar weld quality.

I am hoping so, I originally ordered from them because of all the great feedback on here.

I honestly didnt look at the pics on their site, I checked out the build thread of their silver car and was planning to go a similiar route so i just went ahead and ordered. I wasnt expecting robot perfect tig welds but atleast a complete and consistant mig weld.

I am officially pissed off now... @FT-86_SpeedFactory
i wasted 3 hours tonight installing the second exhaust they sent me. to find leaking welds. pic of the bubbles blowing out of the weld at the v-band flange

I told ya to send it back for the Tanabe, but No, you didn't listen!

Sucks to see that man. FT86 Speedfactory are usually good to deal with. But I cannot comment on their products.

Shit Luck · 08-12-2013, 10:59 PM

yeah well needless to say I feel like a total dumbass.
whats that old saying....
fool me once, shame on you.
fool me twice, shame on me.

Bummer.

I am surprised to see MIG welds instead of TIG. I guess MIG is faster for production.

If they were willing to work with you on overnight shipping costs maybe give them one more shot?

It does seem they are willing to stand behind their product, which in my book would warrant one last try.

OR, you might seek out a local welder who could spend 10 seconds and fix that for you and you'd be on your way. It's a weld, not a brain aneurism.

i get that, i didnt spend my money to have to weld it myself.
i didnt get any farther than that weld on my leak test either, i am betting more leak.

JimmyMac · 08-12-2013, 11:42 PM

I hate MIG welds. You could cash it in and go for this one. It's a little more though...

i may just give up and build my own... i dont really have the time to mess with it but i have about given up on venders at this point(not my first issue with a vendor and welds)

HSC · 08-13-2013, 12:53 AM

that sucks. was shopping different single exits but know I won't be choosing this one. Good luck with the situation!

FT-86 SpeedFactory · 08-13-2013, 01:26 AM

This looked perfect and we sent photos before going out. Sorry it has a pin hole. We'll make sure you get a label when we get back to the shop and a full refund. We've had no other issues on these. My apologies for the trouble on this.

I can't believe how kids these days get fooled with gimmick parts with bullshit dyno graphs.
