RE: [SPOC] XRC problems, please respone ASAP

[Scott W. Thomas]

Personally, in my opinion, you should be glad that you got anything from XRC at all. It took 3 months for me to get my 55mm throttle body from XRC and when it arrived, I wasn’t exactly thrilled with their engineering.   If you are in a bind and need to get ready for the show, take your exhaust to a shop and have them expand the pipe to fit your muffler. It won’t cost much to do and it will save you a lot of headaches. The other thing that you can do is to get an adapter to go from your pipe size to your muffler size, but I would just opt to take it to the shop and have them do it for you.   Where are you from, Reese? If you are near the HBG area and need some help, let me know and I would be more than happy to help you get the car ready.   Scott W.

Should I just get everything else I need from SPS from now on?  They seem to be of a higher quality. I plan on getting a turbo, should I just see if the shop can just adapt my whatever-the-hell-sized tubing to the muffler and go with it?  Or will another 2-3 months of calling and waiting be worth it to finally get the product I ordered? Truely frustrated to wits end, Reece
