RE: [SPOC] XRC problems, please respone ASAP

Joey,   The move to FL is really up in the air…..there is so much at stake to move the entire family down right now and I just don’t think that we are financially ready to make the jump without having a house our own home. The wife has expressed interest in moving, we just need to push it back right now until we can be sure that we can get into a home and be ready to go.  So for now, FL is on hold   Scott W.

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
