:cussing:

this was supposed to be installed tomorrow...... guess not....

Maybe it will still sound ok without the resonator... :bye:

i dont think it will sound that bad with no resonator but then again i could be wrong , that sucks , be sure and check out my vendor rating thread to stop shit like this from happening , good luck man

That will be loud.

it will sound like a bumble bee.....raspy

call em up, complain, get some money back for inconvenience, have them ship you the resonator

Oh boy... this bad boy aint cheap either!! Im starting to have reserves about TAG. I think I would only deal in person with them right now as things stand. People seem to be having problems with them....

your god damn right it isnt cheap......i want a whole new peace, WITH POLLY HANGERS

Honestly.. if I can give you a piece of advice, I delt with Mel this weekend. He strikes me as the kinda guy who doesnt take shit. He probably didnt have much to do with the piecing and shipping of this item. Call and ask to speak with him, act professional with him, tell him what you would like and reason with him. Im sure he will get done what you need. He carried himself in a very professional manner on saturday, was very impressed. But these situations dont impress me.

i will say that whenever i talked to mel he was very nice and easy to deal with..... so hopefully this shit will get taken care of.... its just that i was expecting to have this on tomorrow...... and now i have to go through repackaging and shipping (that i'm not welling to pay for).... and ahhh.... i have zero time for this.

Most def man! I totally understand what you mean! I wouldnt have time for that either and you shouldnt have to pay for it. Its their mistake, they should fix the mistake at no cost to you and possible compensation...

That sucks that they sent ya something not exactly as ordered. I would be pisssed! Ya call them and try to get it resolved, Maybe be he'll do right and fix it up for you!

p.s. I wasn't impressed with Mel on saturday! The guys(distillion) did a great job with the Tag meet but Mel didnt seem interested with the cobalts or talking to us guys. He spent half the day working on own car!! I expected a little more from a shop trying to generate some customer base, and some good reputation here on the forum!!

thanks for the compliment, man that means alot, i wish i coulda mingled more with some of you, all of you seemed wicked and we gotta gather again soon:) im gonna try and hook saunders up quick time, ill go there and personally discuss the issue.

I think Mike did a shit job, made me wait around for hours to get on the dyno, was completely disintrested after he got my $40. Really felt uncomfortable around there.. like it wasnt my place to be




HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH

hell, even w/ a resonator on my ARK N2, its still loud and raspy as hell. But I love it that way! :twothumbs

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH

its cus you were staring at my ass all day... didnt really wanna talk to you:P

Saunder1986 your in good hands!

Ahhh shit.. you saw me doin that?? I was just counting the hairs, seeing as though Sarah said it was so hairy! BWHAHAHA


Nah B.. Mike and Rhys fuckin killed it. Most organized meet I have been to thats for sure. And the fact that Mel personally dyno'd the cars, I liked that personally. I kinda liked the feel that he wasnt there to try to sell all his stuff, he seemed impressed with the numbers we were putting down and stuff.... dont have anything bad to say about the day. Although everyday could use more ass... LoL

Saunder1986 your in good hands!

Yes great hands ;)

HAHAHA

called tag, mel told me tag dosnt use resonators, because no one wants them, they want higher flowing... as for the polly bushings, hes sending them to me..... i told him i didnt wanna a raspy exhaust, he said it wouldn't be.... so install is next weds.... i hope install goes good....

hmmmm
i dunno.
I hope for your sake its not godawful loud and raspy.....

but resonators = good sound from my experience

well if its raspy he said he would send me a resonator.

saunders the exhaust didnt sound to raspy on mine but everyone is diffrent . barryblue ss yea mel was busy with his car b/c he was trying to get running for the next moring he was taking to track for some tuning for scn in few weeks . thanks oldsskol for making us feel good . I had blast , ps saunders the boys at tag will make iit right u if u dont like

did you have a res or not???..... also... one of the hangers for my muffler is like bent in a way that the top part is touching the muffler... on the other hanger on the muffler the hanger is welded in 2 places, on the other side its only welded on one place......not really worried about that, easy fix, just heat it up and re bend it.

it will sound like a bumble bee.....raspy

Hey Hey there is no reason to put down the bumble bee :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm willing to bet that it is going to be crazy loud. I have a 3" with an 18" resonator and it is real loud.

loud is ok.... as long as its not raspy

Well lets hope not. Post up a sound clip when you get it on there! Good Luck

How does the exhaust sound saunders1986?

I wouldn't run without a resinator, my friend did that too his, I dunno I dont like it. Sounds too raspy, reminds me of my snowmachine, not good on a car.

resonator cost more than piping and you payed the price that said it vame with a resonator, if you dont get one you should get some money back. I've deaalt with tag and been dissapointed from them too.

install in 4 hours guys, i'll let ya know how it sounds, if i dont like it mel said he would send me a res,.................... still didnt get my polly hangers that were susposed to be sent out last week.......... using stock hangers untill they come in

sound clip

OH SHIT posted the wrong clip LMFAO

Did you get the header on too?
That must be soooo loud.

Ill hear it on Friday, hes gonna drown me out on the highway, I know it lol!

yeah man i really dont like it, its so fuckin raspy

Sorry dude =(. Ill hit you up on MSN in a few hours, Im heading out for a bit. Well anyway get them to send ya a res. and it should help it out!

muahaha, but it wont be on by friday hahahaha....... i'll probly shake the door handles off your car, a harley guy passed me today and reved at me.... bastard, i drooped it in 2nd and let er rip...... he didnt rev again....

Sorry dude I just listened the sound clip. I think you ruined the sound of your car.Get a resonator or send it back and get the gmpp or corsa exhaust. Just my opinion.
Ciao,
C

i did put a res on it, but the exhaust gets so hot it melted my bumper. twice. a TECH that removed the exhaust said the problem is with the cat in the tag exhaust, he said that it was a faulty cat.... BECAUSE my header is warm, all other exhaust pipes were warm, but the cat you couldn't even touch, to the point when you lick your finger and stick it on it, it would sizzle, i think somehow i got a bad cat in a bunch. i havent told mel this yet........ also, the tech ran tests on my car. and found out that it was running awesome, everything was perfect after the stock exhaust was put on. so this rules out that something is wrong with my car.

with the tag exhaust my car also threw a CEL..... checked the cel and it said the cat was fucked.... me and mel had a little spat on the phone today, he wont refund my money, only half, and if the cat is fucked, than he dosnt know what he will refund me. i'm thinking about getting a lawyer since a tech told me the cat was fucked from day one. and not caused by me...

mel told me hes sending me a new exhaust with resonator :) kick ass.... lets hope this one dosnt melt my bumper!

Nice! See you in a couple hours.

Nice! See you in a couple hours.

highway fun!! hope you know where were goin cuz i dont lmao

Heres a couple pics I snapped of Sam's melted bumper

looks like it was touching the bumper.The gm tips are dusl wall.

no believe it or not, it wasnt touching, had just as much clearance as the stock tip

how is the header did it fit nice I think I am going to have to get one like that.

didnt install it yet... donno if i will...
