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....

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 ****. 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 **** 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!!

Ahhh ****.. 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 ****** 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

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.

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.
