Well guys. I just received all my parts. I got the sportlines, the dc strutbar and the AAP Catback exhaust. I love the way it looks. I cant wait to put it on. I will have pictures and maybe some videos. Ill tell you guys all about it later.

 

sweet, let us know and give us some pics before they are installed and after

 

Awesome!!! I want to know how the installation of the sportlines go!!!!

 

Tell me how the AAP exhaust goes on, i'm thinking of ordering if it bolts up fine...

 

Sounds like someone has a busy weekend.

 

alright guys I couldnt wait! lol. im at work right now and theres a shop in the same shopping center. I decided to drop off the car. ! its gona be done in the next 30 minutes. Updates soon!!!!!!!

 

THE EXHAUST IS HORRIBLE QUALITY!!!!!!


I went to the muffler shop to install the exhuast and the mechanic told me he has never seen worse welds then that pipe. After 1 hour and 30 min of waiting i get a call from the mechanic. He calls me over to show me that the pipe was not long enough and that the flange was at an angle and over an inch off to the left and that is why a simple 15 min install turned into over 2 hour install. After a long debate the mechanic had to cut off the flange and correct it. He also had to cut the pipe and extend the pipe so that the exhaust system would fit. I then called Altered Atmosphere Performance and told them about it and got horrable customer service in response, they were not willing to help me and would not even consider a refund or a partial refund for such a bad piece. All said and done i would not reccomend this exhaust or this company to anyone. Stay away i learned my lesson dont learn your lesson the hard way. After 660 dollars for a bad exhaust, a one month wait, and a 125 dollar exhaust correction im am completely dissatisfied.

 

ouch dude, sorry to hear that. I think i'll heed your warning. Call back and see if you can talk to a manager, or the owner.

 

Yea, that sucks...

The Magnaflow is awesome!

 

I would be interested in seeing some pictures of the exhaust.

 

I was going to but. W.e i was too lazy to take pics of it like the bottom of it. He told me to take pics of it and send them to him and see what he could do. I mean the welds dont seem good at all man. But w.e. It sounds pretty nice and it crackles beautiful. However it is nowhere near the quality of 600 dlls. Ill have pics of my car later on tonight with the springs and tip and everything. Also can someone pls tell me how to put the pics like here in my post. Cuz I dont know how to put that.

 

That's the one I'm going with...SWEET!!!!

 

I've had my magnaflow for about 2 days now. The tone of it is FREAKIN AWSOME! However, it's not loud!!! The friggen resignator is huge on it. If I were to cut the resignator out and put a straight piece of pipe, I know I would make it louder, but would I keep the same tone of the exhaust or would that change?

 

i RECOMMEND YOU GUYS GO WITH EITHER BORLA OR MAGNAFLOW. DONT BUY NO CHEAP LOOKING STUFF ANYMORE. YOUR CARS EXPENSIVE SO DONT PUT NO BAD QUALITY STUFF ON IT. PLEASE. I LEARNED MY LESSON ALREADY.

 

The tone is waht makes that exhaust so sweet. It's sounds very European I think, almost like a BMW in-line 6 sound. I think loud exhausts are out now. I love the sound the way it is.

The resonator is what's giving you that deeper throaty sound. Mess with the resonator and you're going to get more raspy like a Honda sound.

 

I'm thinking of going with the Corsa myself, but i dunno... either that or magnaflow...

 

Corsa, magnaflow or borla are all smart choices. I am glad I read this post cuz i was considering AAM! Sorry Ljavy, makes you wanna put a rock in their frik'in shop window!

 

Sorry to hear that...I'm glad I ended up going with Magnaflow, no regrets here, because I was leaning towards AAP, again sry to hear that...

 

On top of evertyhing I come to find out I also have an exhaust leak. How bad can that be to the car.. How many horses can I lose from that.

 

K guys. Dave said he was going to help me out. He is sending me a new exhaust. I just received an OFF exhaust. Hopefully this one will have good flanges and welds. Ill tell you guys all about it.

 

First you say...
Then you say…
So which one is it? Did he offer to “see what he could do” or NOT????
I mean if the pipe had problems you call the vendor and try to sort it out.
You claim they have “horrable <sic> customer service” but it sounds like they were at least willing to do SOMETHING. Was it really that horrible? OR WAS IT…
Get your **** together man, report the facts!!

hey i hope the new one works out fine, but i'm still going to prolly go with the GMPP corsa exhaust, but let us know how the new one works out...

 

OKay here is everything exactly how it happened. plain and simple.

1) I receive the exhaust and take it to the muffler shop. While im there the installer calls me over and says to me that the catback can not be installed due to the fact that one of the flanges is sideways and doesnt line up with the pipe coming from the catalytic. At this point I call mike and tell him about it. And he doesnt sound to helpful. And says I would have to take pictures and such. He also tells me that this was the muffler shop who could not install it right. Well I leave it at that come over here to the forums and post my THE EXHAUST HAS HORRIBLE QUALITY! Post. Due to the fact that the exhaust had poor quality welds and was also one of the flanges was done wrong.
2) Last night after installing the exuast I start hearing the biggest exhaustleak in the world. Coming from right under where the 2.25 catalityc pipe meets the 3.0" pipe.
I go to the meets and lost to every single car I raced to. S2000, Acura rsx type S with headers exhaust and intake. And I was dead even with a chipped GTI 1.8T. Before I had the exhaust in my car I used to beat the s2000 and the Type S and smoke the 1.8T. Now I lost@@@!!!!!!! AHHH that exhaust leak was killing.
3) So this morning after having my CAFE CUBANO to get ready for the day Ahead of me. I went to the muffler shop again. At this point He lifted my car And I was able to see all the leaks this exuast had. Most of the welds had leaks plus the one where 2.25 meets 3.0". The car was running VEry BAD.
4) I call dave and I tell him about the condition of the exhaust at this point he asked me if 100 would do it. I said no and then I asked him for a full refund, he then replied that no refund could be done since this exhaust had been modified ( the 2 inches that were off had to be rewelded by my muffler shop) He asks me if I wanted another brand new nicely done exhaust. I said yes. After all he made sure I was served well and helped out through my problem. Now the only thing is that I lost 100$ on the installation of the exhaust. However I am happy to know they were there for me and helped out and are giving me a new one.
5) Right now Im just going to leave the leak there and wait for my new exhaust to arrive which I will tell you guys how it went.
Hope that helped WOPONTour. Just dont take it so aggresively next time man. lol Take it easy man!!!!!!

 

yeah, i dunno, this is fishy. so take some pics of where he fixed the pipe and let us see. At least back u p how shitty the product was. let us decide

 

i was typin my post when you did yours. disregard the last on since you posted that ^^
