Donating Members 703 Member For: 20y 4m 4d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 31/01/06 01:39 AM Share Posted 31/01/06 01:39 AM (edited) Gday AllCar went into a ford dealer yesterday to be fitted with the herrod quad output full stainless exhaust system. Although the car defenitly looks better than the old system , as soon as I picked it up I noticed the left side sticks out further than the right (its hard to see in the pics but it stands out like f*ck when you see it in person). And I think they both protrude too far from the rear of the car (I already have a third degree burn on my leg to prove that). And the left one hangs lower than the right. When I asked them about this they said all the systems are like this because the left pipe has to go around the control blade irs. They said every ba they have fitted is like this. Does anyone know if that's true?? Im sure ive seen it on other cars and it doesnt stick out that far!!! Anyone got pics??And I even specifically said to the guy, did you take it for a run to listen for any rattles?? Yeah its fine. After 30 seconds in the car I could hear a rattle. And its not quiet either, sound like its rubbing on something every time the car bounces.I plan on taking it back, because when I pay that much of my bloody hard earned cash for an exhaust system, I expect it to be perfect. In fact I would of left it with them, if I hadnt been waiting for 2 and a half hours longer than when they said to come in and pick it up!!!Cheers Edited 31/01/06 01:42 AM by ntturbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be happy at all with that ford dealer! Btw the system looks awesome. Just love the quad pipes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen a few cars with this mod and the all looked great... couldnt really fault them. I reckon the contacting Herrods idea is a good one.

When you take it back tell them you don't want the 17 year old apprentice looking at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donating Members 703 Member For: 20y 4m 4d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 31/01/06 02:53 AM Author Share Posted 31/01/06 02:53 AM I just emailed Herrod with a tidied up version of my first post. I asked them to set the dealer straight before I go back there. I also offered to take the car down to Herrod in thomastown so they could have a look. To tell you all the truth I really dont want it to go back to this unnamed dealer because I dont think they know sweel f*ck all about what they are doing. That and I was offended by the way they handled my questions, effectivly disregarding my comments completly and assuming I dont know sweet f*ck all.That and if they decide to look me in the eye and bullsh*t to my face again, ill end up on an assault charge.
