Default Flowtech Woes...

Some of you may remember my rant about LMR, and their poor customer service. Well I have more to complain about! I ordered the Flowtech longtubes and Flowtech o/r shorty x-pipe. Well the xpipe is stainless and looks pristine! BUT...the longtubes..look like complete CRAP. The paint is chipped off, they are rusted, inside and out..the flange on the one side is dented and bent and overall they just look like crap. I fired an email to them with pictures so we'll see what they say...what would you guys do?

-Jeremy








and I'll just throw this one in cuz minus the headers..this = SEXX

If they are used un-coated headers then they look about right to me. May I asked what you had to pay fro the headers?

Looks like they sent you a reboxed returned set. That sucks. Good luck getting a internet company to do what they should.

Those look pretty bad for brand new. My MAC LTs look like that but have been on the car for 3 years.

But as long as there is no damage I would say throw them on since the will look like that soon anyway.
