Looks like the exhaust goblins visited my car...





Can't figure out why. IIRC, there have been problems with welds on HKS exhaust systems but that doesn't appear to be the issue here. I'm hoping to get it fixed. Can anybody recommned a good shop in the Seattle-Everett area to make the repair. Thanks.

 

I told you guys the HKS is a total POS

I've welded mine up in different places about 4-5 times.

 

Hopefully mine holds up!

 

I dunno of anywhere up there, but if you decide not to fix it i'll offer you an unreasonably low sum for it.

 

Ray, can you recommend somebody to fix it? I've got it fixed ghetto style now with some shitty wire I found in my garage. Fortunately the break occured where it did. It's louder but really not that much louder.

 

FTL may be able to fix it ........ if they just tacked it with the system in place and then you removed the affected sections it in their driveway and let them finish weld it on the bench he'd probably do it pretty cheap since you'd be doing most of the labor.
Give Russ a call or I can talk to him for you if (you're scared) you'd like.

 

i'd be curious to know how old bby's exhaust is cuz hks had some updated versions.

 

can't tell the vintage but it doesn't look like it has a ton of miles on it

 

The system isn't that old. It was replaced in late 2005 after this incident. Since then, the car has been driven about 20k miles.

 

too bad you didn't keep the old pieces of the damaged exhaust ...... my pack ratting a$$ would have been good to go in your current situation

Hey, come to think of it, if you get a new exhaust, can I have the dead pieces of this one? I'd love to upgrade to one of these high quality (Ben type) 2005 vintage HKS's
