I just purchased a used stillen exhaust form cwmizner and i recieved it today. When the ups guy came he says wow this box is beat up, i see it and at two ends of the box the exhaust is sticking out. I open the box and the mid section, were the resonators are, is bent. One of the support brackets that is across each resonator has broken off one resonator. I am so pissed. I have pics. Question is is it repairable? Is there anything i can do through ups because it was damaged? i would appreciate any info.

 

can't link to pictures in your email. sorry for the misfortune. can you contact the vendor you got it from? hopefully you can get this resolved.

 

Check again i think they work now. sorry.

 

Doesn't seem like anything an exhaust shop couldn't fix with a little welding. Is there any cosmetic damage to the rear section (i.e. the muffler and tips that everyone will see)? That is what I would be most concerned about. If it was insured, I would call UPS and see if they will compensate you for what it costs to be fixed. Some fault has to reside with the seller. Doesn't seem like he packaged it very well.

 

the muffler is fine and the x pipe is fine it is just that section and the support bar. I am going to bring it to a muffler shop and see what they can do tommorow. thanks for the input.

 

contact the seller to see if he added insurance to the product before shipping!! on something like that you should always add insurance

 

i packed it in the same box that I got it in, so thought it would be fine... let me know what the muffler shop says...

 

didn't add insurance, $167 was a lot to have it shipped, but I guess i should have added it, sorry

 

i don't see a breakage, although it does look bent..

 

The section where the little hole is circled in red if you could not see it, sorry pic was taken by my phone

 

UPS gives it a certain amount of insurance automatically. I want to say it is $100 or $500 by default. I would have the shipper put in a claim and have them pay for the repair. It is an easy fix.

 

That's a 10-second fix by any compentent welder.

 

thanks guys. Would go through the ups website for the claim tim?

 

The resonators don't need to be welded together.

On my stillen Gen II, they came as separate pieces.

You can just cut off the weld bar & weld the hole shut with a patch.

 

ok when i go to the muffler shop that could be an option, just to cut off that one bar adn just patch the holes
