Here is the problem...you can't have it both ways. If the part does not fit then you still need to respond to the issue as a manufacturer. Also if the part does not fit and you need to modify it you can't tell me my warranty is now void because I needed to make your part fit lol And finally you can't charge that much for a direct fit exhaust that does not fit. |

I bought a pair of OBX headers for a Tahoe and the shop that installed it said they were very well built and fit right in with no issue. And they are cheap, so price doesn't always mean quality.
But Yanniz is right about old car reproduction parts, they just don't fit. It's usually because the manufacturer was using a mold of a mold, and 50 years year it could be that times 3. So I end up with a center air vent for a 67 that is nearly an inch too wide. A part that is only 6 inches wide to begin with.

I think with older cars the tolerances where not nearly what they are today.. I bet you can find differences in each car that was built back then |

For what it's worth I have the SW cat-back with NPP, took the exhaust shop about two hours to get the stock system out and the SW installed. Only issue we has was the left side shifted a bit on the drive home (not sure why), brought it back and they readjusted it and tightened everything up and have had absolutely ZERO issues since......
That was in January of 2017..... Sorry for your headache but just because of your situation doesn't mean their product is shit, I can't speak for their customer service because I never dealt with them directly but I've had no issues out of their product.

All you have to do is buy through a company like Summit Racing & you can return anything to them, no questions asked.

In addition, this is a quality control issue or defect issue which the manufacturer will not stand behind. When a manufacturer does not stand behind their product then I would classify it as shit. |

The manufacturer has asked me to take a video to show them the exhaust which would show nothing and they asked me to take measurements of each part and compare them to photos of each part next to a measuring tape they sent me. The only problem is none of the photos are clear enough to show the length. Ridiculous. Then when I point this out they totally stonewall me. Then they also do the same to the reseller. So to be honest I don't really care what your opinion here is as I have given full detail of the entire situation. And what other side would you like to hear??? There is no other side because they have done nothing to resolve this. Like I said.. This should have been handled as a simple warranty or defect issue and they refused to do it the right thing. And I also went through the process of troubleshooting the issue myself... Still nothing. |

Owning SSes for 50 Years

I am surprised to hear that anyone is unhappy with Stainless Works axle backs. I had mine installed a week or so ago at my favorite muffler shop...normally would have done it myself, but my accident injuries prevented it. The muffler shop did it in no time at all and charged me a whole $60 for the entire bill. They said it was a very simple install. I checked their work and everything is perfectly straight and they sound amazing! I'm sure there can be problem pieces that don't exactly fit as described, but you'd be hard pressed to ruin Stainless Works reputation with me...just sayin.

Mine didn't. 3 installs and reinstalls. Does not fit. Reached out to stainless works and told them exactly what part I think was cut or bent wrong. They wanted nothing to do with resolving. Even a bad company can pump out parts that fit most of the time, but the true test of a company is how they stand behind their product when there is a defect, part that does not fit, etc. Example I read here that early Borla customers had AFM valve issues and Borla sent out replacement parts no questions asked. If you could see my back and forth communication with SW it would make your head spin. Even the reseller said when they contacted SW they could not believe the terrible attitude they had. |
