I will try and make this short. I have no one close to where I am that can do mandrel exhaust so I have hunt as far as 13 hours away to drive and get it done. want to come from rear factory cat weld in 3" on both sides. to a vibrant performance 2-1 3"-4" single out merge. dual magnaflow 4" mufflers. like luis exhaust all stainless (who has helped a bunch with pics and part numbers). I have two weeks off from woman and kid for first time in a year and need this exhaust done like this to stay cali compliant and pulley down on the 1900.
so I find a place "columbus exhaust" email him....send some pics of luis exhaust as he ask, get a quick quote. they are over 200 miles a way and I may have to take time off work to get this done I dont know. I send him an email and let him know my dates I can work with him, he mentioned in a breif convo he wanted to work on this at night. no problem. just keep communicating with me.one phone call he mentions a depsoit and I agree. few emails later no word, i give him a call on last friday, he is busy and will call me back. no word friday, so this past monday/tuesday I send him and email with part numbers and ask about deposit. no response. Now mind you every email/ phone call always started with "I know you are a busy person" because I do understand he is. Dont have a fucking email addy and two phone numbers and advertise online if you dont have time for people. I need to know whats up before I round trip 400 miles for nothing.
so I call him late as i can yesterday afternoon. he proceedes to basically go off on me " i dont have time for all this, i can see where this is going with you (wtf this mean). i am not interested in this project anymore"....so wait you no longer want to do my exhaust because now right when I am trying to call you and give you a deposit and I dont know what you want. " i just dont want to do it any more. I dont want to do your exhaust" fine...click.................mother fucking asshole, two weeks wasted. I am driving 200 miles to see your ass, all you had to do was say "call me XXX to give me a deposit, your parts are on order, and this date works best for me" and I would have not seen him till that date.....
now I am fucked back to square one........trying to find someone without thier head in their ass that wants to do something more than the red neck dual exhaust. first time to myself with no kid/wife in forever, and now my highlight of getting my exhaust done I have wanted for over a year will not happen, nope, now it will be shampoo'n carpets.....
I am third gen car guy(not change oil and plugs kind, the "hey I can make you astro van do 10s in the 1320' kind) I have a degree in design and working on a mechanical engineering degree......in my field, I have customers. no matter how busy I am if they want info. They get their fucking info, machines stop, production stops, etc.......at no time did I not agree with his quote, even told him I was trying not to be a pain in the ass. I just wanted feed back.
so if any one knows jimmy at columbus exhaust tell him thanks for shitty communication, had job been done just as it is in my head it would have had a bonus comming.....but talking is too much for him.
I am at zip 32539.......if anyone knows where/ who between 17th-28th that can do my exhaust in stainless. knows how to communicate more than a fucking cave man and wants to help me out. please let me know, I feel I have exhausted most my options. 3" from rear factory cat weld (one wideband o2 and pass rear o2 bung). smooth 45 degree transistions to vibrant performance 4" merge. single 4" magnaflow using a 24" main muffler and 14" resonator muffler with a magnaflow tip.
so frustrated......I no longer have a welder or chop saw nor access to tig to do this myself anymore. so I am reaching out, willing to travel a bit. have to be before weekend of 22nd, to ensure its done and I am home. I cant miss 2 weeks of work to do exhaust. also have to have all parts I need ready to go. looking for someone who is willing to fucking talk about what/ when /whats needed.
sorry for the rant, waited a year....get close enought that its only thing I look forward too with two weeks off.....now dropped cause I called to give a deposit cause he never would tell me wtf he needed when/ or if he was even good by the dates I could do it..........
fucking comunicate people....
