okay so a few of us have had the pleasure of dealing with RT Cats giving us their last breath. But as we all know, cats have nine lives, so I was thinking about what mine would re-incarnate as. Someone else mentioned that they gutted their cats. This sounds cool and simple. However, I think that the bubble might not be the best for flow. (This is me at my most ignorant state) So I thought maybe chop them and have a welder friend put straight pipes in place of the bubbles. So... anyone have any thoughts on that?

To cut or to gut... that is the question.

 

Have you all not contacted RT for warranty issues?

 

I guess i should have mentioned that i have contacted them. They're efforts at customer service were unconvincing.

 

have you contacted the shop which you purchased them from? the shop should be on their a$$ about replacing them since so many problems have occurred. you paid a lot of money for those man try and get something done

 

I understand they are bringin up the issue of proving that it was their fault, bascally putting the burden of proof on you, this can be reversed, if they say "how can you prove you didnt break it due to a bad mod or mixture" you say "how can YOU prove it didnt break due to inproper manufacturing?"

You push hard enough, escalate, send a certified letter, and you should get them replaced. Tell them youll send the old ones back so they can investigate it to be able to prevent it from occuring to other customers, its only in their best interest to do these things.

 

k guys, thanks for the support... but i'm really over that already. I do appreciate it though so if you'd like to contribute to that topic, please post at: https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....7&pagenumber=3

I'm sure failsafe along with everyone else can benefit from your contributions as well.

so...back to the topic at hand, what would you do? cut or gut?

 

Gut them, its easy......... Take a wood type hole saw on your drill and chip away at the cat material. Takes about 20 mins a side.

Man thats gonna be one expensive set of test pipes you got there.

 

You will not get your money back on them..........
Either Way.....

 

Gut. Saves time and money. May also help you pass the visual than straight pipes?
