Spiral Flow Side Pipes

[eliminator]

Guy's you are not ordering parts for your Factory Mustang or whatever.

These cars are just like the originals, no two are exactly the same.

I put these same Spiral Sidpipes on my car after it was finished, another words replaced the existing stock sidepipes. Did they fit perfectly, no. So I did what any good car builder or fabricator would do and made the changes to make my pipes fit my car. That's what you do. That's what all of us car builders have done.

From your pictures it looks like an easy fix, I suggest you go that direction.

david, i dont feel insulted that you implied im a hack, which by the way is an insult, but thats only because you havent got a clue. if you didnt go on a thousand word tirade ending with an insult to anyone that doesnt agree with what you said i wouldnt have said a word. like i stated in my last post, if you cant do the minor tweaks to make it fit take it to someone who can, and go back to enjoying your car or selling it, whichever bring you to nirvana. now that rick has posted basically the same thing i said you can imply hes a hack too.have fun with that. brian

Brian,
Take it any way you want it, I was not insulting you or saying you were a hack at all. So you are saying Rick has the same opinion, so you both have the same standards and pride in ownership? I don't think so. I dont know Rick or his car, but from what I understand, he has a very above average exceptional car, so highly doubt he is a hack at all.
I am not the one who starts a non insulting post with "get a grip". Also, how do you know it wont "break the bank". I take it that because it wont break your bank, that your financially situation applies to everyone. Maybe I dont have the extra money to do this. Maybe if I knew I would have to do this I would not have bother buying the part.
I dont see where I ended any post with an insult, even my thousand word tirade.
Dont you worry Brian, everything will all work out in the end and I will be smiling.

Dave

Are you talking about my first sentance or the second? Or maybe the whole thing? Do yoiu even know? you seem to know a lot about passive aggressive, I wonder why.
OK Brian, as you say, I am a moron...what does this mean,"ill be here all week, make sure you tip your waitress."? If you have something to say, just say it and skip the code!

dave, theres no need to apologize. at this point it wouldnt matter anyway. i doubt its sincerity. youre right, opinions vary. you can post whatever you like. i too dont really remember everything we said at marks cruise nite. although i do remember you saying you would have bought my car if i had it for sale when you bought your car. but now its an average driver and not up to your high standards. i do know i didnt say i had issues, but i did say i tweaked a few things to make them to my liking. so dont put words in my mouth. im sure youll deny it or say you were humoring me anyway. maybe if you didnt send maurice a thousand word rant this wouldnt have got to where it is now. you have a way of turning people off. go back and read the last few posts you wrote to figure out how your posts to me are passive/agressive. hell it only took you the better part of a week to figure out that maybe you insulted me. im sorry your pipes arent perfect, but im twice as sorry the weavers have you as a customer. ive said all im going to say. im done posting on this thread. good luck ,keep on smiling . brian

dave, ive changed my mind on that statement. why dont you enlighten us on your shock changeover. youre the one that tossed it out during your rant post, though you werent too specific as to what that fiasco actually was. youre the one that started it so please do tell. im curious how something as simple as a shock changeover can turn in a fiasco.
after youre done with that explain to everyone why you attacked me because i took exception to you saying anyone who disagrees (flamed) with you on this forum is a "weaver lover" and "needs to stay on the good side of the weavers". cause thats only thing i took exception to in your rant. it was easy to see that cause the title of my post were quotes from you. if "get a grip" triggered the insults ive endured, i think we can see the type of person the weavers have been dealing with. then you come back with my standards are higher than yours bull**** and justify it by saying its because my car has some dust on it and the carpets arent clean enough for you at a cruise nite not a car show. wow!!! but you do have the right to your opinion and just to clarify i said anyone with skill could fix your pipes in an hour. i can do it in 20 mins. im sure if it took me 30 you`d be on here saying what a unskilled fabricator i am. if youre going to use my own words against me you should at least get it right. brian

Rick,
I did not expect these pipes to fit "perfectly". I expected them to fit exactly as Unique and I had discussed when I was ordering them for my 1994 car.."I may have to elongate the holes a little in the bracket" were the exact words.
Are you telling me you had to remove the bracket or weld pieces on so you could pick up the holes in the frame. This may be an easy job for you and other talented folks, but it is not for me and many others I'm sure. If Unique knows these pipes are this far out of whack, they should either tell you up front, or sell it as a kit where you locate the brackets and weld it yourself, or hire someone to do this for you. All replica car owners are not master craftsmen in all areas, believe me, I wish I was. I have all the respect and admiration in the world for some of the talent I have seen on this forum and others.
I hear what you are saying about factory parts vs. this situation. Then why have a jig? If you are using a jig, it should be a lot closer than this. If this is not true, than I really am expecting to much indeed.

Your suggestion is exacly what I will have to do.

Thank You...Dave
