Ok, so I needed some exhaust bits to fix the miata's check engine light before I sell it (bad pre-cat), and I call these guys up. I basically say I need the whole exhaust (manifold, heat sheild, downpipe, mid pipe (w/ cat) - everything except the muffler.
I went round and round on the phone with them for a week (i'm out of the shop, i'm off tomorrow, i'm picking up a car today, blah blah) before I could pin him down and give him some money (odd how that works). I was very clear in what I needed, and handed over my visa for $100, and I thought it was all done, rightt?
No!
They did not send me the mid pipe with the cat, and I called today to complain about this and the dude keeps arguing with me that the whole pipe, with the muffler is one peice - and i'm like "look, on my car, the muffler unbolts and all the aftermarket exhaust list the same fitment for 99-2005 miata. But he said "i got a dozen of these things here and they're all one piece" , which is absurd. He then says "well the whole piece is heavy and its a pain in the ass to ship so I didnt send it".
Besides, how would you replace the exhaust if it didnt split going over the rear suspension and axles?
Anyways... the parts I did get look to be in pretty dirty/rough shape, but they're exhaust parts so whatever - but I wont order anything from those guys again, and I sure cant recommend them to anyone. I'm going to call them again tomorrow and at least get some of the $$ back, since their website lists the manifold and the downpipe at $35 each.

One of these days I'll make a post about all the good vendors out there......
