Pypes Exhaust - Buyer Beware!

I ordered a stainless (header back according to their information) crossflow exhaust system and head pipes for my 69 Z28 on Sept 25. When I received the system, the exhaust ended at the back tires rather than coming out behind the tires or at the back bumper area. I call them up, "you must also buy exhaust tips". OK, so I order a set of EVT58 polished stainless tips on Oct 8. Then I get an email that the tips are on backorder until Nov. 3. On Nov. 7 I get a postcard saying that the tips are on backorder until Nov. 28. Yesterday I call to see whats going on. "Well it will be early December before we have anymore in stock and oh by the way we have changed them to an EVT59 because the EVT58 is discontinued". So I ask what the difference is. "We made the tips longer so they fit better on the 70-81 cars, you will have to cut the tips off for a 69". WTF! How do you cut off a slash tip on a polished stainless tip and make it look good? "Use a hacksaw or a chopsaw and file it down when you are done".

Stay away from these people. You might as well buy some pipe and build your own system!

Re: Pypes Exhaust - Buyer Beware!

Instead off cutting the end that sticks out the back maybe you can cut the end that attaches to the pipe? Or even cut the pipe?
