I always had heard XAT was one of the better shops too, sad to see such shoddy work for the amount of money invested, I'd expect that from a backyard project not a "respectable shop"

Amazingly horrible work. I've heard enough mixed reviews about XAT to stay away. Come to think of it... I really don't trust any shops on here.
I don't understand how a shop can put out such shit work and feel OK about themselves. Some of that stuff looks highly unsafe.

XAT FTMFW!!!
I have been welding for less than a month and my first exhaust job(also my first tubular weld job) had ZERO leaks.. Its amazing what a fucking wire wheel a flapper disk and some G damn time will do... XAT will get what is coming to them, and good luck getting compensated for what you lost.
Also, Just a shoe in here... You wouldnt of had this problem if you didnt get rid of the 4 cylinder

Damnnnnnn.
I understand the Stock KA mounts,You weld a rectangular piece to them.
But the welds,and everything else...Geez.
I'm in the middle of swapping my s14 to a LS1,and it's by no means easy.
Alot of fab is needed,Can't half ass in these parts.
Good luck man.
