For the love of god, they should have atleast grinded down the welds to make them appeal somewhat professional.

That's horrible, I haven't been welding long, but my shit looks professional compaired to that.

XAT has a decent reputation, and no shop is perfect, so when you have problems I think it speaks more to the shops rep how they solve them.

There is always 2 sides to the story, but XAT's better be good on this one.

gfto. I even said that I didnt like the whole spacer thing,I understand what your saying gotboost but if hes only complaining about the welds on the piping,the spacers.. those would be easy fix and not haveto make a HUGE deal out of it. Everything else is what reallyy matters.. the motor itself being in the car and running right? im not swinging on any nuts,
I just know they have been around for a loong time and do awesome work.

hypothetically, Im pretty sure he was in a rush to get it back, they had a date and what not to get it done.. so they had to hurry and do the welding etc. in time to get the car to the owner. Hes not local soo shit like that could happen I supose?

If the car was dying at every light, why on earth did you drive the 8 hours home? I know if I just dropped 10K I wouldve turned around 5 minutes from the shop if it was anything less than perfect.
