Sorry to hear bud  On a better note for me, I just got mine welded in. Makes the car feel really solid. I havent really given them a test yet, but just around town you can tell by the lack of squeakes and the solid feel of the body they are working. Also, pulling into a gas station with a raised drive in area, you can really feel how these make the suspension to all of the flexing, instead of what used to be the whole car. The body stays flat (no more creaks either!) and you can really feel the suspension doing a lot more work. Cool!

sorry to hear as well Tyler. dont give up just yet. there has to be a shop that can do it. did you try the shady side of town? or a mustang shop? did they bother to put the car up and take a look at what needs to be done? its so simple. did you show them my pics? try offering to pay extra. i would really hate to see you go through all that trouble to just turn around and get rid of them.
and YIKES! they charged you $21 import duties on a $20 item?!

any shop that said they would do it says their welder isnt tough enough to do the welds.
And any shop that will do it dosent have a drive on lift. And the ones that have a drive on lift, and the proper tools wont do it... its a PITA

someone throw the bs flag, theres nothing complicated about welding these on, i think your having trouble finding people with welders who arent special ed

so you are telling me that there isn't one single exhaust shop around you?
and if you have gone to an exhaust shop and they have told you they can't weld them, then they should close the shop.
these are easier to weld up than a friggin exhaust!
