Accelerated Performance Exhaust scrap price?
 

Anyone know how much I could get for my AP exhaust I have? I have yet to hear back from AP themselves, but I've had issues with it. Fitment was bad out of the box, so they advised me to bend the hangers to make it fit. The hangers themselves have some light surface corrosion, and it stretched a new urethane bushing so it looks almost like an 8 now. On top of all that, it's developed a leak now where 2 of the flanges meet. I couldn't sell it to anyone in good conscience.

Anyone know what I could get as a scrap price? It just sucks since the thing was $1000.

return the damn thing and get your money back .

The only thing is I've had it for a few months now and I don't think they'd accept it. Like I said, we'll see what the Accelerated guys have to say about it

They should have some kind of warranty on the product. Either way, AP doesn't need the bad press so it may be in their best interest to just send you another one.

They need to sell more exhausts so make sure you let them know you're an unhappy customer. Perhaps try also posting this in the tech section.

with pictures.

I don't want another Accelerated exhaust though. I've already invested in an Invidia N1 exhaust. I like the look of it a little more and it doesn't have that aggressive kink where the mid-pipe connects to the muffler. The only thing I've enjoyed about the AP is the rolled tips. I definitely don't know if it's a $1000 product.

so get a replacement and just send it to me! haha :thumbup:

I'm having fitment issues with mine, as well, but Don is going to take care of it. They've tweaked the design a bit and upgraded the jig. I'm pulling mine off this weekend, boxing it up, and returning it for a swap. I love the sound of this exhaust and, coupled with a Motiv test pipe, it performs.

We always suggest our customers stick with parts from manufacturers who are experienced in what they do and have been building them for a long while. Invidia, Magnaflow, Borla, Bosal, all have experience and the facilities to test the parts extensively. I hate to see folks end up with expensive parts that don't work :(

Are you sure its a accelerated performance exhaust and not a Agency Power exhaust?

Im always heard Agency Power being called AP.

It's Accelerated Performance. I just said AP for shortness sake. I've already ordered an Invidia exhaust to replace this one. The only thing I don't like is that the tips aren't rolled.

You know... I take it you've never contacted the manufacturer? Sorry, but that's not right. You should have at least give the company a chance to make things right before badmouthing them in a public forum.

I see you ignored the part where I said "I have yet to hear back from them" which means I have contacted them. I only received 1 response so far and that was asking me a question about what part I had installed. I never said that the company was bad, or that no one should ever buy from them. I just said that with the issues I've had, it definitely isn't a $1000 catback.

READ AND COMPREHEND NEXT TIME PLEASE.

Fair enough. I did read over that part. Has been long since you've been waiting for an answer? Hopefully, they will get back to you and resolve this.

Call and ask for Don? I had to call a couple times but I finally did get Don on the phone. I imagine he'd tell you what he told me: ship it back and they'll get it sorted out.

I'm going to shoot a few pics of it installed on my car so that they'll know what's 'off' on the fitment.

PM'ed Friday, received this and replied to it within the hour, haven't heard from them. Like I said, not here to bad mouth them. I was explaining why I was planning to possibly junk it, and to see if anyone knew local scrap prices.

I'm having serious no communication and non-delivery after payment of their turbo kit ordered weeks ago from Accelerated Performance..... I'm hoping to have to apoligize and give rave reviews.....but as of late,.....it doesn't seem to be going that way......got a ton of parts just sitting at a tuner/ build shop waiting on AP to finally deliver.

"The front has a intermediate pipe stock still?"

That was the response I got. My initial fitment issue was the tips being badly misaligned. They told me to bend the hangers on the muffler to make it fit. I had enjoyed the product before this newest issue, but I am not sure if it's $1000 worth of enjoyment.

Well I've had a fairly good experience so far. I just don't want this to turn into a bash/ventfest.

I'm getting very concerned thats all..... Good to hear you have had a good experiance with them.....hopefully mine will be too,.....right now this is a very rocky start....with no explanations of why?

I will take this off your hands for $100! Dont think it will go for much scrap. My friends sometimes go around and fill their trucks with 800+lbs of scrap metal and only get around 500 for it.

It's still on the car, so it may be a week or so until the replacement Invidia exhaust arrives.

wait so you might sell it :eyebulge:?

I wasn't going to, due to the described fitment issues and other things with it. If someone is willing to buy it, even knowing what I described wrong with it, I'm not adverse to the Accelerated Performance exhaust.

can you take a pic of the hanger? if a hammer can fix it then ill buy it for sure!

I used the end of a floor jack handle and pulled on it.

im 95% sure of buying this haha, just want to see whats so bad about it atm.

buy it and install it before the 20th if your coming!

i will if he is willing to sell at that price :)

thats a hell of a deal i might even make the 10 min drive to mahwah to see and hear this on your car.

Well someone PM'ed me prior to you replying in this thread. I asked him if he's ok with the issues I've listed. The 2 of you can hash out who really needs it more if you want to. He PM'ed me on the 6th about it.

No issues with my AP exhaust. Love it!

How's the clearance under the rear axle? That's the issue I'm having. Way too low. About 4-5" lower than stock.

well i pm'ed him, waiting for a reply. I offered a duel to the death :23:

Apparently he cracked his stock muffler. He contacted me first so he has first dibs. If he sees it and doesn't want it, you're next in line, deal?

sounds good to me (in the inside im crying) lol :D!
