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.

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'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

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.

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.

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.
