Hey guys,

Just wanted to give you all an informative heads up, just in-case you live out east and were thinking of doing business with this clown.

After much searching for a company that mandrel bends stainless 304 for exhaust systems, I finally found a place out in Montreal called Rawtek. At first, it was very easy to deal with the company and I was quite impressed. Notice I said, at first. Suffice to say, I don't think I want to do deal with anymore long term services for things, as being so far away, after waiting for several months and having spent 2K, a company can just decide to not honour anything it's said it was going to do and end screwing you completely. I did still get something for my money, albeit FOUR friggen months later but.....

Anyways, DO NOT deal with a company named RawTek out of Montreal or you will be headed for trouble. http://www.rawtekinc.com/Products.html
You'lll Be soooooorrrryyy.

No worries,

Yeah, It's really quite a shame that after patiently waiting about 5 months for a set of V12 headers for a BMW 850i, the guy ended up saying, your not getting headers, I don't give a shit. What was my part? After him breaking yet another time deadline having paid $2000 without having anything but pics to show for it, all I said, was sorry but right now your apology doesn't mean much to me right now as you've used it so many times, I beginning to think you don't know the true meaning. I mean, I had waaaay more reason to NOT trust this clown, and literally, take him to the cleaners. I finally got the first bit of product paid for in December, called him back a week after I received them and said, OK how bought the headers now, and the prick just basically told me to pound sand. I'd still like to fly down there to pay my regards to the little friggen weasel!!!

You want Pics of the exhaust?

Hell they're already up! You've got to go scrolling down that post a ways though, pics are on the first page.

These are what the NARLY ASS headers look like, well, another guys set looks like anyways. Now I've got Stebro giving me a quote too hopefully.

There's quite a nice pic on that page, BUT to see the headers, just click the "EXHAUST" tab in the left column.

Sorry to hear about the guy shoveling it you Sickle. I must be either old or old fashion because when people come to me for help or fix I will usually go over and beyond to get it done. It's my job and I would think my reputation is on the line. I would be happy to donate $$ for you to fly down and maybe straighten this jacka$$ out on the better way to do business.
