I've had good experience with Jet Hot before but thought I would share this one. Month ago I brought down the new 180s, valve cvrs, intake manifold, water pipes, fuel tank shield, bell housing, oil pan, and two new PI Powerpack mufflers. Picked them up about ten days ago, unwrapped them at my engine builders shop, scuffs on the headers, intake was horrible, valve covers substandard, and my mufflers lost somewhere to another customer that got them by mistake.

Brought the parts needing redoing back last week.

Today I called and asked if the mufflers had been returned yet and was told they came back but have been "sent out for repair" as there was some damage.

Now I have to try to sleep thinking that these have already been mocked up to the car, and what could possible have been damaged that they have to send them out to a special repair shop. There was an exceptionally small dent in one that will be on the bottom when the muffler is in the car and was made by us to fit. The dent is made on purpose.

I now envision the dent being repaired, then recoated and having to put a dent in again which will crack the coating. I told them not to worry about the dent the first day.

Other than that, what possible repair could be made to a set of mufflers that have no seams?

This is turning into a nightmare....my car is begging to get back with its new engine and lots of horsepower. I am furious.

You are not alone with these kind of issues. I have two other friends who had problems with Jet-Hot, although I am sure they are not the only shop to make these kind of mistakes. I had very good luck with HPC in Chandler, Az.. They had everything done in two days and looked great. I offered to pay extra and in cash if they had them done fast and did a good job. I guess they liked that idea.
One word: WOW!
I can see yours attach to the muffler/collector just above the bellhousing, but do the atach to each other. If not how did you get them in there? My project has gone from the 180s to a complete engine rebuild, including dual nitrous lines. Should be around 550 hp and additional 150-200 with the NOS. First victim: Steve Ram
