[QUOTE="raptor_qatar, post: 908399, member: 9333"] hey guys I purchased a set of complete kooks headers with true duel exhaust from TeamJDM, and at less than 7-8k kilometers the welds that hold the link to the exhaust broke.:supergay: first, the passenger side broke with very light off roading nothing insane in fact i have a video of the run which the exhaust broke (does not show it breaking). when it broke it took a bit of the exhaust of with it. i got it welded in less than an hour thanks to nearby garage. Here is the link to the video [url]https://youtu.be/219T1uco4bE[/url] about a week later another weld broke on the other side whilst i was not off roading and it took quite a big chunk of exhaust with it, now i know i can just go and get it welded for 20 bucks but thats not the issue here. the exhaust is going to leak and break open again i payed for the best and the more highly priced exhausts on the market so that i wouldn't have to do this. i am honestly disappointed with kooks, this is not the level of quality that i'd expect from such a reputable company like kooks. Now the issue is that kooks warranty requires me to mail them the exhaust, only a few issues. used car parts wont go through immigration so when they mail it back i wont be able to accept it. another issue is i live in qatar, about 7000 km away :flipthebird: and the shipping alone is going to be way more expensive then the repair it wouldn't make sense for me to do that, actually i would just ship the entire system and have them keep it and id switch to stainless works :baby: I have just sent them an email regarding this issue and i am waiting for a reply, i'll keep updating the thread on what happened. p.s i bought the system from TeamJDM and received it in pristine condition they play no part to blame in this.[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR][url]http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/alialbanai/20150917_223557.jpg[/url] [url]http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/alialbanai/20150917_223537.jpg[/url] [url]http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/alialbanai/20150917_223531.jpg[/url] [/QUOTE]
