The extra you pay for the AR's, will be peace of mind and saving on a crap fitment by cheap imitations..
End of rant:  |
I've personally had to send a set of AR DP's back to AR when attempting to fit due to a fitment issue and I can find you at least a dozen cases where fitment wasn't as perfect as you'd expect. Does that mean AR's aren't a great set of pipes? No. It just means they aren't perfect.
With that said, AR is a company that will stand behind their product and I have no doubt that they'll take care of any such issue. Nothing is perfect when the human element is involved.
Personally, I'm more interest in how a company helps remedy the situation rather than assuming they'll stiff you if something goes weary. We stand by our 100% fitment & satisfaction guarantee. |
I bit the bullet and bought a set of Ar downpipes, which yes we're out of the budget at the time, but because I knew the fitment was supposed to be spot on I got them.
I installed the set myself, to find that the oxygen sensor location was out of place by a few mm.
It goes to show that even the AR still have human errors, but in saying that
Stu from BMR quickly rectified the problem and organised a new set ASAP, arriving at my doorstep literally the next day.
If they were purchased directly from the manufacturer (AR or VRSF) it may be a different story so I can't comment there.
But for us in Australia it would make sense for anyone buying this sort of stuff to buy it locally, (if the price difference isn't that significant) as you know for piece of mind at the back of your head, should you have any problems, they'll get rectified quicker than it would internationally.
