    I fronted the shop this morning and spoke to the owner as I felt bad for having refered Benz to them.

    The owner said it was acceptable....enough said! I have already relayed the story to numerous other local business owners this morning. I think it is only fair that others understand what this business believes is acceptable.

    How would you feel if this fantastic site was shut down due to pending legal action?
    No idea that was possible. Guess I forgot it was an aulro rule and not just a guideline.
    I look at alot of reveiw sites (they are pretty handy while traveling) and people on there are ruthless, maybe it rubbed off on me.

    Maybe I should have just simply stated "these guys" bent me up some pipe and it looked like this? Not "don't go to this shop" for example.

    Anyway it's my bad and I will cop the points.

    Will be up the cape in June. Looking forward to fording some rivers
    Hopefully those parks open up in time

    that sort of work seems about on par with most exhaust shops.... welding quality is another one they seem to lack

    Exactly... Out of sight out of mind under a vehicle...

    Best place for this sort of work is a fabrication shop... And use mandrel bends tig welded and ground (if desired) to make a smooth looking unit.

    They have plenty of nice smooth pipes on display in their shop though, no creases in those.

    haha maybe they are the ones they order in?

    oh well, it's just character I suppose. Bit like the dents, scratches, oil and water leaks.... all part of being a land rover or should that be ? or even ? hopefully it's not too often

    My local exhaust place does very good bends. They made up a number of snorkels for a local LR mechanic based on my snorkel.
