What have you done to your P5 today?

alright got a proposition and need some help.

i am going to the sebring palooza and i have my RB cat back exhaust but it arrived with a dent in the muffler.... should i just keep it or file a claim w/ ups and have them send me a new one? if i file a claim it will be a few weeks before i am reimbursed and then another week to get the new cat back, which means I will not have it at Sebring when I go. I am contemplating whether or not I should bite the bullet and just keep it, or whether I should wait and not have it at Sebring and have a new one sent. :( any ideas/suggestions?

It is the part of the muffler that faces up, not at the ground.

prolly not gonna help you much at sebring for the axle back. just file a claim and deal with it.

well i saw the pictures. if you have a problem with the dent. send it back. if it doesn't show under the car, and it's not producing a leak, don't worry about it.
 
it will be 4-6 weeks before i get the new one b/c ups would have to file the claim and wait til RB got the claim check etc etc etc. so i am stuck in a pickle.
 
yea there isnt a hole or anything that i can see and it faces up under the car itself. only thing is, is when i go to sell it when i am ready to get rid of the car, prospective buyers will probably be detered....

well that's a choice you'll have to make.

i wouldn't worry about it. but if you want pristine, send it back.
 
I'd say file a claim, get a new one. Your car looks great as it is, I'm sure the catback isn't the "be all end-all" of it at Sebring. :)

I say for the money you spent...file the claim and wait for the pristine one to arrive.
