Techtonics Tuning downpipe - quality issue?

[texasboy21]

I received my Techtonics Tuning downpipe in the mail today and I have a question about the workmanship. Notice the flange to piping fitment, and the cat to downpipe bolt hold (bottom left), its not perfectly center.

Do you think this is a workmanship issue (fitment issues) or am I being hypercritical?

That looks pretty lousy.

Yikes. Who else sells a downpipe seperately other than Fast intentions?

Yeah, all these aftermarket companies have one thing in common... they all suck! Whether it's 034's crappy quality control just like this TT DP issue or companies not including the right hardware like Magnaflow/RallyArmor.. they all suck.

Looks like crap, bet it still works 100% though......and it will be under your car where you can't see it

Yeah, back when i was looking for a downpipe, i came to that conclusion and decided to go custom fab route. It was worth the extra couple hundred bucks.

Doesn't surprise me. I had a TT testpipe back on my 01 jetta and it was awful fitment.

You should ask TTTuning...

[texasboy21]

I will be contacting them during business hours. I really thought they were a quality company.

[b6Hate4]

Is TT made in usa or overseas?

[daihashi]

wow... That's really crappy. If that's what is typically offered by big name vendors then I could make a killing shipping better production stuff out of my garage.

My 034 test pipe was really nice.

2.5"?? I'll take take it off your hands if you go another route.

But Rally Armor doesn't make flaps for Audi's, how can they include the right hardware if they don't make a product for our cars? All you need are longer screws of the exact same size and pitch. I mounted mine up in an hour.
