Went to Mach V. Great service!

Wanna give credit where credit is due.

About a week and a half ago I came down with back pain and spasms like nothing I've ever had. My DIY project died and so I contacted Mach V and they did my exhaust and TSW X brace install for me Wed. I thought the price was very fair, and they even had to deal with a missing rubber exhaust hanger surprise too. The Magnaflow has very little clearance in the Aerokit rear valance exhaust opening and they centered it perfectly. No rattles, just a great job and very nice crew.

I'm liking the Magnaflow. It has a nice deep tone. Sounds good.

I haven't any idea on what the TSW Xbrace is doing yet. I'm in too much pain to do any spirited driving to test it out. I can say the car feels more 'solid' and the rear view mirror only vibrates a fraction of what it did before.

Now I just have to get healed before the Dragon!

Thanks again to the whole crew at Mach V!

Yep, Mach V is awesome! Had my first oil change done there; and picked up my new wheels from them not too long ago. Great pricing for sure.

Dan and the guys are always friendly and love talking about cars. Actually saw one of the guys on campus the other day but didn't remember his name so i didn't say hello. (felt kinda bad)

Thanks for the kind words!

That was probably Will. Don't worry about it. We see hundreds of customers and sometimes it can be hard for us to remember your names too.

The spasms were new as of last night and I was about to call a doc about a muscle relaxer, but saw my massage therapist today and got tremendous relief. I'll see how tonight and the morning go, but vast improvement already. I have more massages lined up. I only worked 2-3 hours Wed and Thur and took today off.

Thanks!

EDIT: Got some steroids yesterday. Whee! Mucho better

Another attaboy for Mach V. On the way back from the Dragon I noticed some exhaust rattle and a exhaust leak in the middle of the car. Called Mach V today and they had me come out this afternoon. Turns out the bolts that came with my Magnaflow were 'cwap'. (My description). One was gone and the other sheared when they checked to see if it was tight.

They put some decent quality bolts in and I'm quiet and rattle free again.

Thanks guys!

Mark, that's great news and especially given the amount of time you've put into getting an exhaust that you were happy with. I will definitely consider them next time I need a mod.
