Yes he got back with the three options, all three were discussed in this thread and sending a new header was the best BUT when it takes a month or more to complete this is not right(remember that peskey emmissons testing thing) and also remember he is still selling headers so why can't he box one up and send it? Second, it's not a postage paid package its a SHIPPING LABLE and a refund and yes there are companys that do this EVERYWHERE it's called customer service and standing behind your product, instead of me pounding sand you should dig your head out of it(or whatever you have it stuck in).What this is all about,in case you havent picked it up yet, is Jan has gone to great lengths to spout about how he TESTS all his products before he sells them. Now here we are on the second verson of his header and it's still throwing codes so even you can see that I'm not all that warm and fuzzy that the third will be good. It's called due dillagence it looks as if he has not used it on his origanal header nor has he used it with the fix for the codes. And lastly why are you interested?? You seem very happy with all your RMW parts, so run along.

 

That is good Jan, I can expect a NEW header after all thats what I paid for.

 

If he had done the proper testing on his header, which it is obvious that he didn't, he would not be in this mess. You should not sell a product and depend on your customers to be beta testers it's not right.

 

Every header out there that has sold as many headers as we have, has had some headers that have thrown codes. So Miltek, Janspeed and every other major brand never did testing? Come on ezput....... Most of the ones throwing codes were out of the last 2 batches of cats from Magnaflow. I called Magnaflow and spoke to their engineers after the batch that started throwing codes, they said they were fine and nothing was changed. So they said it must have been bad cats. (yes, due diligence was done immediately when the problem arose) There was about a 50% failure rate of last 2 batches. Magnaflow is not standing behind the product be we are fixing them on our own dime. I'm sorry you don't want to take the options I gave you, it's better than me telling you to take it up with Magnaflow

For the record we are NO LONGER USING MAGNAFLOW CATS

 

If Jans cat's did this then you would have something to moan about.







Just because the light is on does not mean it will fail an emissions test btw - mine passed with the light on.

 

Back from the first day at the Dragon w/bung mod, still no codes!

 

Sweet. Hope you are having a goodtime.

My SES light has NOTHING to do with the bung. The culprit is the bad cats that were put on the header.

I am glad to hear that there have been cats found that will not throw codes, I am waiting for my replacement anxiously

 

Nice, just read this. So I should be expecting my replacement soon? I am ready to have that SES gone and done with. Thanks Jan.

 

mdbsat...hope you get that SES light sorted..goodluck to ya....

 

goodluck to all of you actually..hope RMW gets this sorted cos I think this has gone on for months (even years??).

Hope it wont take that much longer...goodluck to all of ya...especially to ez1..

 

Have you not read this thread? It IS getting sorted. I am having a replacement sent to me. I dont know what your beef is with this company but it is getting kind of sad. You dont wish me luck, you wish to continue to try and trash this brand. Now, if you actually had the header and you were having the problems I am having I would tell you to say whatver you want. I AM the one with the issues, I AM the one with complaints. Cmon man, you are very transparent. Find another cause, go work on your car or just do something but this is just plain lame.

 

No Beef....just plain good fashion good luck mdbsat...
Cos, its not the first time that the "it'll be sorted" speech has come up..and guess what? Not sorted...
hence the goodluck bro...meant nothing by it.....sorry if i pushed your wrong buttons..

 

and im interested in RMW threads cos its supposed to be the best American Mini brand...so, thats the only reasons for all my probing questions...

Just want to be in "in the know"

 

it's blatantly obvious.... good grief
look how many times people are posting crap in here who don't even have the product.... enough already
they are getting fixed and we are doing it methodically to make sure they don't come back

if that isn't good enough for you Nazrin (who doesn't even own the product)
too *#&^ing bad

 

see my previous post....

Im interested in the best there is....and recently RMW turns out to be that...So, of cos potential customers would ask probing questions...Im not one of those people who will just dive in and pay big bucks for "the best" there is....I use the old fashion research before I part ways with my money....

(p.s and thanks to my research im code free!!! and no need to use profanity Jan...surely you can shop more class then that...thats not professional at all)

 

no you are not... it's obvious by your posts
run along junior

 

Run beside Grandpa

 

This header has barely been out for a year now, so don't go laying seeds to flourish incorrect information.

As Jan has stated, it was a batch of bad cats that simply need to be replaced. There was no way for Jan to know these were bad when they were shipped to him. Unfortunately Magnaflow did not step up and take care of this issue, yet RMW has.

Each one of these headers is hand built, and each one that has experienced a problem has to be repaired by hand as well. I'm sure everyone can understand that this simply takes time, not to mention having the new cats on hand as well so that the repair can be made.

 

much appreciated K5...and to Jan...Yes sir, Big Buddy...

I'll tone it down...i'll just read the posts in the background...No hard feelings to everyone..

 

+1.... Well said.

 

Ive had the bung on for for a couple months.
No lights for a couple hundred miles.
My car passed smog on Friday.
Still lovin' the header.
...thanks Jan.

 

-delete-

 

delete what?
