    a little out....its nearly 45degrees out....must have been on the turps the night before :drink:
    :thumbsup:
    i cant understand why ppl cant do sh*t right the first time...do it properly or dont do it at all :bang: :ranting:

    thats why when i find someone good i stick with them even if they are a little more expensive than others and takes a little longer....save arguments and time go back and forward sorting it out...job done right is more important :thumbsup:

    It doesn't look like its been welded incorrectly, it looks like its missing or dropped a bracket on the left side of the pipe.

    If it left the place like that, the guy doesn't belong in the industry. It simply could have popped out on the way home.

    Still a poor job nevertheless.

    That's chronically out of wack.I had a similar one fitted (welded,no brackets)and took it for a test drive,it resulted in me picking up a progressively louder whistling sound as the revs rose.It was due to a bogus weld that was promptly sorted (before I handed over cash).The bloke sould'nt be in the game if that was his finished product.
