budget exhuast

hi
i want to buy a budget y pipe for my 96 max, but am having trouble with the company. After a week i finally got a reply to my first email. This company is awful at responding. Does anyone know how i order or have a y pipe they want to sell me? or how to get in contact with these people

yeah, they suck at emailing... it took them almost a month to get back to me after two emails... i think you need to call them to get better service. i have heard better about when people call them...

hope it helps...

Anyone else?

I had absolutely no problem in dealing with them. I phoned and got a live warm body. I placed my order over the phone and confirmed it by e-mail, but not with my credit card number (gave that over the phone). They confirmed by e-mail immediately. There was a bit of a delay in their shipment as they were awaiting a delivery of stainless steel. UPS delivered the Y-pipe right to my door in about 5 days after it left Ontario. I was given a tracking number.

Call Jody in Burlington, Ontario. She is only available to take orders until about 2:00 to 2:30 ET.

Yep they ignore email. Still waiting to hear back from my email from a month ago. They should not even have email as an option for inquiries. Just to confirm mailing address.

You need to go ahead and jump on ordering one, because the price of steel is going up. You will probably soon not be able to find one of these for under $200. I would suggest a hurried state of mind, if I were you, Kosmo.

The prices of US steel is going up but imported steel is not. Imported steel is cheaper to buy and not as good of quality of US Steel. Budget probably uses imported steel because of how low their prices are

I wonder how much japanese steel is in my maxima? should I be worried?

Budget's service is great. I emailed them about a catalytic converter and they didn't get back to me right away (a week). Jody emailed me back apologizing and sent one for $150 and didn't charge me shipping. Yesterday I got an email confirming I got the cc and if everything was ok.

regardless, it is stainless steel.
I don't know where they get it from.
They are in Canada.

I have Warpspeed and I like it a lot.
Good quality.

Budget uses Cdn steel just like the US uses US Steel.

T304 is T304 regardless where it comes from. The composition is controlled.

Wrapspeeds aluminized steel is just marginally cheaper than Budget's T-304 Stainless Steel so you tell me which you would sooner have?

Call Budget if you want service. The 800# is on my sig as well as their website if you click on it.

I had great service with Budget. I called them, they shipped out my ypipe immediately with an email confirmation # and I recieved from UPS in 5 days.

Are Budget's Bpipes 2.5"?

Budget is a small shop and they are not into the internet and e-mail much. Jeff is into doing a very good job at a great price....CALL ,hey it's a toll free number, also can call 905-681-4579. They are in Burlington Ontario, across the bay from Hamilton....Canada's steeltown. Lots of speciality steel companies in the area including companies that supply lots of product to NASA.Better yet drive over for a day...15 bucks to install a y pipe.....what a deal. B pipe comes with or with out a resonator and i think it is 2 and a half....I'll know tommorow, they are putting one on for me......cheers....phil

Budget b-pipe is 2 1/2" mandrel bent, got mine installed today with a resonator for 260$ cdn...for 200 more Jeff did a real nice cold air as well. Along with the y -pipe this has made a really big difference. Now not just bigger bottom end but just winds out much faster, almost sounds like a small block chevy .I think no resonator would be to noisy, perfect now to sneek up on unsuspecting yuppies in 3 series beemers.all for less than 750 cdn....I'm happy....cheeers

That's great, but I got the same gains for spending $50.

July 1 is a national holiday in Canada, just like the 4th of Jul in the USA.

Dealt with Jeff @ Budget, placed the order on Monday and it was at my house by Thursday. I am very happy with their quality and their attitude, so I would definitely recommend them.
