Failed inspection

Well wen't to get the car inspected and got a couple of dings. Now I just have to figure out where to get some exhaust work done at.



The big thing they got me on was the external wastegate. I was hoping they would miss it but they caught it after there walk through from under the car. The problem now is to find someone to fab up something to recirculate the exhaust form the wastegate back to the exhaust.


I can order the flanges and even some mandrel bent pipeing.


Does anybody know of a place to get this done? Or if there is anything else I can do?


I'm in the Ramstien area.

The Auto hobby shop on kappun was the best out of all of them for welding. Ramstien Autohobby shop is a joke. Check Kappun, I used to have a contact over there named Winfield Brown. He is a audio installer and taught me the biz. The important part is he knows who is good on the economy and who will rob you blind on costs. Hell if they still have a good welder over there they can do the job themselves at the best rate in town. You really dont want the Germans going your **** because they adhear to a different slandered and therfore may do something that may not be in the best intrast of your car. Tell him JD told you to ask him what a real dB car is.

Winny is still there I believe and he will help you with what you need. As far as having the Germans do anything with your exhaust....good luck. If it's not replacing a stock system with and new stock system they won't do anything. They don't weld old systems, they don't patch rusty pipes, they don't do ANYTHING with old exhaust systems AT ALL......Seriously.....I asked a local mechanic if there was a place to get some custom exhaust bent and he looked at me like I was crazy. They don't have "muffler shops" here like they do in the states. Hell, they don't even know what a mandrel bender is......

you can get here in germany pipes silencers and other things to build your own exhaust system.
but its not so easy to get it and most are sold as racing products with very high prices for a litle bit metal

most car mechanics here are only part changers i think.

thats the good thing in usa you can become for the rx7 everything...here in germany you can only get stock parts or ****.

but here is a rx7 a exotic car.
