I am not bent out of shape. Good luck with yours. I had the same problems with them in 8/1/12 . It took them two months before they sent me new tips.

I have my fingers crossed he contacts me too to fix the "train wreck" he sent me. Highly unlikely but a man can dream...

Extremely poor exhaust quality and slow service. At least I got my money back. All I lost on the transaction was $50 return shipping and 7 weeks of frustration.

Bought a set @ 4yrs ago, had no issues on the install and sounds perfect. No drone at all.

Seems I am one of the few who came out ok.
Sorry for you guys who are still having issues.
Are they the highest quality on offer, no! Then again I paid for what I received.
The sound however is for me is, terrific!

I'm calling on Monday to see the status of my repair work order and if they even got it. I replied to Jeff's email but never got a confirmation. If worse comes to worst with me, I can have a local exhaust shop fab up a new tip piece. Shouldn't be too hard. I'm hoping that I can just get a replacement though.

seller."

A better question is why didn't GHL do the right thing and issue me return call tags when I said I wanted a refund on their defective product? Or why didn't GHL credit me back thru PayPal for the $50 cost of return shipping?

The biggest mystery of all is why would GHL even ship product that looked so bad. Doesn't anybody inspect the product before its boxed up for shipping???

Jeff had the correct items out to me ASAP!

Thank you Jeff for your help.

I am one VERY happy customer!!
I have had mine on for about 6 years now. I installed these the same time I installed my LT headers. That and the headers are by far one of my best mods. I got two compliments this evening on how great the exhaust sounds. One of them was from a gentlemen with his 1965 corvette.

Has anyone heard anything at all from GHL within the last month? I'm filing a complaint with the BBB (basically to make myself feel better) because I'm getting pretty ****ing tired of having the phone go straight to voicemail and no answer after repeated email attempts. I'll bump this in the morning since I posted this late.

Would one of you mind forwarding the email? I didn't get it. rk_jenks@yahoo.com

AS you can see, there is love and hate about the same system. People will try to push you in their direction. While others will try to keep you as far from them as possible. My point was ( is ) with respect to exhaust systems, don't believe anyone. Especially here.

I don't think any of us are hating on the sound or the build quality of GHL systems from a few years ago. But the quality of product that many of us received in the last few months is not even sub-par.

The tips I received (2 sets) looked like crap and should have gone in the manufacturer's reject bin, not shipped to a buyer. I doubt that many of you reading this would have allowed them on your car.

POTENTIAL GHL BUYERS...YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I went ahead and filed a formal complaint through the BBB against them. I think I'll probably start a GHL complaint thread later today in the Transactions Feedback.

Im trying to help the OP with a choice. No matter what, be it sound quality or price, GLH is not something I would recommend. what good is a pleasing system if the quality is crap and the customer support is lacking. Who in their right mind would recommend a good system with poor quality or support?

Bottom line is the OP needs to make up his own mind. Not GLH is a great company.
POTENIAL GLH BUYERS YOU HAVE BEEB WARNED? Is this NOT TWO 180 degree opinions?
Confusing to the OP? You Bet.
