Default No A/C ???

Well if it isn't hot enough...I had my B&B Fussions and Vararam installed today. No complaints about the sound, they're awsome and you gotta love the By-Mod. After 15-20 minutes of sound enjoyment I put the windows back up and cranked the A/C to cool off, NOTHIN BUT HOT AIR and once I got home there was a smell out of the air vents....kinda like burning but not really.

I called the shop when I got home but everyone's gone for the day. Anyboby have any thoughts I can take to him tomorrow?

One question......did they cut the shroud to install the vararam? 10 to 1, they cut into the A/C condensor that is right behind the shroud......your AC no longer has any pressure in it and you'll need a new condensor........

Yep, sounds like they cut it. They sure as hell should have known when they did it.
