Attention Aussie Downpipe Owners !

[Jimlad]

I got a package through from fensport today with a letter explaining the the downpipe can crack on MR2's. They supplied a bracket in the package with instructions stating where it goes and that I should fit it asap.

If you have purchased the downpipe, but havn't received the bracket... please contact fensport !! I'll have my one on Friday.

I also got some Fensport stickers, Aussie keyring and a TRD thing that you would put round your neck with a pass connected to the other end if that makes sense.

Did they say where it cracks or how?

Wonder why this problem doesnt affect the 3S-GTE in the GT-Four? Pretty alarming

I think the elbo to the exhaust is tighter on the MR2 .. not as much room I'd gather ..

(and would hot gasses going round a tighter bend cause more heat?)

It simply says....

Dear Customer..

Thank you for your recent purchase of an "Aussie Down Pipe". We have recently encountered a problem with the downpipe cracking on MR2 models only. We have therefore liased with the manufacturer and they have now included a bracket with all downpipes sold.

We would advise the enclosed bracket is fitted as soon as possible.

Fitting Instructions :

The bracket fits to 2 of the 3 bolts that hold the downpipe to front pipe sectuin, it then can be bolted to the engine block, via original bolt hole.

This note only applies to MR2 Turbo, Celica GT4's do not suffer any cracking problems, as he exhaust system fitted is an entirely different design.

We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Best Regards,

Adrian

FFS!. Ive not even had any mail about this. And Id much rather have a sizable discount off my next purchase for my inconvenience and costs for the labour to get this thing fitted. A £260 item shouldnt have these problems...FS...

But thanks a lot Jimlad for posting this important info up here.

[Jimlad]

can someone make this a temp sticky post ??

Think it is very important !
