ugh greddy

i was driving today on my weekend home from college and i hear a noise from under the car so i pull over. i check under the car, and the o2 sensor is hanging down dragging on the road. its not that it fell out of the exhaust, the actually o2 exaust flange on my greddy ti catback broke off at the welds. greddy told me to take pictures or it, they better be replacing it

+1. I would never put GReddy anything on my car.

I lump GReddy into that same category with "Type S" and "APC."

Thats the 1st time ive really heard anything bad about Greddy. In all honesty Greddy is a good japanese name (well Trust is same thing). They are pretty popular in Japan too. Sorry this happened though bro. Good luck with everything!

dude, dont' start with that crap......it's not worth it and the thread will get lost and probably closed.

Greddy usually has pretty good products. I have had many and yes, i've had one of them fail........it doesn't mean the company as a whole is crap.

and keep in mind.......they are one of the largest aftermarket companies in the world......i'm sure they didn't get to where they are by selling junk products.

Ive had my Greddy Racing Ti for 2.5 years now and it looks new except the color is just a tad darker from the heat over the years. Its been regarded as one of the best exhausts made. In terms of Quality, Weight, and Performance.

i know im surprised with greddy. i didnt think this would happen with such a highly regarded company. it doesnt matter i guess as long as they replace it and the o2 sensor too, cause that definatly got damaged

No aftermarket part company in the world has a perfect record with their parts. Occassionally parts do break, and unfortunately you got one of those defective parts. That doesn't make all the parts the company makes a piece of crap.
