Honestly, that's a horrible job, and they must've had some problem with the welder, and decided rather than telling you, they just continued to get it as well as they could. I've hardly done any welding before, and I know how to weld much better than that. That's just pathetic, and don't leave until you have it re-welded.

Duct Tape might hold up a little bit better than that weld is going to.

I was a welder about 20 years ago, and I cringe whenever I see something like your pictures. A weld like that is not only ugly, but will not be strong either. It's probably the result of an untrained guy using one of those cheap, 120-volt MIG welders. I would probably bring it back if I was you.

I need an update. I am watching this thread with anticipation. I have to know what they say when you take it back...

Same here. I think I'd just want my $ back and take it elsewhere.

Put me in line as another guy who wants to hear what these people have to say that could possibly excuse that weld.

Looks like helen keller welded up your exhaust. I'd be seriously pissed. Take that thing back to where you got that done. Thats funny as hell to see though.
