back 4 or 5 years ago when i rebuilt my 2 previous 350,s i had new gibson allspeed large can pipes made for them, i,ve been busy having kiddies and a brief spell with a tdr250 which didnt float my boat and i,m now back with another lc. do,s anyone know if the guy still makes them and if he,s around this site. the name TONY rings a bell. don,t want a set yet but will do next year sometime.
thanks lads.

i got some last year and up till now have said nothing and i will probably get slated for this by the forum.
i waited the 6 to 8 weeks for my pipes that i had ordered without a finish , ie chrome or black as i was going to do them myself.
nothing after 7 weeks i called to be told they were at the chroming company .
after explaining i didnt order chrome i was told that they had some previously made and they would send them out .
on arrival they were both dented although not large or visible so i bit the bullet.
i fitted them and they leaked real bad and it seemed that the weld on the gasket face was so bad that when i locked them down i distorted the flange.
so after removing and straighteneing the flanges i refited new gaskets and the foil/fibre washer and sealed all the joints in the flange collar with sealent, oil was still coming out however not from the exaust but a weld on the pipe its self.
now i could have contacted them but i previously tried to contact them asking for some allspeed decals but got no reply but norbo came up trumps agan and sent me some.
i would check out TSA on this forum first as he makes awesome pipes apparently.
altough i love the look of the pipes they do i will not be going back to them.

Feedback is always useful Davey, thanks for the head up re the poor communication/service...id also send this info to the manufacturer, hopefully they will improve on what they offer, its a small community and reputations are hard to gain, easy to lose.

Id have sent them back at the A) when noticed they where dented b) when i noticed the issue with the weld...do they know you had these issues?

[davey]

They dont know no as i never followed it up.
I waited a while for these pipes i paid a lot off shipping as i live in southern france but to br fair had i known about the poor and especially leaking weld i would have.
However i put it down to expierance and just wil go tsa when i meed some more

Pipes aside, where abouts in the South mate?

We usually head off the autoroute at Lyon and take the N85 Route Napoleon down all the way to Grasse, I think thats the road your reffering to.

Any of the N roads in the area are amazing.

Your a lucky man with I imagine pretty exclusive client list.

Ill look you up when im down there next..an LC in Monaco should be easy to spot..
