There isn't a company out there that will replace a product AND pay for R&R of the defective product if done by an outside shop. Stuff happens and you stood behind your warranty and your product. Is it safe to say that if you had originally installed the mufflers, you would not charge to R&R the defective mufflers?

What is the difference if you install your defective product or a Porsche dealer installs it; that is illogical. The problem was not based on improper installation. Your company sat on my dealer's request to adjust the problem my car was received by the dealer on July 23, 2007 15 days before you shipped the mufflers.
I have yet to see a written warranty. You convinced me your are confused and the mufflers mirror that state.

As I stated before, we did not have a system on the shelf that I could send that day. A brand new system had to be made.
An email has been dispatched with a copy of our warranty document.

I am not trying to defend AWE and een though they are very close to me I have never done business with them directly. I have though been moding cars for over 30 years and what Mike says about the standard in the industry is correct. I have had many problems with products I have bought over the years, and have found not many vendors are even willing to admit there could be something wrong, let alone offer to replace it.

Mike and AWE have been first rate with me and the problems I recently encountered.
Thanks Mike, the new "improved" cans arrived late last week and will be installed early this week.
You could not have provided me with a better level of after-sales service........ than had I not needed after-sales service in the first place!!!!

I have dealt with Mike on other issues and he has been extremely helpful. I have nothing bad to say about awe He is willing to bend over backwards to help.

last year i removed my awe cats in an effort to return my car back to stock condition. when i removed them i noticed that the internals were moving from side to side as if they were loose. i didn't think anything was wrong because performance was fine, however they were a bit noisy under full throttle, but I thought that was normal since they were my first performance cats i ever purchased and i didn't know better. I ended up selling them to a 6speed member, whom, after installation, called me to complain that the cats did not sound right. I then called mike at AWE, told him the situation and without hesitation he said he would replace the cats under warranty. Since i had already sold them he offered to honor that warranty to my buyer. NOW THATS WHAT I CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE, YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!

Am I barking up the wrong tree?

I can definitely understand the labor charge... but their own in house mufflers... come on... not right.
