Re: [Chrysler300] Kepich exhaust for 300E

["Roger Schaaf" <obiwan10@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I too have heard of numerous problems with exhaust components from this outfit.  Certainly goes against the grain of what they tout in their advertisements that they continually post in Hemmings.

The best way to deal with these types of firms and their non-responsiveness to customer concerns and complaints is this.  Only pay then with a credit card.  If they refuse to take payment with a credit card, do your business elsewhere.  If they fail to live up to their claims or warranties, do not hesitate to call your credit card firm to contest the charges.  You normally have 60 days after a purchase to contest charges with your credit card firm.

Always has amazed me how we are all suckers in the sense that if a vendor or service provider screws you, we will take it as sheep, but if one were to attempt to screw them by fraud, non payment, bad check, etc., they can/will take legal action(civil or criminal) at the drop of a hat and of course the law is usually on their side.  How many of you have spent hours fighting some firm such as your bank, cable company, telephone company, auto repair shop, home contractor, because they failed to live up to their promised obligation to you?

As the Peter Finch quote in the movie Network goes, "We are as mad as hell and we are not going to take this anymore".

  I have had a very bad experience with Kepich.I ordered an exhaust system
  from him for my 300D convert. None of the pipes came close to fitting.
  They were so far off they could not be made to fit by my experienced
  exhaust man. Kepich refused to stand by his product & was very nasty
  when I spoke to him several times. He insisted his pipes were right even
  after I sent him pictures showing a side by side comparison between the
  pipes that came off the car & his pipes. I strongly recommend that you
  do not deal with this company.

  Hi Jim, and all

  Jim, you are now hitched up to the listserver. Welcome aboard. As far
  as Kepich, I think the feedback you will receive from most folks is that
  they are pretty bad... both in terms of their product, and also their
  attitude.

  Any comments from membership? what would be a good source for 300E
  exhaust system ?

  Hello John,
  Thanks for the information.. I did end up figuring out the system I
  ordered was not the correct system. It was about 3' to long I used
  Kepich
  Exhaust they were in the clubs listing for resources. I'll keep you
  posted
  on how this turns out. I am not real happy with them so far since I
  called
  them on Saturday when I was having problems and he said they were closed
  and
  to call back on Monday?
  Thanks!
  Jim

  Hi Jim,

  We should have you up and runnign on the listserver tomorrow (Monday) .
  In
  the interim, I posted your question to the group, and rec'd this
  response
  from Steve Albu:


  Jim, you might want to let the club members know from whom you obtained
  the
  exhaust system. With some rare exceptions, when you order these systems
  through the mail, they will not fit most of the time. The bends are
  critical, and it takes someone with good equipment and skill to make
  them
  mail order. 
  Steve Albu

  Hello John,
  I was wondering if you had or knew anybody that may have a photo of
  the
  under carriage of a 59E. I purchased an exhaust system for my E and am
  at
  wits end trying to install it. Mine did not have a system when I
  purchased
  it and the new system had no information when I received it. Spent the
  last
  2 day re configureing the pieces to the new system and am still
  unsuccessfull getting this mess together. Any information would be
  appreciated.
  Thanks,
  Jim DelRae
