Review on πŸ”§ 3-piece Tail Pipe Expander Set, Muffler Spreader Tool Kit 1-1/8'' to 3-1/2'', includes Storage Case - Enhance Exhaust Muffler Spreader Kit by William Mathis

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Cheap quality, definitely a return to the store. Also, there are no C-clamps on the shafts as shown in picture

If I didn't need it today and tomorrow for the exhaust work on the '89 Iroc Z, I would return it. You would think that after 50 years of working with cars and assembling engines I would be sane enough not to buy a three piece pipe expander kit for less than $40 and expect great quality. Photos tell a story. The case was cracked and dirty when received - definitely second hand. And the nut and thread grade is probably grade 5. The first thing you need to do is go to the hardware store and buy grade 8 bolts, as the ones that come with the kit will break right away. And the C-clamps on the ends of the shafts that you see in the photos weren't with me - maybe they were taken by whoever returned them. So if you loosen them with a wrench, the nuts will fall off and everything will fall apart. Buy something else. This is a big disappointment.

Pros
  • . Deal for installing aftermarket components on stock exhaust pipes.
Cons
  • So far so good
