I am the one that filed the claim and spent countless hours dealing with them over this. Not only that but they cut a check for just 100.00+ shipping costs. The tailpipes cost 350 new from bassani and this is for the non stainless tailpipes. I can't get anywhere near replacing them for 100.00.
BEWARE!!!!!!!!! if you ever ship or buy a used item shipped ups. It doesn't matter how much you insure the parts for if you do not have a reciept where you bought the items new they only have to give you 100.00 dollars. Even if you can prove the value of the items they will not give you more than 100 without a reciept where you paid more than that for the items NEW. They also will not issue a check to the person that recieves the damaged items. This is exactly what ups told me over the phone when I told them I could not get more tailpipes that would fit the bassani catback for anywhere near that price.

The reason the check was only for $100 is any time you ship a package by ups you automaticly get $100 insurance for free. You have to pay for the extra insurance. I have never had a problem with either ups or fedex.
