Dan, I  nor anyone else has heard a peep from you on this subject for days.
See  copied messages below.  What we want to know is:

    When are you going to repair  Max's muffler ?
    How your going to repair Max's  muffler ?
    How your going to rebuild  confidence in the Vanagon community so I can
sell your mufflers ?
    How your going to compensate me  for lost business and time ?

    Unless I have satisfactory  answerers to these question this week I will
be seeking legal aid in having this  problem resolved.

Hold It Max---Don't Go jumping the Gun  yet---

Here is a message I got from the head Guru at Spam Canland this  morning.

It sounds like he's going to be fixing your  muffler---when?

Who the hell know's.

But after I made him an offer  he couldn't refuse he came up with this
resolve.

Didn't you see the  message I sent him, and Frank offering to do all of
his welding repairs on  this side of the for a fee?

Check this out--and get ahold of  Frankie--
Things may have gotten better for you and the Spam can--
Hold on  to your britches---: )

Terry,  just to be clear , we have always sent out the brackets required
and we will  gladly weld on the new ones at no charge once we have the
muffler in  hand.

<<Danny  Boy, I'm sure you'll hear from Terry on this one !  However,
here's what  we ALL want to know.  So answer this question for all of
us out here in  Vanagon land to read.

Why does a customer who put faith in your  company and spent
approximately $500 for your Lifetime Warranted muffler have  to spend
approximately <WBR>two hours&R the muffler then  either pay for
shipping to you and wait until it comes back or pay to  have someone
locally repair your improperly made muffler ?  All the  while this
project is under way the vehicle is undriveable, cost  the
customer more <WBR and you nothing ?  You  made the mufflers
with an improperly designed bracket system that is now  failing and your
doing what ?
