I just thought I'd share a little bit about my experiences with Beeyond Engineering and King Motorsports. Thought you motor heads (in which I respect) might get a kick out of seeing this...

I also felt the same way...dude if that is what they did to your exhaust you shouldnt be remotely afraid to let us know who you are, we all know eachother in some way, shape or form. If that was my exhaust id have a pic with my face in it giving a huge thumbs down :rolf

No reason, really. I said somewhat. I guess I wont be for long. For the past week I've left my laptop in my car showing as many car people as I know. Now I will carry a few pipes in my car when hanging out.

Considering that I never saw these welds until the exhaust was taken apart, yes I will bring it up 2 years later. These welds were in the back top portion of the exhaust. The only way to really see them is by taking the exhaust apart. To me, this is new news and its not like these welds were any better two years ago. Any shop that lets a product go out like this deserves it. Not saying anything (which is usually the type of person I am) would just make them feel like they got away with it. I hope Beeyond will think twice before they let shit like this leave their shop. I have no problem talking to Simon or Bee about this situation. I'm not stomping around like I am going to burn the shop down. It it what it is and I'm just laying out the facts.

As someone posted before.... I'd guess that it was a 'new employee' at the time, or summer help or something. The guy probably lied about being able to weld, boogered this weld job up, was afraid to say anything in fear of losing his job, and let it slip out the door without anyone checking his work.

That would be about the only 'logical' explaination to me..... but ironically, it would also be about the best lie one could come up to cover up this hack job, LOL.

Guteman
07-10-2009, 09:06 PM
Heres the weird thing. I took the car to Beeyond about a week before they did any work. Bee was the one who look at and quoted me on the exhaust. I specifically remember asking if Bee was doing the fab work and he said yes. I seriously doubt that Bee did the work. Even if somebody else did it its still a Beeyond product and I am not the first person whom received poor quality from this shop.

ROFL ive been off this site for a while but fn a not surprised. Bee's guys used to steal cars for parts... they stole a friend of mines back in 99 or 2000. whatever happened w/ that SP performance guy. they're on the same level imo

king is also ROFL. Whats his nuts wanted to sue me for expressing my opinion if their shop on the internet years ago for "slander" although "libel" was the term he was looking for. They boosted a car, it went boom... god forbid you say something about it. However, those welds are much improved over Bee's. Looks like they magnetized your pipe and threw shit at it.

Considering I found this two years later, I dont think I have any right to go demanding a refund. I'm just here to warn people of what can possibly come out of this shop. Will they lose business? Probably. Will it be my fault? No way. There's no way Beeyond did any welding on the bench. What they pretty much did was hold the exhaust up and let some other dude try and weld it. That's the definition of a hack job in my book.

My friend has his civic built/ worked on and still working on it by beeyond... My friend dropped around 10k into have a built motor B16A with a T3/T4 turbo had it at 2psi for the first hundred or so miles you get close to a certain rev point and the car would die...

Weeks later, turned up the psi to 14psi I believe, took it to GLD and ran 12.4's to 12.7's on street tires and wheel hop.

Today, cranked up the boost to somewhere around 20psi and ran between 14.2 to 14.7 in the quarter with wheel hop... I laughed my ass off when he told me that and I said you should of bought either a Fox or Fbody and you could possibly be running low 11's right now with all the money you put into the civic.

His excuse was that he had wheel hop and suspension work and also needs slicks, I said you had the same setup as before but running @ 14psi, there are no excuses.

Probably would have looked better it they would have stick welded it.:durr

I have a cheap 300 lincoln flux core welder and it does exhaust and any thing else just fine. Doesn't look as pretty as a tig weld but pretty much the same as a proper mig weld.

My guess is he was using some flux core with the wire speed set for mig welding with a much smaller wire. I typically set mine at 1.5 out of 10 with the .035 flux core. Should be able to run it quite a bit faster with a .020 mig setup.

Whoever put the bet on denial, they win a Beeyond designed exhaust piece. Yea, those are nice welds, wonderful. I saw those pictures before I even went to Beeyond. So, why did you guys decide to fuck up on my car? Fact of the matter is that it is Beeyond's work. This isnt King shit talk. I am a Beeyond customer (or cutomer) and King customer reviewing my experiences with both shops. No shit talking involved, all facts.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the exhaust on this guys car... Wow nice welds on some other guys manifold woop dee dooo. Those nice welds were not on his exhaust. We are mostly intelligent people here and all know that with some shops extra care is usually taken on a car in for 5grand worth of work than a car in for a 300 dollar exhaust. But his welds were poor to ANY standard. What are you trying to say here that this guy didnt have that 300 bill from bee's shop and hid the actual exhaust he took off that was done there and replaced the pictures with some exhaust him and his friends practiced on??? 2 years later I doubt he went through that amount of trouble to discredit a shop that he never planned on going to again. :rolleyes:

you need more practice in tig welding. Your passes arent consistent. On the same piece you have runs that are too hot where the puddle flattened out and on the other side a bead that is too cold and doesnt have penetration with the bead raised up.

http://beeyondeng.com/DSCN0852.JPG

If you are going to overlap your welds at anytime especially in start and stop points you are supposed to ground them back so you dont get mountains of possible porrosity (right pipe)

http://beeyondeng.com/DSCN0853.JPG

so dont come out there and try to act like your welding is hot shit and you know what you are doing cause that work is apprentice at best.

And yes I have held welding jobs (4 years navy NDT certified welder, 2 years high pressure vessle welder in Illinois)

i do not know anything about welding, nor can i see the posters pics here at work, but jeeesus! another thread....really? the thing that i don't get is all the "you had the option" or "bee said to do it this way but you didn't" and the "you told us to do it that way". that is not how you run a shop for christs sake. when someone brings their stuff in for you to work on, you tell them what it is going to take to fix or fabricate it, present them with an estimate, and they either accept the estimate or they pick up their car. if you guys like seeing your name thrown around and people laughing at you keep doing things the way you are doing them. if you guys are going to continue to be a hack shop because customers "tell you to be", then at least start having some of these guys that "say no" to your recommendations, start signing waivers to cover your asses. posting a pic of a signed waiver by these people, showing everyone that they were fully aware that the job you guys were going to do was going to be subpar, would shut most of them up and help you guys attempt to salvage some of your reputation that is destroyed by all these posts.

i mean, is it really that hard to figure out??

ok even if it was settled 2 years ago or the minute it happened.....THEY STILL DID THE WORK! If you dont want to see shit or trouble being started then avoid it by DOING QUALITY WORK. Quality based on pricing is bs. Dont do the work then if you cant afford to give out a quality product or raise your prices to compensate. Doing bs work then claiming he couldnt pay for better quality is bullshit.

I think Guteman is 99% wrong too, he should have taken his entire exhaust apart the moment he received the car to check over all the welds. Hell he should have disassembled the entire car to make sure it was built right too because why should he TRUST that the shop he paid to do work actually did QUALITY WORK. Shame on you bro! Now you know, next time drop the exhaust to examine all the work then put it all back in and enjoy!

From personal experience I took my exhaust to get some fitment issues straightened out and I explicitly told them to NOT weld my polished stainless exhaust as I had very nice clamps. I didnt think I needed to check my exhaust by several months later I was under the car for something else and saw that they totally butchered my exhaust and welded over my clamps with welds almost as bad as those ruining the pipes and leaking like crazy.

If he understood the uses of NDT or its true application he wouldnt say shit. lets just say that in vessles that are boiler spec'd like I worked on the base rating is 1200psi. To be able to build and weld those is no simple task and they dont let rookies do it. Call it what you want but the welds speak the language you dont comprehend and its called "penetration & fusion" and by all pics posted those are seriously lacking in places. Just because metal is melted and can make a circle doesnt mean welding has taken place and please dont say that brown snot monster dripping off that pipe is a weld

honestly the fact you are attacking mockinu has sunk your battleship imho..... he is a pretty damn straight up guy and doesn't talk sh!t unless he knows what he is talking about. I've never been certified in TIG but ive seen excellent TIG welding from steamfitters where I use to live in California. Hell my welding instructor at Santa Rosa Junior College had Parkinsons and laid down smoother more consistant welds than what you showed in those pictures. Those photos show welds that are damn near undercut. If you think because they've held up thus far that makes them good you are fooling yourself. JB weld can hold two pipes together but is that the right way to go about it? If you really were a businessman interested in representing a good company you wouldn't argue and name call. You state your side of the story and leave it at that. But unfortunately it looks like your nutswingers in their zeal to defend you ripped your balls off...

I don't give a fuck if they say, "I don't care how it's done just do it.", to do work like that EVER shows what kind of shop they are. I would NEVER let work that poorly done fly in any business.

You know ho you get customers and you get people to do nothing but rant? Treat the dude that isn't looking for a big job now like he is just important as someone who is having you do the whole shebang. Instead of that dude making you look like a bunch of fuck ups all over the internet, he'd be ranting and raving about the quality and wouldn't even hesitate to come back when he may be looking to have the whole shebang done.

It is the responces from beyonds staff in this thread that really makles me doubt that they know what customer service really is. To blame the op for not looking over his exhaust, a component that goes under the car, is completely BS. If I have someone work on my car, I expect to get quality work no matter if I spend 50 bucks or 50,000 bucks. With that being said, the remarks "did he rely get the work done at are (I think you meant OUR here) shop" when he has a signed invoice is really not going to fly with anyone with even half a brain......Get a clue, this is the 2nd thread on here in a month where someone has said that you hacked up their car, shouldnt that clue you in that there is somthing wrong at your shop that needs to be addressed? I also noticed that every pic that you guys have on your site or have pictured in this thread is of a honda engine. I guess that if the customer who is paying you good money for work gets screwed if they dont have a honda product, dosnt have a q45 f34 (or what ever the fuck engine designation that honda uses) in their car. You should just put a honda or an acura sign on your shop and say that you only work on these cars, as well as a disclaimer that says if you have a sport compact that is anything other than a honda or an acura you will get fucked

Hey Bee, let me give you a business lesson.

When someone posts a HACK JOB like this, you do NOT try and justify your shotty craftsman ship by saying you didn't ay enough. YOU set the prices, if you are okay with trying to weld an exhaust ON someones car with assface welds as displayed thats your prerogative. But when someone complains about those same assface welds, you SHOULD try to resolve the problem by either issuing a refund or fixing the shit. You did neither but call everyone on a local forum a bunch of fools. Trust me, we already know who the fool is and the several threads recently about you prove it.

i can't believe the way the shop OWNER is responding to this..with all this talk about being a man and this and that.. wtf?? sure doesn't sound like a business owner to me..i will never refer ANYBODY to your shop and i agree with 88nightmare.

x3 here too. Its kind of sad. I wasn't quite ready to spend the big bucks on a shop I didn't know so well. Case in point, what they did to my exhaust. Bee, your missing out on a custom FMIC, downpipe, manifold, intake, and possibly a roll cage setup for my car. Not to mention referrals. Keep acting like you dont care. :thumbsup:thumbsup

Hey BEE, You may want to take the welder away from your guys and give them some of this if you plan on doing more exhaust work..... at least with this you can sand the high spots down and paint over it to give it that "non hack job finish" :durr

I thought the whole point of taking it to someone else to do it was that they'd do it right, it's exhaust not the space shuttle, there's no excuse to let something like that out of a "professional" shop.

I saw MacGyver weld better than that with a battery, jumper cables and 2 nickles.


I have done this sorta thing with 4 batterys mudding at the pipe line on parts of a driveline of a mud truck. im no welder either lol

and don't give me that "your welds aren't shit because they aren't used on a drag car" bs either. If the welds i do break, people die.

The best way to promote a business is word of mouth.

Beeyond, you handled this completely wrong. You came in here and bashed away with the hack hammer. You made yourselves look like assholes, bashing someone for posting work that you did poorly. Instead of apologizing, and assuring everyone that if they bring their car to your shop they will not recieve welds like this, you did the opposite.

If this is the way you treat your customers, wether it be 2 seconds or 2 decades after the work was done, how do you expect to have people come back?

I don't give a shit if you guys have built the fastest Hondas around. Congratulations. If you were to work on my car, the only car that matters to me when you're working on it is my car, and when you're working on my car, the only car that should matter to YOU is MY CAR. Same goes for anyone's car you work on. Do the job right and you won't have to worry about 2 years down the road.

Treat your past and current customers with respect and you will get more customers in the future. Even if it was a single shitty job from 2 years ago on some guy's SAAB that you did at a discount price, you should trat him with the same respect as someone asking you to build them a Honda for $20k. I don't see that here.

OK after reading all this stuff ill get on the band wagon. Bee you knpw that i like you guys and have defended you in the past but this is what 100% of the world would like you to say. so im saying it for you..

either

one. i did not do this work and this guy is full of shit because this is how i weld now. it might not be the best in the world but its better than most

or

two. yes i did not inspect my employees work and this is subpar and not the work i would have liked to see come out of my shop. over the years i have learned to inspect every job and our welds now are above par. i understand how this made you feel as a customer and if i could have inspected it right away i would know for sure we did this shitty job. because of the time that passed i can offer some welding for free up to the same amount and will give you a discount as well. sorry for the bad taste in your mouth and if there is anything i can do as the shop owner call me anytime..

who in there right mind could fault that... live and learn from this....

good luck...

I've done very little welding in my life. I found I do not have the knack for it. Work on your customer relations, Bee. Would you rather have a happy customer whom you tried to make things right with? Or do you really want a bunch of pissed off people complaining about your shop's work, and then you come back and complain about their comments? You obviously have pleased some of your customers, otherwise people would not ever call on your shop for work. Mistakes occur, although I don't know how to explain that weld. At my company, sometimes work leaves that comes back where the customer is not happy about...a wrong measurement, wrong material, or workmanship not up to par...whatever. We do not bash the customer, we work harder to make them happy and stay our client. Try as one might, some stuff will get by the inspection department and will be returned. We consult with the client and check documentation to find how the error occurred and then it is corrected before the next work order. All part of doing good business. I also DJ. Would you like it if a DJ you heard good things about showed at your event drunk carrying a boom box and a cassette tape of the chicken dance. And after you complain, he shows you pics or video of class entertainment he did for someone else? You know that isn't gonna fly. So let loose of your ego and butt hurtedness and take this as a lesson learned. I am The Mighty Lord Airgtar...and I have spoken.

If Beeyond did do that work, they should do SOMETHING to make it right IMO.

Dont show us pictures of work you have done on other/your own cars.

Make it right, Bee.

Are the shotty welds the only issue you have with Beeyond?

If so, what ever happened to the old days where you go to the shop in person and share your concern?

After two years of never noticing the welds, the first thing you do is make a post on the internet?

While I will agree those welds are junk, I think there was better ways in going about this!

The only way I can think of making it right is to never let work like this out the door, ever again, for any make and model. I don't want them working on my car, that trust is broken. I'd like to think that Beeyond doesn't do this to other customer cars.

$300 sounds pretty cheap, but in reality it's not far off at all. I provided the downpipe, flex pipe, cat, muffler, and tip. And the exhaust itself wasn't tough at all to fabricate (just look at "King"'s work). Considering they did the work in half a day and seemed to of used scrap metal, they still made money on the job. I think carelessness played a HUGE role in this whole ordeal.

I've got other issues, but nothing as personal as this one. The other issues are a bunch of he said she saids that I take with a grain of salt.

I contemplated not even mentioning anything at all. I am usually the type of guy whom will just suck it up and move on with life. Then I start thinking about the other customers who might get this same treatment. I'm done explaining why I never noticed the welds until two years later. The situation would be been handled differently if I had seen them right away.

If i had gone to the shop I get the feeling the response would be "Woops, sorry, but look at these other welds" based on the type of replies I got from Simon and Bee today. I sincerely dont think they would do anything about it, which would lead me to posting a thread anyway. Either way I dont feel I did anything out of line by informing the public of my dealings with Beeyond/King.

Who the hell takes off their exhaust to look at welds? I could see if you took a look before it was reinstalled but you should be able to trust the work was done right. Don't blame him for not checking his exhaust in 2 years.. There was no reason for him to, it sounded ok and held up, all he is doing is showing Beeyonds craftsmanship. Which is a riot.

Was the tip welded on nicely? You think it would be easy to spot.
