I have spent the better part of two hours searching the archives on KYMCO AUTOMOTIVE RACING and I think I'm more confused than when I started. I was going to be spending about 1000.00 on new alternator, breather box, ceramic exhaust w/performance heater boxes. Just want to see if anyone has any recent dealing with them and if so how was it? Also what about the quality of there exhaust systems?

Ther was a shakeup in ownership/managment/employees a few years ago, not exactly sure which.

I agree. I've bought products with them and have had zero problems.

Excellent exhaust systems IMHO. I have three of their extractors, one of which is now over ten years old and still looks/sounds good.
Bad feedback was from a short period when they were having either management or owner changes. Can't remember which.
Easy people to deal with for me before and after the changes. I purchased a system for my 59 dc and stored it on a shelf for two years , decided to install it instead on my 60 singlecab and the muffler was the wrong one. Called them , told them what was up, that I had no reciept but it was still unused. Sent it back and they sent me a new one and were very decent about it too. I'll buy my next one there too. |

| Just curious, does Kymco have a web sight anymore? I know I havent seen an ad in Hot VWs for them lately. They always had some great looking products at good prices in their ads. |

Their ad was in this month's HOTVW's, first time I had seen it.
kymcovw.com
It is just one page, none of the links are working so you can't see
any of the products.

Just got a set of flanged j-tubes for a Thing 1 1/2" header.
It was here in 2 days. I've ordered a few times from KYMCO
and always get great phone service and really fast delivery.
I'll be getting more from them. Thanks for the great service. |

| Got a ceramic coated 1 1/2 inch merged exhaust w/heater boxes. Fits good, looks good, fast shipping. I'd do business with them again. |

| Ordered a couple of parts from Kymco, they suggested I buy a kit that had all of them in it and it saved me a few bucks. Good people. Still running three of their extractors the oldest of which is ten years old and is pushing 100,000 miles. Got my monies worth on that one! |
