Just can't stay away

I too had a serious problem with Kepich, and would never use them again. Ordered a complete system for my Hudson, and not one part was correct. They did take the system back and supply the correct one, but it took weeks for the parts to arrive and the problem corrected. I felt the way they handled the problem was very unprofessional...and therefore never used them again, and never will. I also might add for all the trouble their wrong system caused, I never even got an apology for their mistake. There are a lot of other exhaust vendors out there to spend your hard earned money on.....

I had problems many years ago with a Kepich system and they refused to address the problems so I have never used them again. Friends have since purchased systems for 50s Packards, Lincolns, etc., all of which required welding, bending, and other modifications to make them fit properly. Fortunately there are other vendors for exhaust systems that fit properly and if minor problems are encountered, they are willing to work with you towards a resolution which is more than Kepich was willing to do with me.

I had trouble with two Kepich exhaust systems. At the time I was doing 1941 I also decided to re-do the exhaust on my 1968 AMX.
Both had to be reworked extensively to fit. Calculating all the time and trouble it was not worth it. I had to wonder how they have stayed in business so long. Maybe it is because they advertise so heavily and are tone deaf to complaints.

I'm wondering if there is a decent exhaust vendor.
This same question came up a year or so ago. At that time Klasscollections in NC (Kepich, I believe) got the nod over Classic Car exhaust (the other ebay vendor from Ohio) because people had a lot of trouble with fit on their items.. I notice Klass has almost stopped their ebay offerings while Classic is still prominent.

You might consider Waldron Exhaust, good experiences with them though I've only bought component parts from them and not a complete repro system. I also have friends that have bought repro systems for Packards from Kanter with no issues.

I bought my two Patrician systems from Waldron, Good prices, Good Qulity, and they are just down the road a short drive so I can pick up.

Bought an exhaust system from Kepich a few years ago for a 1930 740 Packard - total waste of money required drastic modification to make it fit and the muffler was partially blocked with machining "swarf".
Would have been better and cheaper to have had it all custom made locally. David

I bought a Waldron stainless steel kit for my 1937 138CD. It fit with no problems. Being kinda of an oddball model I was impressed that it fit so well.

1936 and 1937 120's Are what we like best. But we also like all other Packards too.
