Well I found someone else that can use them already so no big deal and little to no money lost depending on cost to ship them.

Default Got my Headers.

Well I got most of what was suppose to be in the box. The bolts for the flanges didn't make it due to the large gaping hole in the box and one of the band clamps looks like it was stepped on. I filed a claim/complaint with UPS, it probably won't make a difference but I am starting to get pissed that every box we have gotten from UPS since we moved here has been moderately to severely damaged. Hell an Alpine amp I bought off of ebay didn't even make with a box. I found it just wrapped in bubble wrap sitting on my porch and I am sure it was sent in a box. Anyway here are a few pictures excuse my crappy camera.

The Box



The Clamps



Other Stuff

Those look nice except for the squashed band clamp

J/K, where did you buy those and how much were they if you don't mind. It's probably a non-sponsor link, so just PM it to me

Comes with gaskets, but I ordered some Percy's xx Carbon gaskets. Not sure if I'm gonna use those or not. I may just go an get some oem gaskets if I don't like how the Percy's look. Like most any headers they do not come with header bolts either, so you will need to order some of those too. I orderd some Stage 8 locking header bolts. You will also need to buy some plugs for the extra O2 bungs and its a good idea to gets some heat shielding for at least a couple of the plug wires.

I can tune out the the rear O2's with Hp Tuners and make whatever fueling changes might be needed to avoid any SES lights and get the most from the headers.

I would also like to say that customer service from the guy has been good. I sent him an email last night about the state I recieved the box in with a couple of pictures and I let him know that I filed a claim with UPS for $45. I asked if he can just refund that money back to me when he gets it from UPS, so I can buy new band clamps and collector bolts. He responded saying that he can go ahead and refund me $50 an not wait on the UPS claim!
