    Just wanted to make a BUYER BEWARE type thread, while installing my headers we came across one bolt hole on both the front and rear header that did NOT line up with the bolt holes in the head. Here are a few pics. When I contacted Speed Daddy about it they more or less told me tough sh!t.














    Sorry for the crappy quality on the last 2 pics. Hard to get a pic of the lower bolt on the rear header in a way so you could see the issue.

    No, not the car.

    It's the owner.

    I just tightened the piss out of the other bolts.. No leaks that I can tell. But I will eventually drill the holes out to match the heads.

    if it helps you at all, they were the drivers side lower one on the rear header, and the passenger side lower one on the front header....

    Now..that's one I haven't seen before. Although..I think there were a couple of Plogs that ZZP welded the flange upside down. Might have been the same on this.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Have you considered that Brandon was the cause of the issue?

    508x262 versus 461x200.

    congratulations, you're about 70% as big as the 'FULL SIZE PICTURE'.

    when i had a signature i kept mine really small to keep people from having to scroll past it because im courteous and no one really cares about your signature in the end.
