about to buy a QA1 k member

[93PGT]

on ebay 260 shipped. they have good feedback. as soon as they give me the warranntee/fitment garentee info. i am about to buy. If i have to drop they k member to install my longtubes than there is no way i will do it twice. and it sounds like a tubular k member is something i want in the future anyways right? i have read on here about fitment issues. is there another brand. I am not a high $$$$ spender but do appreciate a quality part vs. cheap junk

Mine is one POS. Didn't fit up right. They said the stock arms would fit but didn't say about grinding them down to fit. On the rear most a arm bolts the holes are drilled to high so you have to grind down the nuts inorder to get the bolts to work. Unless you fill the holes and redrill new ones. Plus it also shifted my motor a little. After some nice persuasion it finally worked out. Oh and I had to get their adjustable a arms which I had to cut down just to tuck the tires back to stock and to even align it right. The UPR stuff is pretty nice though. Some people have had good luck with QA1 but I will never buy another one from them. Cheap is cheap. Plain and simple. Hope this helps ya some.

thanks, I want a tubular k member. but QA1 is sounding like a bad quality piece. any other options?

I have put on a couple UPR ones. They fit pretty nice with the newer design. AJE makes a nice one along with PA. If you have the cash money then do a MM type. Granted its not much weight savings but they are strong and allow you to get to many things a lot easier. Especially retourqing those header bolts or building a custom turbo set up.

well, to hell with the k member. if i can put in the LT's by lifting the motor. I just got my last manifold bolt out. :dancing6: so hopefully i can get that side in today. then pick up that bastard egr peice tommorrow and get that side done.

or just eliminate that pesky EGR and never look back. Just takes a pipe cap and a block off plate and problem solved.
