[QUOTE="Downshift, post: 467391, member: 8077"] So I ordered some BBK Long tubes from summit a couple months ago. Been rebuilding my Transmission so I just got them in yesterday. The Passenger side header is tweaked out. The flange on the bottom looks welded wrong and the whole bottom looks out of line anyway. I cant get the mid pipe to line up for anything. Took me an hour of prying with a 18 inch breaker bar just to get the flange to touch the studs on the Long tube and its no where close to sealing. Called up summit and they are gonna send me some to replace them but I still feel like I got shafted. These are NOT that easy to get in and between going to school full time and working its hard to find time where I still have light out. So instead of being on the road RIGHT now I have to wait til tomorrow to get them back and then wait until I have time to get them back in. I asked for some kind of compensation in the form of getting ceramic or some money back for my trouble and time and got told tough luck take it up with bbk. What would you guys do? Should I even attempt to work something out with bbk or am I up shit creek with no paddle? [/QUOTE]
