ok...so ive had my headers for like a week and a half...not installed. got them from summit racing...going to get them installed on Dec. 11th along with my Vortech...just to give yall some background.

i thought the headers were fine...and then somebody who came to my apartment saw what looks like a dent or something like that in them. i think theyre fine (and im really hoping they are). i thought it was just the way they bend and then collect together. its only on one side...the passenger side.

are they supposed to be bent like this? or is this a problem from the factory or that occurred during shipping. i really appreciate input as if its a problem id need to replace them within 11 days lol. ive attached some pics to help explain myself.

the first 2 pics are of the driver side...which appears to be totally fine. the last 2 are of the passenger side...the one im asking about.

Ya there supposed to bent. If it wasnt bent you wouldnt be able to fit them in. Thats the only reason there bent fitment issues...

The bend is the only way they'll clear the steering shaft. The one that is bent is actually for the drivers side. If your not installing this stuff yourself be prepared to fork out some $$$$

thats what i thought too...but the person who came over was like wtf what is that ding...i was like its supposed to be like that. she asked "are you sure?" and then i just figured id double check with all the friendly folks on here lol. i dont want any surprises when i go to get everything installed.

rbstang

theres your problem.

Car_Ramrod

haha i know i know. im just getting really anxious/excited/cant ever stop thinking about 11 days from now when i get everything installed. so i keep double and triple checking that everything is going to go as smooth as possible.

its not every day you go from the area of 230 rwhp to the area of 350 rwhp lol. at least im hoping for at least 350.

p.s...im in the library on campus and i actually laughed out loud when i read that lol. and i already knew that comment would be coming from somebody lol. its funny cuz its true (mostly)
