Default 1.7L kenne bell

Suckiest crap happened to me last month. I had bought a 2.1L kenne bell big bore for my 2004 Mustang Gt from ebay and was all excited, ready to install and make my horse run. Well after i recieved the kit, i went to kenne bell office in rancho cucamonga,CA. They end up telling me that i had just bought a 1.7L not the Big Bore 2.1L. It sucked hearing that. Now i am making a claim for this guy to take this 1.7L back and give me a full refund bought at $3100 so this way i can buy a brand new one from Kenne Bell with a real 2.1L Big Bore. Darn false advertisement man. To give you all a heads up and dont get raped like i did. Right AFT or right behind the front pulley, there is a silver ring if you have the black one not the polished (polished look at the black one for the ring going around the twin screw location) and i 4got what side it actually is (left or right) take a look. It has a serial number engraved. The serial starting with a "B" is the actual 2.1L Big Bore. The number starting with the "417" is the 1.7L hense the 17 after the 4. Didnt have a clue about this until i head it from the horses mouth. Be very careful purchasing a used kit. I wasnt, now i got shafted. Hope this helps you all.

if they claimed it was a 2.1 in the ebay listing and it is a 1.7 you will win your dispute no doubt for the item not being as described.

I dunno, seems like I've read you have to make a claim within one month of receiving the item. You could still be in trouble.

Yeah as soon as i recieved the incomplete kit i took it to kenne bell and they told me it was a 1.7 i filed the claim right away. sucky thing is ebay wants documentation for where it says what kit is what and i sent them and email with kenne bells info and told them that this is the presidents office number and to just give him a call. Im sure they would lie about their own kits. i havent heard yet whats up. Ill keep you all posted on what the outcome is but from what i have done as far as providing them info, they should grant me the refund.

A combination of the return shipping address, a few guys, and a few lead pipes should def take care of the situation.
