Yeah, I won't be buying anything Pypes.. new or used ever again.

 

Reminds me of the ordeal I had several years ago with a Pypes midpipe in a kit that was seriously mis-bent. Wouldn't come within 6" of meeting up at the muffler end.

Pypes customer "service" is a joke. Had to go all the way to the president of the company to get anything done, and it was like pulling teeth the whole way.

Good luck man, with Pypes involved, you will need some...

 

Yeah, I am done with them. I will either get it customized to fit or sell the X pipe and buy some real LT headers later on.

 

I dont' see why or how pypes would/should step-up?

Pypes stated their policy and asked some basic questions. The OP decided to get defensive/ofensive (threatening) because Pypes said 'no' or wasn't giving in easily. I would've asked the guy I bought the used headers from about fitment on his car especially if the OP didn't see them installed on the car himself.

While I've never been a big fan of Pypes, I don't see that full fault is on them in this case. Not arguing, Just my $0.02

 

I wasn't asking them to step up. I was asking them to sell me one header. I guess that international phone call to China is too difficult to make to tell them to offset production by one.

I didn't threaten them, I told him that he was missing an opportunity to have one positive customer service story floating around since all I have read since this began is how terrible their service is. Which I think was also Widow Makers point.
Never did I say that I was going to start a bash thread, and like I said I had no intentions of doing so until he tried to play the seller and I against each other.

and their "policy" is that if you are the original seller they might try to help you but if you aren't then F-U?

 

The Headers were on the original buyers car if you looked at the posted picture. Please read the posted emails and notice where he said he would like to buy just one header. Pypes is absolute junk. I have the bus schedule and have no problem throwing them under it. When they released their headers for the 05-10 Mustang their first batch were all bent wrong. They fixed it, but never recalled the bad ones. Look it up or better yet ask around. There are still some floating around out there.

 

The whole refusal to sell one header is strange. At work we have to buy strange components all the time for our machines which are all one use only, and almost every vendor is capable of selling us one components out of an assembly, short of it being something that is mass produced and three levels deep to find the component. Headers are not massed produced, not when compared to the stock exhaust manifolds in quantity or in manufacturing style.

 

Yeah, this situation just sucks bro.

 

Well, now I don't feel like a dumbass... shut up John..you too Steve.

 

and that difference would have let it fit just fine. F-me.
