Actually I'm waiting on a 2nd one to arrive. I didn't get a band clamp in this box, the paperwork was for a 23 or 43 and there was no ID sticker on the pipe. So this one got RMA'd, the new one should be here tomorrow. The lack of the 2nd clamp leads me to think: #1. it's for a GT or #2. Pypes is cutting costs by not sending them anymore. Leaning towards #1 since the paperwork was wrong, but with how things get downsized anymore #2 is a possibility.

Had a heck of time finding band clamps locally...Ford wants $46 a piece! It never ceases to amaze me when you go into a local auto parts store for something you ain't gonna find on the computer and they look at you like you're from mars and want 10,000 snicker bars and a lemonade. I finally stopped at a Napa where the guys actually know how to fix problems. I wanted the clamps instead of the U bolts and in case they shaft me the 2nd clamp again.

After all that I got to wait for a day where my buddy's boss ain't gonna be a complete jackass about "sawing off $1200 pipes".

 

Got another x today. This one is a bit different - has a sticker on it and correct instruction sheet, but still no extra band clamp. Awesome quality control.
