Default Try having your car sitting for a few days waiting for parts. Unless you change your policy, it's

crappy service

Default Why are you holding us to a higher standard than all other companies?

We are CERTAINLY not the only company who handles warranties like this, yet you are going out of your way to spin it into a poor customer service issue.

I am frankly bored with your painfully obvious agenda to make me and my company look bad. You need a new hobby.

Default FYI, you have an invalid e-mail address, and apparently we have tried to call you multiple

times over the last several days, including today, with no answer.

Default all this info is included with the headers when they are sold?

it must be as these are sold as bolt on headers and should work just as the stockers do.

Default I just like irritating you. And it works =)

Next time pick a posterchild that isn't an a-hole.

Default fwiw I've seen more failed stockers than aftermarket, and when they fail(usually internally) they

take out a turbo. Though that is *definitely* a statistical thing; you're probably right in saying they're safer.

Default You'll have to make a support that can support the weight, but move about to support

the dimensional changes. Not the easiest thing to design/test. :-( Bolting it directly will fail the header in less than a week I'd imagine.
