Default Anyone bought TSP headers w/ these flanges?

FWIW, I just got these wed. and opened them this morning, so I have not talked to anyone yet.

Wondering if anyone who has purchased these 1 7/8 TSP headers had the same issues?

Just to clarify the primaries dont line up with the flange. Dont mind the picture phone pics, my SLR is in the shop....not.

I guess to meet their price point they had to cut some corners. They really should send you a new set that is built right.

Talked to TSP this morning, and they have had a bunch out of the batch that look like this. They are in the process of making a new batch. I knew they were going to make right, now it will only be a few weeks.

BTW they dont recommend grinding them, you grind 'em you own'em

Thanks for the call this morning, Cory. We'll get this fixed ASAP and we appreciate the chance to correct the issue. The bosses are on the phone with the manufacturer as I type this trying to get this resolved!

Wow, I'm glad I heard about this before we tried to install mine. I ordered mine with the TSP ORY through RPM of Garner, NC on 2/12/10 and just picked them up 2 weeks ago. I'm gonna call TSP in the morning. Here's pics of mine still in the plastic and the shipping label in case TSP wants to see it. I just want a refund so I can buy some Pacesetters. I'm NOT bashing TSP but after waiting over a month for them and now I can't even install them this week as planned I just want some coated Pacesetters.
