Looks good but do I see the spike welded off center? Might cause some turbulence if it's off too far?

very nice I was going either with thoughs or the TPS. I ended up going with the TPS because of the price difference but I bet those will go on alot better then the TSP's did. Now get them on and then to a dyno see what they do for you

Are you serious? If so then..... Yeah they might be slightly off and based on the dynamic airflow caused by the .2389 inches offset divided by two and squared.... then throw in it is probably a stock car.... it may set him back 0.000000000000147600000500800545 hp. Come on Here is a SAMPLE. I remember one guy that returned several sets of headers to us at MTI because the spike wasn't PERFECT, all I could think was WTF are you serious. Like it is going to make a difference on a stock car, or even a built motor car.

With your thinking manufacturers can produce crap and it's ok. Sure, some misalignment won't make much difference on an almost stock engine but why accept junk?

Here's an example. I guess this looks good to you?

This is the header NiceTry had expected me to accept at MTI. Ended up shipping it back to the manufacturer. Prefer not to mention the manufacturer as they really did make amends and took care of me. They sent me a good replacement and paid shipping both ways. Even sent me a tee shirt.

As a mutual friend Rick Harper said when told about this "Ohh GOTTDAMN that sunuva bitch".... They were Kooks. Didn't we take one or two sets back? I don't remember....
And no it's not produce junk, if the welds cracked, headers were bent etc I can understand. But the fire cone being off maybe a quarter of an inch let's get real, they are a mass produced header I would hardly call that junk. If you are going to not get sleep over something that IS NOT going to cost you power, or fail then that is your choice. I see just as many Kooks headers with slight deformities as I did ASP pulleys.

Your mentality separates the winners from the losers at the track!

If Kooks thought Larry was crazy, then why did they fix his problem and send him a replacement? Obvious answer is Kooks thought there indeed was a poor quality problem. Oh, off center spikes do indeed cause a loss of power. I might add, MTI is now in my doghouse too. They were all to happy to sell Xcelerator CAI's and then one day, pulled the rug out from sales, service and support to them. A big BOO!
