My shipping & boxing guys didn't notice the changes
And hearing this BS about the experts saying it wont hurt performance is crazy. If TSP is asking the "experts" about it, then what does that make them?
All of this reminds me of a set of their headers I installed rcently that would not connect to the x pipe that the headers go with because the spacing on the headers was an INCH wider than the x pipe. I was told this was NORMAL. WOW is all I can say. I was also told to loosen the bolts on the headers until just a few threads were in the heads and then ... listen to this **** ... I was told to put a ratchet strap around the headers and bend them until the x pipe would slide up on them!!! Again, TSP said it was "normal" to have to do this. Common sense tells me if the x pipe has 5" spacing then the headers should be 5" as well or vise versa.

Say what??? If I handled the same part on a daily basis and all of the sudden there was a difference this drastic there is no way in hell I would miss that. Hell, Ray Charles would have caught that. And as many as there are out there like this Im sure a set of the jacked up merges got installed at the shop, and Im also sure that if asked TSP is gonna deny.

aside from this mishap, they make some dyno proven stuff, but the fit and finish needs to be addressed in my opinion. My friends 1 7/8 tsp's have the wires touching the headers.. a razor blade fixes this issue, but that should have been caught and tweaked a lil bit. My Kooks fit perfectly.
If I had any input on the true duals, Id redesign it in such a way where it tucks up a little tighter below the under carriage. Also welding a skid pad underneath the merge would help too. Just a suggestion.

Not to sound like I'm bashing TSP, but I used to work as Quality Control Inspector for an assembly line and we had to report even the slightest change if any on any given product, so assuming the correct merge is what they posted here and something like "this" past their inspection team, their is clearly something wrong their, their is no way something so drastic can pass through without someone noticing it
