Expending a lot of energy here, not sure how it's helping. Hard to be on the side of someone who's being dick-ish. Speed engineering has helped me - actually my wife the first time - when SHE AND I CALLED THEM. They picked up the phone and took care of the issue. May be they aren't helping you, I don't know. But your attitude is **** pour and it makes it difficult for others to see anything past that. Basic human nature.

Lol, and the drama continues. Yes, I sent him a return label on the 13th. It just arrived back to us on Friday afternoon. Another one will be going out today.
Thanks

So basically he could have clamped the end of the collector to the mid pipe like you would normally install and it would have resulted in:
1. No leaks
2. No visible damage
And he would have been able to relay to his customers that the quality of your product is so damn good that even when fedex damages the package, it still results in a product that performs the way it was intended with no visible sign of damage seeing as how the damage would be covered up with a clamp. LOL
Worst case is you just cut off 5mm off the end of the collector prior to install.

Keep the y-pipe too.. For those of you with SE headers, are you able to fit a soda can under the driver side collector? I can almost fit the can (few mm off) but I'm at 26.5" ride height with UMI k-member and prothane motor mounts. For those of you that are able to fit the can, please indicate:
Front ride height (middle of fender to ground)
Rear ride height (middle of fender to ground)
K-member type
Motor mount type
Maybe the UMI/Prothane combo causes the engine to sit lower than stock?
Stock ride height can vary from car to car but some have reported 28" rear and 27-3/4" front.

So it looks like the OD varies a a bit. I checked em all over, most measurements were a little bigger than 1.75, some were slightly under. Nothing I am concerned with. Again, very happy. Just wanted to throw these up for a couple of nerds like me who want and need actual measurements.

Photo dump of my Speed Engineering 1-7/8" long tubes - installing them on a 1970 C10.
Driver's side:
Passenger side:
The starter / O2 sensor wiring is tight as hell on the passenger side. At the very least I need to undo some of the terminals on the starter and re-orient the ring terminals. Definitely going to add some heat shielding over here.
Underneath:
The collectors aim pretty squarely at the trans crossmember. The exhaust shop is going to have to fab up a jog down here - the previous setup just had long downpipes that brought the whole system to below-frame level.
Clearance to the oil pressure sender is close but nothing to worry about.
I need to finish getting them installed (need new header bolts, ordered a set of studs for it) but I'm extremely happy with these for the money. They fit way better than the fourthgen shorty headers I've been running.
