Shouldn't you be somewhere giving someone the wrong information on their cam?

 

Nope. Would rather hear you be a crybaby about minor packing issues......

 

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.

 

BOOM. A solution.
Feeling the love yet?

 

People replying to my problem that can have nothing to do with the solution are the ones expending unnecessary energy here. Also people who have probably never purchased anything from them but are just forum trolls. Search my forum post to see what I contribute here. My purpose for posting about the damaged header was to let others know about their poor packaging if they are thinking about buying them. And FWIW I tune on average 25-30 GM trucks a month. Do you have any idea how many of those tune customers I've referred to Speed Engineering to purchase their headers. Well it's quite a few. I'm going to be reassessing those referrals in the future. And no I'm not real happy so far with Speed Engineering's attitude about receiving a damaged product from them and what it is taking to resolve the issue. It really makes no difference to me how they resolved issues for others.

 

So where are you at on the issue resolution exactly?

 

I have shipped back the damaged header and am waiting on a replacement.

 

Man this guy is upset lol I'd hate to see what happens when he faces a real problem in life. Like a flat tire, roof leak or gum on his shoe lol guy must really lose his ****....

speed eng is taking care of it sounds like and stuff happens. Idk why he's so upset lol dude must not have a lot goin on

 

Some guys just like making mountains outta anthills. Wonder what happens when a bird craps on his windshield....

 

So you spoke to them and they told you to send it back? Correct? On who's dime? Did you speak directly to them? Just want to know how this ends up.

 

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
Sean

 

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.

 

^^^^^this^^^^^^^
BUT, then he couldn't moan and groan.
Can't cheat a man out of a good tantrum...

 

Wow. Wasn't even a fraction of damage expected. Thanks for posting Sean.

 

And if I were Speed Engineering that is EXACTLY what I would do, and no one would be the wiser.

 

I'd buy that for a reduced price Sean! Keep the y-pipe too..

 

Jay-P: Sent you a PM.

Thanks
Sean

 

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.

 

hey buddy the way u measured the tubes is that the correct way to find out if there 1 3/4 or 1 7/8? You said most of them where about 1.75

 

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.
