LS6427: The headers look great..
Ya, unfortunately those are the only boxes offered to us. Most of the time they show up just fine, but every now and then we see this. Believe it or not we really only have 2-3 damage claims on our headers in a year. I will talk with them again however on packaging. Maybe we'll have better luck this time.
Thanks
Sean

If they cannot offer a different box....all they have to do is put a piece of cardboard inbetween the two headers in the box so they cannot rub together and just wrap/roll them up in heavy construction paper. And they definitely must cap both collectors with some kind of covering so they don't push and rip through the box. Then they hang out 3-4 inches and get all banged up.
About The Install.......Ridiculously easy.....
Headers went in last night.........drivers side went up into place in about 10 seconds. Passengers side went up in about 20 seconds. Bolted right up....and they offer a substantial amount of extra room to remove/install spark plugs. A spark plug change is a breeze now....even on the back two on the passengers side.

Could be the box...
Could be a disgruntled employee...

We use double corrugated boxes and still have UPS drivers treating them like frisbees. They flat out destroy the boxes and simply don't care. People always blame packaging, but its usually the people mis-handling them that cause the problems. Thus, the reason UPS typically pays on damage claims; it's primarily them to blame.

Good product from Speed Engineering........MUST protect them for shipping since UPS and Fedex truck drivers are jackasses who don't care.

my SE headers came packaged well, the box was slightly torn from the collector but come on guys they are trying to fit an ODD LONG metal piece in a rectangle box, square peg round hole story you know?

My bmr k member came shipped in heavy gauge cardboard, all corners that "could" rip through the box were doubled up with card board folded in an "L" shape around them..
That's how you avoid something piercing through the box when a ups driver fly kicks the package to the door!

It has nothing to do with the shape of it, thin cardboard sucks period.

LilJayV10, ((and the Speed Engineering and potential customers))
So I had them installed and I brought it to the exhaust shop to have them re-connect the Y pipe to the collectors.
YES.....my drivers side header at the collector end was also angled upward a little too high. Its a little close to the floorboard. The exhaust guy said it was a little tough to get the flange not to hit the floorboard and cut exhaust pieces at angles to make that little downward angle to the Y pipe. But he did it......
SE...
The drivers side collector should be angled a little more downward so its horizontal to the ground.
