right where the primaries go into the collector i tooke a big v chunk out and bent it over and welded it to point straight back.. worked like a charm and made fabbing up my h pipe a lot easier... better groung clearance too

LMAO!!! 
Sounds like a great product. Cheap, doesnt fit, cant wait til the threads start up. Thats why real headers cost more money. Research and development into fitment issues as well as quality. You get what you pay for. Buy a set from a sponsor and you dont have to cut them apart to get them to fit properly.

Thats the research part of it kicking in. They spent hours fitting them to the car and making sure they fit in all aspects. Its what real companies do.
The ebay knock off 's didnt do anything but copy someone else's work and then didnt do a good job at that.

do some research before you critize
QTP, Kooks, Pacesetters, (Your Stainless Works), etc. all have had post in the past of having problems with fitment issues. every car is different as every header may fit differently on each car.... some people just don't understand this (not saying only you)
by the way these headers are knock offs of the hooker super competition headers
Nutswingers to the rescue. 
Theres a difference between every header fitting differently, and EVERY header having the collector attempting to blow a hole in your ***.
