So even though you paid for one thing, got another of lesser value you would just give your money away?
This is typical of an Ebay sale. Junk cast in another country ( yes junk stainless steel) with a stolen or copied design from a real company gets sold and is not what was paid for.

I have been reading about those in the car forums and was going to roll the dice on them. I never like buying off brand stuff off eBay but so many were saying how nice these are and fit well, etc. Well...back to my original premise....eBay off brand copies suck. Thanks for the warning, 86....I knew they looked too good to be true.

tubing is generally measured from the outside diameter.. so if you figure in the material thickness you have .060 wall thickness 1.75 outside diameter headers..
if companies are going from 1.75 inside dia, your outer diameter is going to be 1.875.. or 1 7/8.. actually on a smallblock i think a 1.750 id would be big/overkill unless your running boost or nitrous..
seems like i read somewhere, maybe dr.gas website that on a mild smallblock 1.75 is to big and will kill performance. they were recommending 1 5/8 headers.

You must verify everything involving money these days my friends,
A Mistake ? Maybe, but why out of the last 20 times I have had problems retailers/vendors
Et cetera Have all these mistakes been in their Favor ?
The odds of that happening are 1 million to one
I ream peoples azz Ez and have even gotten a couple of Jobs
Or have my accounts credited for free services
Get your money back and go somewhere else
Bon

I put 1 3/4 " headers on my 79 Z28 with the old shcool sbc 350 in it and picked up top end performance and did not lose a thing on the bottom end.
(Had 1 1/2 or 1 5/8 on it)
Smokes the hell out of the tires same as it used to but now it hits 100 mph where befored it struggled to hit 80.
