First, they would have to reply to my report and demand to have the pipe shipped to them. So far they don't say anything. Jegs doesn't want the pipe shipped back to them, I guess its useless to them and shipping that thing international is not cheap.

The mystery of one bank not running is solved!!!
It took me only about 3 month, countless hours of head scratching, worrying, swapping parts and money to figure out: Hooker fucked up big time!
I mentioned that I installed brand new Hooker 2470 headers and their 16723 y-pipe... well, turns out the "y-pipe" I received is more of an "I-pipe"
Who would have thought of something like this?!
I am a bit worried about something being damaged... piston rings? Valves?
Jeeez, I am SOOOO mad at Hooker for delivering something like this.... Quality control, hello?!
There are not enough "mad" smilies to express what I feel. What would you do to Hooker?
But see for yourself:

Do you have the car running well with a different y pipe yet? Hooker is just a name brand, Holley is the company, and they are headquartered just a few miles from me, here in Bowling Green KY. I'd contact them directly and ask them to make it right. The product is engineered here, then manufactured abroad, just like iPhones for example. If you sent them anywhere it would probably be here. However the defect is obvious, they never cut the hole in the right side pipe where the left side pipe should dump into it. I'd get on their web site, call them on the phone and forget FB. That is a serious defect. I could see how it could be done easily enough, but it should be caught be QC and not make it out of the manufacturing facility. I'd ask them to ship me a complete Blackheart exhaust system free, to make it even for all your frustration and costs troubleshooting the problem. The Blackheart is their higher end product.

Yes Holley owns Hooker. Hooker Headers were made in the USA, in Mississippi I believe. They had a A LOT of quality control issues and **** poor workmanship.
Now the Hooker headers and Flowtech are made over seas and the quality has improved a bunch.
The Blackheart line is made at Holley in Bowling Green.

Yes I do, but I had the defect y-pipe fixed by a local welder instead of buying another one.
I did everything you mentioned, contacted Holley via Facebook, telephone and email. Even had someone here on the board try to help me... result: nada, niente, zero. They just don't give a flying ****.
As stated before, I'll try to avoid Holley products from now on everywhere I can.
If I will upgrade the exhaust system again, I'm pretty sure I'd go with Kooks.
