Look at my brand new header, is this a defect?
Ok so i bought a brand new Greddy header, but right after i recieved the header i noticed on 3 of the 4 outlets there were what seemed like gashes on them... so i sent it back to the seller but they swear up and down that they ordered a new one and it looks just the same and that this is normal? Here is a pic, All Greddy headers look like this?

Weird I looked but it must have been deleted. Send it back and tell them you want a full refund. That is terrible business

Tell him you want a refund if it is the same. If he tells you no tell him you will
a.) Beat his ***
b.) Tell everyone on H-T not to buy from him
c.) Screw his mom

Absolutely not normal FTW! Seriously, that header is fucked up Looks like a heat stress fracture from the weld. It could have cooled down too fast.

It is just poor quality, eventually it will give you problems. If you are serious about making power on an N/A setup a header that doesn't flow properly will rob you of some serious hp.

it looks like it would still flow like crap
if that is normal then I wouldnt buy greddy prodeucts anymore, I could make a better header than that

Never ran Greddy because of the people I knew who ran their ****. They were dumb so I associated their products with being stupid; needless to say so I am biased and I have no opinion That header needs to go regardless
