Well I guess my first mistake was buying a used header, and I guess after 5 or so buys/sells on H-T that went well I let my guard down!!!

The header was advertised by a member here as ONLY haveing a 3inch scratch, and NOT dented AT ALL!!! I have the convo saved, but for now I will not say who it was just in case hes willing to make good of this deal!!!

Here are pics of the "3'' scratch"





As you can see there is clearly 2 large dents in the header!!! If you look inside the header, you can see the dent from the inside as well, so my question is:

Will this greatly affect the flow of the header? Is it worth even putting on?

I know its my dumb fault for believing him, but I was in a rush to get the thing, and bought it only seeing pics of it on the car (the the bottom of it )

Let me know what you think I should do...

Thanks

 

IM me the info of the seller...

 

I remember seeing that header for sale.

When he sent me pictures of the dent I knew it was worse than he described it.

 

tell the seller refound u the $$ .. that's a piece of junk!!!

Yeah I never got pics of it, I was specifically told that there was no dent, it was only a scratch. He said this several times, because I asked several times. I have it all saved.

not quite there buddy. While i am not the seller I have a header dented in the exact same place on both tubes. there isn't any noticeable difference in performance (both dyno and butt dyno). Just not big enough of a dent to hurt the car's engine performance IMHO.

Mike &lt;--who thinks the buyer should pay less money especially if it was advertised as not being dented!

 

Well the seller is giving me my money back, so I am happy now. I agreed to pay for it to be shipped back, I just want my money back so I can buy new this time!!!

As far as the dents maybe not being that bad, thats not really the point, its the fact that I wasn't made aware that it was damaged that ticked me off.

He made good for it now, so I'm just going to drop it.

Thanks for the advice, and thank you again to the mods on here for doing an awesome job!!! You guys deserve a big and a

 

glad I could help

 

jason helps all

even though hes just a florida we todd did policia dude

 

damn that sucks!!! to the ****** morons who sell **** like that!

 

Ya, dont even put it on. its not worth your effort. the stock header would probably flow better. IMO. I hate people that lie about stuff they are selling. Good luck.

oops just read your getting your money back thats cool.

 

gald u get ur money back!! i still think it will effects the flow of the header if it's dented..

 

Yeah I'm happy I got my money back Thanks to the AWESOME mods here!!! Only loos I took is that I'm paying to ship it back (which I said I would do if he would give me my money back)

Thanks for all your help everyone!!! I learned my lesson, and I am just going to buy a new header!!! Then its back to yack @ P1 Auto for some more tuning!!!

 

i'm glad to hear everything turned out ok

 

He should pay for you to ship it back to him too. You were no way responsible for his lies. Regulate!

 

Dent is not the same as scratch. Some ****'s say, "header for sale, has a dent but does NOT affect flow or performance".

 

What kinda header is that?

sorry to hear of someone not being honest about their stuff....

Some people will lie cheat and steal just to make a penny....

 

nice ending for both parties
