Why cant anyone make products that work anymore ?

I bought a set of 4-1 headers from a jackass on ebay.. his name is sschrome or something like that,Well he says stupid things like " are the headers upside down" and i tried very hard not to scream at him but eventually let go and went at him...

The damn things are rough as hell. Chrome means chrome., Not chroms spraypainted. I spent 4 hours last night cleaning the welds up wth a die grinder.

Then I tried to install them.. WOW. YOu have to remove the x member bc its a 1 piece design. OK thats fine. But then I went to put it back on today and the damn x member hits the headers! What does the dumbass have to say "did you put them on backwards" and then "Hondas dont need headers anyway" ..

Basically. Read EVERY feedback a seller has.. Even if there is 1 negative and the responce is something childish like "Yugos dont need headers" then AVOID the vendor completely.

I dont even know what im going to do with them but more then likey I will have to redesign them..

Enough ranting.. PIctures of the exhaust I made myself today..




Turndown from pep boys incase summit doesnt get it to me soon enough.. Clamped to angle away from the sound meter.



And the car standing nose up.. While I battle to get the x member into place!

 

I have run into this problem before...torch the cross member until it fits.

The only tools I use at work include a knife and a torch. That's all you need when you strip cars.
