Wheeler Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Ok, so I just received my JCI headers.... not what I was hoping for, but maybe they are alright. What do you think, I've never really looked that closely at other headers? I am questioning two things, 1) the bend on the main tube, looks like Midas did it... 2) the bead of weld inside the flange restricts the header primarys ID to 1.410" and the exhaust ports on the engine are 1.540". What am I missing here? Are these OK or should I return them (if I can) and go with JTR headers, are JTR headers that much better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheeler Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 Update, I contacted John and he has given me a UPS account to send the headers back, he has been great to deal with. I'm not sure that he knew the quality of the headers, as they were dropped shipped form the manufacturer, who is slickfit - never heard of them... Anyways John's other parts that I received were great, and so far he has very fair. -Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZZeee Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Yes, John has a top-notch reputation and there's good reason for that. I'm sure he'll look into this siuation and remedy it ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
