Another craptacular TOG header

[zeebees]

TOG this is quality control have we met?

You shouldn't have to but I don't think the additional welds will cost that much to fix the gaps.

D: The same goes for the collector. As long as it is welded on the inside it doesn't matter much outside.
E: As far as the welds are concerned, they aren't that bad for a MIG weld.
F: Rust inside the primaries is not an issue. This is coated MILD steal not stainless. It is going to happen. If it were stainless, then you would be up here complaining about price and it would most likely be TIG welded and even more expensive yet.
G: Just bolt it on and have fun. If it leaks and/or doesn't perform then complain.

Food for thought:: don't be so critical specially if you really aren't familiar with common practices

Well put twincharged.

The header sits on the back of the engine where you can barely see it so who gives a shit what it looks like if it functions properly.

What comments do you have for the ones with warped flanges, incomplete welds, and mine (which is too short to even fit)?

Something tell me that Twincharged wouldn't be happy if he paid his money for these loads of horse crap either...

So you call a header that has half ass welds around the flange as one that functions properly? Please

No IF it functions properly than who cares what it looks like.

Of course those with warped flanges has a legitimate complaint and they won't seal properly.
