Exclamation pictures of TOG gasket issues > read if you bought a header

when i first took of my manifold and tried to line up the holes form the stock gasket on the prototype header i've had for about 3-4 months now, i noticed that the stock gaskets would not work. so i called tog and told them about it. and the same issue is with the production headers. i wanted to post this before anyone breaks down their car that you need a different gasket.

the pictures are a bit large, but it's necessary to see the gaps. the gaps are at the bottom of the 2 & 3 primaries

The primary ports don't look like they match up right with the gasket either. The gaps suck, but that doesn't seem as big an issue as the primary ports not being the right size...

just remember one thing, when they charge back the company can charge again if you don't return the products...

Oh, they are MORE than welcome to have this POS back...

Not to mention, I don't have the same credit card that they charged, it's a new card, different number....

Those pics show the gap you're talking about very well. They also show me how much worse my header is than most (so it seems). My #2 and 3 primaries aren't even completely oval. Lovely.

Well that is 2 people that told them ahead of time and they still did nothing about it. If I made a product I sure as hell would think I would be able to see something that damn obvious.
