no worries dude, just wondering what the deal was/is.

 

Update: The flanges are nicely TIG welded, however they are not surfaced correctly. Looks like they were surfaced prior to the weld, but not after. As far as I know, A header flange should be perfectly flat, otherwise you can warp it. Maybe this was a manufactuer oversight, or maybe this is how they come, not sure. I have a call in with them, I will see what happens.
it.

Lastly, I am not all that hot on their collector design either, but it's probably just fine.

In closing, if the flanges were machined flat and the collectors the 3" I ordered I would be happy. I would recommend them at that point, I just have to see how that plays out.
of course, this is all just my opinion mixed in with a few years of experience.
enjoy the pics!

 

Hmmm,

 

this might answer my question,

look at the flanges of the stainless works headers for GMHTP magazine

 

Thanks for the pics man...too bad they haven't lived up to your expectations so far. Since Tex's statement was probably just a poke, I wonder what size collector would be best for my set-up...

Whoa, those magazine pics look alot cleaner!

 

Looks like they skipped a step with yours.

 

another thing of note, the ends of the GMHTP collectors are slightly beveled and deburred,........mine are just cut, all edges left alone

 

the more I look at GMHTP's headers from stainless works, the more unhappy I am becoming with the unfinished set they sent me, on top of the fact that they were not built to my spec as it is written on the invoice.

this IS a bad week

 

It's not a total loss - you're getting your locker in 2 days, and you still have lots of time before June 17th...

 

I guess they knew the ones going in a magazine had better look good. Sorry to hear trouble with them.
