Either that or a disgruntled employee over at UPS smashed it over the head of another employee!

Scorp,
I would not use that!
When I got my Hookers I was told they were unavailable because there was some manufacturing problem with the Y-pipe and it did not fit right. I had a MAD SS Y-pipe cut and welded with a set of collectors and O2 bung. Worked great. No problems getting the starter in or out.
That looks like it would restrict the flow pretty bad! :nono:

Your long tubes should go PAST the starter. It may be a clearancing issue for your tranny, but there's only one way to find out. Put it on!

Mine is not crimped like that, but I did have to have it cut and refitted to work. I got one before they realized the tooling was off.
