Little Disappointed
I recently purchased the 4 tip B&B Bullets and was a little disappointed in the quality of the inner exhaust outlets. Looking through the S/S tip you could see the fabricator did a lousy job cutting through the side pipe. It almost looks like he hacked it out with a hacksaw. The opening is very small and when it was cut he just bent it out of the way and now it is impending the exhaust flow going to the inner two exhaust tips. It is very difficult to get inside the pipe to do any serious cutting to enlarge this opening to what it should be. Also, there was no deburring whatsoever on the welding inside the pipes near each flange. Has anybody esle experienced this poor workmanship and is there a way to fix? :nonod:

I would try and get your money back. I'm sure the vendor you bought them from will either give you the money back or exchange them...Good Luck

If they are not the quality you expect, send them back. Why settle when you pay that much money?
