Got my LG long tubes today but 1 is damaged
Got my LG long tubes today from Marryland speed. I got them to send of to there coater to get chrome dipped. They look great except for the 1 header that got dropped on the end and bent it outta round where the cats go. I sure hope a machine shop can fix this or im gonna pissed off.

I'd say start w. Maryl. Speed, and go from there. They sent it off for coating. They will know how and what to do.

Yes thanks i will phone Marryland speed tomorrow about this issue. They where package extremely well so honestly think myself it was the coater who dropped one then still coated but is very possible shipping did but i cant see it. What i mean by outta round is the part at the end where the cats hook got pushed in at the end in 2 spots. Its not really that bad but i paid $1800 to squeeze every last bit of HP outta these and that would be a restriction. http://i46.tinypic.com/16kl1z.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/do2ct5.jpg

If I recieved those it would hardly merit a mention in the day.

Probably won't even need to pop it out. Once you put the cats in and tighten it down they should bend to the right shape from the clamp. Super minor in my opinion.

this is bascally a criticism of a vendor who hasn't had a chance to deal with the problem and who may be completely blameless. Should wait on these threads until you hear back from the vendor and then post.

Well Marryland speed got a hold of me. They say its a 5 min quick fix and will cover the charge to fix it. I guess i gotta go to an exhaust shop tomorrow to get done. Thank god its not that bad just minor. I did tell them they should cover there ends of the pipe with foam so this doesnt happen to any future customers.

It wasnt a big deal at all. The guy at the muffler shop fixed it in like 10seconds. They got this cone that goers on the end and you tap with a rubber hammer and all fixed. Just like new again.
