Fpadt headers do not fit!!!
Well after 4 ****ing hours of tinkering around, the v-bands are off by a half inch. Very very upset with fpadt and their customer service. You can't even call them anymore!! Now my fpadt supercharger kit will be here wednesday, what should I expect with that?? Who has some quality headers in stock that can get shipped out tomorrow ASAP??? These are going back!

I don't see that as bashing. There have been numerous post about fitment issues with those headers over the last few months. It would think they need to come on here and address the issues, especially if they aren't answering the phones. If they have an intermittent quality issue then they need to address that. If it's a design issue, that's a bigger problem. Hopefully they will get it sorted out.

I believe I warned you about the company in mention but was not taken seriously apparently because I guess im not a trusted source!

I have basically been told that if I do anything else to "bash" the vendor I will receive a permanent vacation, so form your opinion from others posts.
ARH Headers with a ECS Blower System would be a good way to resolve your current issue.

I have their headers on my C7 and I'm pleased with the sound and performance. Oh, and they fit and do not leak. A week from now I'll tell you my personal observations of their supercharger kit.

Hopefully you are correct and I just have received some bad information. They were very active over the past couple months but I have seen very little to no posting from them recently here. Hopefully they will will chime into this thread and get this issue resolved for our fellow forum members. I have experienced the same issue though. I call countless times, day after day and receive nothing but voicemail and never a return call.
