Header fitment rant, Doug's

MOA said
Just got the 3rd header, tried it, it's worse fit than the 2nd one that I sent back. Big gap between #3 tube and pan, right on top of starter connection.. If they all fit in the same place and had the same problem, fine, something is wrong with my set up. That's not what happened.

I'm not going disparage Doug's, the rep I worked with did everything he could.

Nothing further to add here. Except that this had held up my car being finished and I'm extremely pissed. A TTI drivers side would cost me $400. I checked. My patience with this is over, no longer give a ****.

I'm not sure why your #3 tube would interfere with your starter connection. Shouldn't even be close. You are using a mini starter, correct? Dougs instructions state that you must use a mini starter. I would never buy coated headers. IMO, It's best to buy them uncoated, fit them to the car, modify if necessary and then send them out to be coated. I bought mine in bare steel and shot them with VHT. Here are pics of the starter when the engine was on my run stand.
