So, TTi says my Hookers are made wrong, are they full of crap?

I have 2.5"TTI on my duster with hp H340 manifolds and it bolted on with no issues at all.
I also have 2.5 TTI on my 68 Road Runner with manifolds and no issues there either.

My good friend put TTI on his 72 Runner about 3 or 4 years ago and had the same issue you appear to have. I believe his headers are Hooker, but I'm not sure.
on one side the pipe bend missed going on the header by more than 1/2".
He called TTI and told them the problem, they asked for the measurement and bent up a new adapter to fit and sent it to him.

At a few shows, I've spoken to different TTI reps at their vender tents.
Some have been friendly and very informative and a couple others couldn't care less to talk to me.
Maybe you got the jackass when you called.[-(

Actually, I kind of already know they're full of crap, but they blame the headers for the fact that their adapters to run their exhaust system don't fit.

Does anyone think this exit on the passenger side exhaust looks highly unusual?

The TTi piece 'S' curves over to go through the proper place in the crossmember, but is angled such that it totally hits the crossmember instead of passing through the opening. If I have the adapter cut, pipe rotated about 35* and welded back up I'm pretty sure it'll fit, it just seems like a helluva lot of "tolerance" for Hooker to be loose on.

If anyone's got hookers, or even better hookers and the TTi adapters for their system, I'd be curious to hear what you did.

Thanks
