Walker Exhaust

O what a day it has been.
We have been working on the sons truck, trying to get everything in line.
As we are updating to EFI exhaust manifolds and I did my fair share of research.
I ordered up a walker exhaust from summit.
Got it pretty quick, looked good, no biggie deal. Did a test fit and noticed the end pipe was a bit long and pointed directly at the tranny cross member. Again, no biggie deal. We just shorted it.
After shorting it, that's when I found the true problem.......
They welded the second down pipe to the main pipe without cutting the hole first. Glad I caught it now, poor ol engine wouldn't have been able to breath if we had put it together that way.
Seeing that I found this after I cut, I really don't have a leg to stand on calling Summit about it.
Oh well, hand me a beer!

Holy! I would call them anyway. You cutting it had nothing to do with the serious manufacturing defect that was there.

I would call them, too. Tell them the truth, it's the best thing you can do and they'll appreciate it.

Agreed. That's inexcusable! Glad you caught it though, that would have been a disaster the first time you fired it up. Something would have had to give... (and none of the options are good).

It's the latest emissions-reduction technique.

I'll give them a call tomorrow.
Nice part is we are not in any hurry as we still need to take the head in to the machine shop.
