JAC, I'm back in town so I will give my final response to this matter. I would like you to tell me what I have not helped you with. The headers and sidepipes are an issue that I was trying to address in the 1 day you gave me before posting. I answered your e-mail the day I received it. I asked you specific questions for a reason. There are several factors that will effect the alignment of the sidepipes. If you think about the effect that 1 or 2 degrees variation at the header will change at the rear of the pipe to a much larger degree then maybe you can see the other factors involved. If the motor mounts are not the ones we recommend that can change the header angle. If you have the trans mount a slight amount to the left or right that will change the angle. I asked you the question about motor mounts and your reply was basically don't ask me such stupid questions, I know what I'm doing. Well I don't know what you are doing. Isn't it fair that before I send out over $1000 worth of parts without receiving the old ones first that I have the opportunity to resolve the problem and not just take your word for it. We are a small company and I can't afford to do business that way. I have done everything I can to help you and never refused to give you anything you asked for.

If you want a Flaming River rack send me the one you have and I'll exchange it. I will also point out that in your contract you will find a line that states I can change specs or prices when necessary. That's not unreasonable, if something isn't available when I need it I sometimes substitute. Normally it costs me more money to do that because I don't have wholesale buying at all places. I sometimes buy from Jegs or Summit. The side louvers are bought at either Finishline or Shell Valley. I don't make them. I'm sorry their quality isn't up to you specs.

I have sold hundreds of racks both Flaming River and other brands. Why are you the only one that has a problem? I think you are trying to find problems because your mindset is telling you everything we provide is wrong.

So stay on your soapbox and keep badmouthing us or give me a call to resolve this.

Don
