when I order a taco supreme and get a regular taco i suck it up but think of what you paid for this and what you got. Get a new one for sure why play with leaks and crap just to have it on sooner.

I have taco brain. Ya no reason to live with mistakes on high dollar items. Get what you pay for. Jackson Racing is suposed to have a good name when it comes to quality. The Super for the ford focus by jackson racing made little power but was verry reliable and of good quality.

If you aren't also running an O2 simulator with this test pipe then you've triggered a code for the O2 sensor failure...no biggie...

Damn I'm bummed... I wanted to see what Sid thought of that JR header. I have been wondering for a while.

I driveby Moss almost everyday, or should I say "the devils den". Everytime I drive by I know that JR header is just sitting there behind the wall ready to go with a test pipe and all. All I have to do is walk in, talk to one of the devils friendly little helpers, drop some plastic devil cards, and I can walkout with whatever I want. Its really bad.... I hope I can make my mortgage payment this month... :p

1- Try to get a full refund and get an OBX header.
2- Screw it! Mill this beast!
3- Buy another one from Moss and return this one in its place. Then sell the returned header.


Thanks!

This is crap - Moss should take it back since it is unused and clearly defective - PERIOD. Moss has recourse w/ JR so its not like they have to eat it. They should provide you with a new header - PERIOD. Now what you choose to do with it - is your decision.

MOSS is a registered NAM vendor - you should let NAM Admin know about this vendor. I appreciate MOSS pays advertisement to NAM but is this the type of vendor NAM desires?
