    This is for guys who have ordered and installed a 2TR header from LCE.

    In what condition did you receive yours? I’m on my 2nd one and both seem to have flaws..(maybe that’s normal?) The 2nd one is not pictured but has similar cracks, as well as light scratches on the outer tubes and I am hesitant to install it. Will the gasket cover for the cracks?

    Now compare it to the Toyota manifold. I scratched mine just putting it on.

    Had a 2nd one shipped after the one pictured arrived looking like a reject or return. The 2nd one is in better shape but still has the cracks like the first and that is my question...Should I worry over those or just install it?

    You aren’t the first to have a quality control gripe, there’s a thread on the welding at the collector. LC enjoys a bit of protectionism because there aren’t many options- I’m sure they are aware this community expects longevity.
