I just received my APN header to replace my cracked manifold. Upon opening, I discovered that it was "packed" with some token brown paper which still allowed it to slide around. Bottom line - cracked weld between 3 & 4 on the flange, damaged #1 tube & flange, and missing the donut & bolts. Just curious, are all their headers packed this way?

Sent an e-mail to INeedParts to resolve this. I'm not complaining, but rather interested to see how others received theirs...

 

Mine was poorly packed also but my welds were still fine I inspected mine thoroughly before I had it ceramic coated.

 

Here's the crack, small I know be it won't do....
