Well, I think this board has let EVERYONE know about it. - Wow, it didn't really break, just pulled the tube ends right out of the pipe. hummm... I'd deffinetly be p.o'd but knowing me, I'd probably just stuff it back together and weld it. I'd be bitching to know end w/ Edelbrock though. They'd hear from me everyday.

later, justin

it will probly look identical.

except they reprogramed the machine that does the welds.

the problem wasnt the design, it was the welds.


id be intrested in plastic blasting the TQ arm and looking at the welds....

lol.....no




it looks like all they did was beef up the welding on the part that broke. for all i know they could have rewelded my own piece and powdercoated it. either way i'm really affraid to put it on the car.
