lmao...well, cats out of the bag now. I was going to just tell sam that i was sending it back, or atleast the messed up pieces. I talk to some forum members and I seen a thread on here about a GTM stage 2 TT kit install by Z1 and it looks absolutly nothing like mine. In the thread the pipes were all packed with bubble wrap and the intercooler was also wrapped, mine came bare in a box I told sam about the piping being dented in at the connecting points and then I went back and was very thorough about my inspection and was when I noticed how bad everything really was. next day I had a couple ppl look at it in person (including chii) and all had the same response as chii. I'm not going to say anymore, i'd rather not create an arguement, but I wil return it or just what is messed up.
