Yeah, good point. A place that knowingly (or should know) they are selling poopy does not instill much confidence in me either.

I did attempt to install a dual exhaust set from them (client supplied) on a '40 a few years ago. It took a lot of effort to get the left - front pipe to fit.
I recall clearly thinking that after a zillion sets of these have been made and sold, one would tend to believe they would get it right.
Not so.

Not so.

I bought all the internal parts to rebuild my 8ba except for the valve train (and I should have bought those also) from Reds. Quality parts and a great guy to deal with and he knows his stuff as well. At the same time a buddy bought a set of headers for his '30 AV8 with a F1 box. Fit perfectly. I can only speak from my experience but I would buy form Reds or recommend him in an instance. Again, JMO.
