Would you return it if you were in my shoes or am i just splitting hairs? Or jsut not worry about it and get the exhaust shop to try and round the collector.
Thanks

Why do people think this RMF header is so good ? it's really not a very good design in any way.. super tight bends, many join welds (these arent smooth on the inside yo) and then the ground clearance is worse than any other 4-1's i've seen. just because it looks wild with pipes going everywhere doesnt mean it's good for power delivery.
FYi B-series ports are not round - they are kinda squared-off.. but those ports look like a blind-man was given a dremel for his birthday.
buy my Mugen 4-1 instead LOL.
I bought one for my civic ages ago it was excellent, made awesome power and the quality absolutely destroyed this one, which is why i went to buy another, but not from the same seller. Clearance was **** too:

toda producing more torque downlow and the rmf making more hp up top.
did you not look at the photos ? LMFAO.
if you want to rock fake shit and support pirates go for it.
-
Whats wrong with supporting these guys >?
LOL but seriously, the rep i had would bum rape that rep in terms of quality and welds
-
just disputed through paypal for the ENTIRE amount, fingers crossed
-
the good news is the seller has offered a full refund, the bad news is it will cost me over $160 to return it

Aharrr THOSE pirates are ok haha. Yeah that faker in the pics is what am talking about.
You can get quality replicas and often made by same manufacturer than the originals but i work in an industry where your intellectual property and designs are your bread and butter. You have to support the manufacturers that spend the r and d on these products or you make it less viable for these companies to exist.. we've all heard the rant before lol.. but from personal experience with fake or replica parts, you get what you pay for in terms of quality, fitment and function in general.
When i was broke, i would never have had any mods if it werent for fakes, but i learnt my lesson and in the long term, genuine parts pay for themselves but if you are just going to play with the car for a year or two, not much point investing big dollars in genuine parts.

If it were me, just get the collector rounded, clean the yellow shizz, and have the primaries ported a bit so they're better shaped, unless of course you actually want to start with a decent product in which case just buy the genuine and not a BS rep.

Get a 1ft length of 2.25" steam pipe & wack it in a vice.
Put the collector end over it & beat it back to shape with a wooden of teflon hammer.
Clean the yellow crap off with carby cleaner...
Use a oil stone to check the flannel is flat, & check the ports basically line up with the gasket.
Other than that, don't expect top shelf parts when you bought eBay crap.

Yeh, sorry to say, but when you buy replica, don't expect anything of any sort of quality... That looks rubbish...
