Simple fix tho, just unfortunate that Serge went through the whole install to get stuck with this mixup. Well guess no install today

Serge, I sent you PM with shipment info.
thanks so much bro... its ok i will get it tomorrow haha and make some videos oh boy what a mix up this is epic hahaha

lol - My original headers from Mazurri didn't fit either cause of the AWD. So I had to abort install at first. But that was 40,000 miles ago so its way in the past. I was luck and didn't break anything.......not trying to brag.....
