Took off the driver's side head pipe today to wrap it with the 2" heat cloth and looked inside and found a piece of slag from welding in the O2 sensor fitting hanging down like snot on the inside of the pipe. After around 20 minutes with a grinding stone it was no more. Don't know if it will help performance, but couldn't re-assemble the pipe knowing it was there. Now to wrap both head pipes and spray them down with the silicon sealer.

Bad Craftmanship. Even if it did not hurt performance.

good catch! I never thought to look at mine when i had them off….I doubt it really hindered anything since the O2 sensor sticks down past that…..

I don't think they ever go thru Canada…..I remember reading somewhere someone said their dealer told them the truck was stuck at the Mexican border at customs and would be there in 2-3 days….

Actually they do come directly from Mexico but I believe they have a distribution plant in Texas. Which is where they get shipped to the dealers from

Only problem with that theory is Amercian labor cost ALOT more than Mexican labor.
They most likely have American supervision with local Mexican labor for the assembly
