Tell me how much sense this makes...
Well i called Big Gun to see how much the end cap is... not the downspout endcap. The piece that i messed up in FL. The stainless steel screws broke off cause they were cross threaded....then i borke off an easy out in one of the screws... So i was looking at the endcap downspout, its $39.99.... so i was thinking the piece i needed was like 50-60$
Its only $15..... WTF..... i have wasted more of my time in that damn piece..... grrrrr..... To me that doesnt make sense... the damn spark arrestor is $19.99... and the huge piece of billet aluminum is only 15.... wtf..... So needless to say i will be ordering the endcap, spark arrestor, and the correct screws,plus extra ones...... Im going to try lock washers in all those screws.... instead of locktite.....

sounds like it would be cheaper to buy the BG in pieces

RE: Tell me how much sense this makes...
I can sympathize with the stuck fasteners, my stock headpipe, the middle bolt was stuck solid. Even with a 6" ratchet extension handle I could only get a half turn out of it before the head rounded off. So I slotted it with a dremel tool, another half turn, heated it with a torch, grabbed it with vise grips, nothing. I ended up cutting/drilling the head off to get the heatshield to put it on the 300 headpipe. Pretty sad for a pipe that had 1000 miles on it and had never had the bolts out before. The other 2 were practically loose.

I've just been picking on BG pipes too much lately..even got Jsac a little ticked-off, so it's time to cut-back.
