I don't want to knock your products because I think what you do for this community of enthusiasts is pretty cool. But I have a few issues with a couple of the items I've purchased from you. The oil drain doesn't even come close to mating up with the fitting in the side of the block. The angle is completely off and with the line being made of the stiff nylon and stainless that its made from theres no way I'm comfortable bending it to try to make it fit. Not only is the angle off but it seems that the line is about a half inch too long. Now I know you said it doesn't work with after market manifolds but this car has the stock T3 manifold. I will find a way to make it work I'm sure but wanted to voice my frustration about this because this is currently the only thing holding up me finishing this car for my customer.
Also wanted to point out that the welds on the 3" O2 housing could be better than what was on the piece I received. I found holes and cracks in the welds all the way around where the pipe is welded to the housing. I had to weld my own second pass over the whole thing to ensure I closed all of the cracks and holes up.
On a better note the down pipe is an amazing fit, perfect contour for the firewall.

Look on our forum in the first thread of the faq section at the install pics and pdf file on how to install the line, it will explain what is going on. Install info: stinger-performance.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=faq&action=display&thread=131I can't comment on the T3 elbow without pics or taking a look at it myself. Obviously that's not how we intend for them to go out and we haven't had holes or cracks in the welds before.

I got the oil drain hooked up at 3AM this morning, after 4 straight hours of fighting it. There's no doubt in my mind that it will either leak oil or not drain fast enough to keep the seals in the turbo from being over ran. I cannot tighten the fitting that attaches to the turbo all the way up because the elbow is roostered (haha auto correct apparently doesnt like work c ocked) to the side a little and is binding the fitting up. I really hope it doesnt leak but I have my doubts. Its just that 1/4-1/2" too long.

Got pics of the install? This line fits flawlessly when installed as outlined in our install document. If you post pics I'll take a look at what is different.

Thanks. Try to make sure they are in focus and from multiple angles. I know it's difficult to get good pics in that location but obviously the better the pics, the better info I can provide.
