Machine shop did it and hit me for $50 with "took a long time to do" blah blah blah. Installed it today with metal gasket and copper silicone.

The exhaust leak go away?
With that extra 50 you spent you pretty close in price to a non "ebay" part.

Might be able to start it tomorrow. Meanwhile you can be damn sure that I held it up to the sun to make sure I see no light before I even put the gasket on ! It was flatter when I put it on my desk the day I got it.
Sooner or later I'll want to put a 3 1/2 inch exaust in like others. It was an invaluable lesson in "flattness" though because I really thought that the gasket would "heal" up just about anything. Valuable lesson for me in many ways.

sooooo your saying that if you spend $150 to surface a $30 part its ok, beucase you got one hell of a flat surface?
there becomes a point where paying for what you get is silly to say.
Just buy the one we make and save yourself the time....it has all the hardware and gaskets and we already did the machining on a part & made in the USA & it's cast stainless steel
Some parts are cheaper and easier to get when the are made China, but the elbow was a copy of ours, just go to the source sometimes, cheap is good until the trouble of it costs you more
PS
our elbow comes ABSOLUTELY flat and correct from the start!

Yes, Yes, and yes. Should have gotten the divorced complete unit, or gotten the suprasport unit, or thrown it on a belt sander. (not on a piece of marble LOL)
Shame on you the first time, shame on me if I ever go back.
You know I'll be pretty pissed if it leaks.
Now if someone is considering one of these "deals" they at least have some feedback on what my experience was. I'll tell you this though - No headers from ebay for me !! LOL
This POS better not leak.....

It only takes a few of these ebay experiences to teach you. For me it was the XTD clutch scam and the fake PTE injectors. Both were brought to light just after my purchase. I will no longer be using ebay for anything but stock parts. They can sometimes be found for the starting price on there.
Yeah exactly ! I wouldn't buy a clutch on Ebay because I can't help but notice the scammin' people have run into. I thought with the elbow "how can anyone mess this up" because it's a solid object with no moving parts.
It's easier for me to just not say anything about my mistakes or BS about how great of a deal it was etc. Rather just be straight up.
