Gunni had one bad thing about him said, but he is still one of the best out there for mapping which is all he does now along with supplying VEMS ecu's
I wouldn't be too harsh with him and my own personal experiences are all positive

Ladies and Gentleman. I give you Fritz Bitz exhaust manifold, this is how thin the metal of the headers were where the cracks are. Almost every cylinder had cracks in it.

This is how the ports looked like

I did not make any modifications to them, this is their work. when I brought them to shops to ask on price to get them fixed, and get a load of this ... Richard said I am trying to make profit and benefit financially !

I'm sure the sale of goods act, says differently.

Do not, under any circumstances, attempt any reworking of the manifold yourself, or let any third party do so.
Return the manifold to Fritz Bits, and ask for your money back.
If this produces no results, ask for your money back, plus reasonable expenses, accompanied by a solicitor's letter.

Is anyone on here aware that if you bend 304 stainless it changes the molecular structure of the material and becomes magnetic on the back of the bend? that would explain one point

Indeed, work hardening austenitic stainless changes it to a body centred cubic (martensite) and it thus becomes magnetic.
