Default Wrong Size Big City Thunders ordered.

After speaking with them I was told I needed part #2003. These are for me Samson Sidewinders. So I placed the order and got them friday night. I had some time before the Football started today so I went to do the install. I took one pipe off and after trying to get the old baffle out which didn't happen i realized the the BCT was too small anyway. I guess these will be going on Ebay cuz they don't accept returns. Im pretty bummed.

I ordered the wrong ones too but the guy filling the order caught my mistake and called me to correct it. I used them until I went with full exhaust. They worked well for me. They wont exchange them for you?

I'd call them back and ask to exchange them. When I bought mine from BC, they were very helpful and accommodating.

If they're the ones who gave you the wrong part number on the phone then it's their mistake (unless you gave them the wrong information). If it's their mistake they should not only exchange them but also cover the cost of return shipping.

From their site also..

DUE TO THE FACT THAT PIPES AND STYLES WILL VARY EVEN WITH THE SAME MANUFACTURER PLEASE BE SURE TO MEASURE THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE DIAMETER OF YOUR PIPES AS WELL AS THE OUTSIDE DIAMETER OF YOUR BAFFLE, PROVIDED YOU HAVE ONE, BEFORE CALLING OR E-MAILING; WE NEED THAT INFORMATION IN ORDER TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE CORRECT PRODUCT.
Questions? ask us at questions@bigcitythunder.com!


So I'd think U could replace them with a phone call....
