Anyone here ever deal with Kwik_bay? (ebay dealer)

I'm having a bit of an issue here. I bought a reducer sleeve (meant to fill the space between the muffler and header) that he said fit all year Savages. Of course when I try to install it's too small and won't even fit over the very end of the header. The gasket was removed.
Is there something here i'm missing? To me it's obvious that not all headers exit at the same 1.5" diamete (as he claims).
I have a 1986 LS650G

If I remember correctly this Kwik_bay character also goes by flightsim, and various other aliases. He has a habit of taking ideas from this site and selling them on e-bay.
We have been avoiding him and pretty much boycotting him. If it's not the same guy then I appologize.

I assume you are trying to put on a harley muffler with a 1-3/4" inlet.
I bought a sheet of .010 aluminum at home despot and cut out a ring from that about 1" wide, it was a perfect fit although there is a tiny leak, but not noticeable. If I ever have it off, I will cut a new piece and make "V" notches in it to (hopefully) seal it up better.

Thanks guys.
I bought a MAC exhaust from DennisKirk.com a while ago that they SWORE was the correct part but even with a gasket on has a much large inlet that was significantly larger than the header outlet causing a lot of extra metal to bind up and bend when an exhaust clamp was tightened down around it. Needless to say this caused some significant leaks. I was trying to get a solid gasket (sleeve) to fill in the space and retighten the clamp. So I bought a sleeve from Kwik_bay to go around the stock header and take up some space for the muffler to clamp around.
The auction where I bought it:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=022&sspagename=ST...
states that it is "For any year Suzuki Savage LS650 or Boulevard S40."
I have argued that it will not fit and questioning if there is a larger size. He said no, sent me a couple replies that were completely irrelevent, and finally told me that it will work.
No he said "I currently own 2 Savages, a 86 and a 96. I have owned 8 sofar and sold over 50 of these sleeves with NO problems. In fact both my 86 and 96 have this very adapter ..."
He said that he would refund my money if I sent it back but i'm waiting to get confirmation that he will return shipping costs, which were $6.80 for a little steel ring!

Look at his Ebay rating. NEVER buy anything from a seller with a rating lower than 99%, and NEVER use anything other than PayPal tied to a credit (NOT DEBIT) card. At least then you have some recourse through PayPal and possibly your credit card. Always look at the seller's feedback comments first. Kwikbay had 17 complaints in 1 year and all were about shoddy parts and poor service. Never buy from a seller like that.

He also has a link to this forum on his ME page.
IMO, the $10 isn't going to be worth the stress you go through dealing with this douchemaster. Toss is and leave appropriate feedback. JMO.
Heh...I wonder if he'll remove the link to this forum, now that we are all calling him a douchebag! If not, his (would-be) customers will sure get an eyeful.

I had the same problem trying to adapt a 1 3/4 muffler to the stock headpipe. I dont know the exact size. It is metric. A little bit smaller than 1 5/8. If you buy this reducer set
http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/ItemBrowse/c-10111/s-10101/p-100000147179/...
it will adapt a 1 3/4 pipe to the savage but you will also have to use Permatex Ultra Copper High temp RTV Silicone to seal it and prevent leaks. Let the silicone dry overnight before starting engine
