Metal shavings in intake

[PSUsouthpaw]

Got my accord intake in today, opened it, grabbed at the pipe and found dirt and grime in in interior of the pipe that connects to the TB. Metal shavings as well. WTF? Can't they clean out the F-ing product before they send it? Is it really that hard to clean the pipe after they machine them? What would've happened, if I'd have been a complete and total noob and just installed the pipe right away?! Metal shavings into my engine and my car likely f-ed up. Grrr, this just irks me so much.

Wait a second! I forgot! This is America, if something like that happens I can just sue, just like if I order a hot coffee from Mcdonalds and spill it on my lap I can make milions by claiming it made me impotent and its their fault for not warning me it was hot! Its not my fault, its never our fault!!! It's always the other person! I'll just sue EBAY!

(damn that felt good. Yeah the second part is a little off topic from the first paragraph but I felt it related in a minor way. If I hadn't checked the pipe before installing it, there would have been damage, and odds are at some point the topic of "sue the store" would've come up. And I just think its absurd to blame everyone else for our own mistakes.)

why dont you talk to the seller about it.. they might exchange it or give you a refund. that is how ebay works.. its not a "sold as is" type deal unless you purchased it use, in which case it wouldn't matter if you sue anybody.

I cleaned the tubing out last night before I finally went to bed (way later than I should have) It just took a couple of brushes, some water and a bunch of rags. I was just a little bit irritated.

I would call the company about exchanging it, except it was only a minor inconvenience that irked me more than anything else. I juat want to get my intake installed before I leave for Florida tonight.
