Great peoduct

Received this and it installed great. It works as advertised and better than stock. The bad part is paid for overnight shipping and Received it one day later than paid for and when I received it the package was damaged and the bolt was about to fall out. It looked like someone had either opened it or intentionally damaged it. Fedex back to doing their anti 2a stuff maybe?
