Ebay Turbo Header Trouble

Here is a video showing the warped turbo flange. The cylinder head flange is dead straight though. Anyone else see this? The ebay sell wants me to fork out $36 to ship the manifold back to get a replacement. Should I just have this machined flat local?




My PNT intake manifold came in today. I'm very impressed by the build quality. The only negative I see is the plenum casting is a bit wavy so the polished finish doesn't look the greatest. I will likely have it powder coated or paint it with wrinkle finish. The runners have a nice tapered shape just like the factory veilside intake. The throttle body flange is very nicely machined. There is no casting flash or debris that I can find that would need to be cleaned up. All flanges are flat with good surface finish for gasket sealing.
