can't install my HKS exhaust

for anyone who has this exhaust, Is the tip supposed to come in the smaller box?

so i finally got my HKS Hi-power exhaust yesterday. i was really excited at first. i opened up the box and took the 2 pipes out then took the small box out that was inside. the small box was a little dented up which kinda worried me cause i was expecting the Titanium tip to be in there. to my surprise there was no tip, only the instructions, hardware and a sticker. i then searched throughout the bigger box and still no tip.

here are some pics.












i ordered it from Sam(Lazi), and him and Eric at Driveline are trying to help me out the best they can. hopefully they will be able to get HKS to send me a new tip otherwise i'm out all the money i spent. i found a pic on here of what it will do without that tip.

When I pulled mine out to instal my friends made a joke about the tip not being in there.

Kind of funny it actually happened to you.

Yeah, I wouldn't run without the tip, perhaps just get something custom fab'd in the mean time? You just gave me an idea!...

Had you bought it from BHR and that happened, I would have forwarded you a new tip from my own inventory and dealt with HKS on my own. I had to do this with AutoMeter and it all worked out fine in the end for everybody.

Charles if we had another HKS in our inventory, we would have shipped another one out for our customer. but since we dont, we have contacted HKS for another new Tip for our customer.

Nuke, i've contacted already with HKS and just awaiting some info from them. we will get you a new tip asap!

I ordered my exhaust (just got it today) from Sam too and the tip is missing . Until I get the tip I am running the exhaust with the exhaust shroud removed so the exhaust does not burn the shroud. The exhaust sounds great.

i know this isn't a funny situation, but I would laugh my *** off if the box that you get is another exhaust without a tip.
