OBX customer service

All I want, is the info on the diameter of the primaries and collector port of the OBX 4-1 headers for the tiburon/elantra on ssautochrome.com (Clearly advertised in the october/november special). So I give them a call at their number, after a failed attempt at answering the question via email.
He proceeds to tell me that the 4-1 headers in fact do not exist (the headers on the special are clearly 4-1). He also proceeds to tell me that the only headers he does have, the 4-2-1, are only for the tiburon, and not the elantra!
I tell him its the same engine bay, same setup, and he tells me that if it doesn't fit, he won't do anything for me because "its just for the tiburon"
Telling him I have a tiburon just to shut him up, I move on, thinking perhaps this guys first two major fvckups can be alleviated by the relief of him telling me something I don't already know.
Upon questioning him again about the 4-1 headers, and telling him that they're listed on the website as a special, he tells me that "I know my product, I know what I'm selling."
Ok, if he knows what he's selling then he should be able to answer my question, "what is the collector port size of your headers?"
"It depends."
"What?"
"It's 2.5 or 2.25 or two inch, one or the other. "
"You mean you have different headers with different collector ports?"
"No, we only make one header, the 4-2-1."
"Fair enough."
*click* There's only so much human contact I can take in a given day, and that was pretty much the limit.
The point is, this guy is a fvcking moron, and will never get any of my damn business. Now, if anyone knows, can somebody PLEASE tell me the size of the collector port for the OBX 4-1 headers??

Peace
Peace
One of the local guys here bought some headers from ssautochrome. The outlet size is 2.25" and it is a 4-2-1 design. They claim that they are a direct bolt up, they are not, the flange they made is at a wrong angle and hits the oil pan. They may have corrected this already.

How long ago was this?
