The rant is that someone paid a significant amount of money from a business and expected, when the package arrived, that he would have had the parts necessary to complete the install of what he purchased. That is a perfectly reasonable expectation.
It was equally reasonable when I bought mine, that I would not have had the tube being chewed away due to fitment issues - and in stock form for the '15's, due to the egr hose routing, there were fitment issues that could not be overcome with simple adjustments. So, I too said something.
In my case, Mike got me squared away with a new tube. In the OP's case, he used the stock clamp and Mike acknowledged there were parts-packing issues and offered to get him a clamp pronto.
This in no way makes Mike a poor / unscrupulous business man nor does it make the OP "stupid." There is absolutely nothing wrong with complaining and with Mike fixing things quickly, it shows why he carries so much respect in the community.
Frankly, that leaves the real "fail" exactly where it is most deserved.....
I'll catch hell for this Jon, watch. lol
