If you already have the engine and you agreed to a delivered price, which you paid then why pay the shipping bill? Just my .02!

First he orders the wrong headers (more expensive) and then wants me to pay for them. I decide i won't pay his high prices and i'll buy my own damn headers. he tells me he won't give me a warranty since he is not installing the headers. he quoted a 1 year warranty.

Otherwise, you eat it as it is your screw up, not the customers.
As for delivery time....3 months past promised date is B as in B and S as in S. Are you telling me a business that has been around awhile can't figure out how long it will take to build and ship what they do for a living?? It is their business, they should know it. Now, if there is a parts supply issue, then be honest with the customer, don't make chit up or not return calls. Tell them the TRUTH and works things out with them.
It is all about customer service. Remember, business would not exist if there were not customers for their product...
