This. Seriously. There are top dollar parts for tons of cars out there that you have to cut, re-weld, re mount, re-engineer. And same goes for cheap stuff.

The fact that the pipes fit consistently for everyone, the important part. And don't require cutting and re welding, and aren't horrible to fit, is what makes this a killer deal.

You have to buy a new screw? And a few clamps? Yeah if that's a deal breaker, don't DIY anything. Talk about being useless lmao.

"Poor customer service"

Gives great working product at a killer price. Isn't ripping anyone off. Product works.

Sounds like good customer service to me.

304 Stainless 1-7/8” Headers and X-Pipe....$489!?!?!



I just finished removing driver side luckily it came off real easy without removing lower brace... this is the area I have pinpointed to rub on the steering shaft.

This is the second primary from the front on drivers side




10 inches down from the flange 10-11inches is the affected area.

Requires a little...

Sold the headers and mid pipes to another member with a detailed description of the issues.

Overall you get what you pay for fitment issues with the steering shaft and the 3inch mid pipes (they hit the undercarriage in some points).

If your willing to mod these headers to fit your good to go but I think since they need to be modified they should be sold at a reduced rate until the proper corrections are made on the next batch.

Price can’t be beat but are the headaches really worth it? Not in my opinion

The price is reduced, compared to every other header on the market.

They are priced cheaper than other headers on the market, they also don’t fit properly and have acknowledged the fact that they are going to have to make adjustments on the next batch of headers! So meanwhile they sell these at full price (they’re set price) and we have to modify them to fit by banging them with a hammer and damaging them. Most manufacturers will consider this a defect and will offer an extra incentive to move the inventory so they can make the necessary corrections...

Love it how new accounts become white knights lol

I think we have to agree to disagree.

Also how is he a white knight? Pretty immature comment.
