I can't seem to get a response from the seller on e-bay about the headers. Anyone had any luck, I just asked him if the flanges were stainless as well?

I emailed them about 6 times asking him about the headers and never got a response. Even on his feedback many people say that the communication is horrible.

I find it interesting that there hasn't been anybody with these headers yet.....I'd be interested to see how hard these go in, and definately what issues may arise as a result. Hopefully the installation would go super smooth, as the materials seem top notch.

I should have everything for my install by wednesday if so I will start the install on wednesday and let everyone know with pics and detailed list of problems if any and what to look out for. I am hopeful that they fit great as they would be a complete waiste of money and time.

What I did was go in his feedback and eamil a few customers and ask them how the headers fit and finish. Since I have bought them I have had about 5-6 people ask me the same questions and I refer all of them to this thread and tell them to give me a few days and I will have all of their questions answered.

I wonder if this company xs power is the same as SSautochrome.

A couple of my buddies have dealt with SSautochrome in the past, and had some bad luck with there turbo stainless manifolds cracking on there import,and couple of my buddies had there turbo outlets , crack.

I went to the SS auto Chrome site and it doesn't look like they carry LS1 headers. And I "need" to know the fit and finish on the install of these headers !!

If they're all that great, then I'm selling my coated JetHots !!!

On the xs power website under contact info it lists their email as ***nonsponsor link removed**** or something like that. Thats proof enough for me. If my ta wasn't my daily I would consider these, but after reading about all the cracking and poor support I couldn't put these on my car and still feel like I can rely on it. I hope it works out well for those who already purchsed these, I will be saving for qtps though.

It looks like QTP won't even be building a new batch until mid May. Looks like I may be looking to Kooks if they have stock...
