LMAO!!! Sounds like a great product. Cheap, doesnt fit, cant wait til the
welds started falling apart
threads start up. Thats why real headers cost more money. Research and development into fitment issues as well as quality. You get what you pay for. Buy a set from a sponsor and you dont have to cut them apart to get them to fit properly.

Ok I agree it wasnt very helpful. Maybe its me but I guess I would expect them to fit even if they are cheap.

they do fit... simple enough... they have problems just like every other sponsor has with their headers - fitment wise

No your wrong there. My Stainless Works slipped on like a glove and had absoluetly no fitment issues.

Thats the research part of it kicking in. They spent hours fitting them to the car and making sure they fit in all aspects. Its what real companies do.

The ebay knock off 's didnt do anything but copy someone else's work and then didnt do a good job at that.

im wrong?

do some research before you critize

QTP, Kooks, Pacesetters, (Your Stainless Works), etc. all have had post in the past of having problems with fitment issues. every car is different as every header may fit differently on each car.... some people just don't understand this (not saying only you)

by the way these headers are knock offs of the hooker super competition headers

Nutswingers to the rescue.

Theres a difference between every header fitting differently, and EVERY header having the collector attempting to blow a hole in your ***.
