Default XS Headers arrived today!!! :D

headers arrived this morning!!!!

in the FS thread a bucn of ppl were asking questions about the headers and the brand so i thought id put these up here for everyone to see. soo far im pretty impressed with the quality of these headers especially for the price...

install should be around the end of this week (goddamn midterms and oh yea... tailgateing at the JETS game on sunday haha)


If theres one thing these guys know how to do its pack the headers tight lol.


$425 for a box of peanuts??????????????????


I dont think ive EVER seen more peanuts in my life....

I don't think the goldish color is all that bad, especially compared to some of the other SS headers that turn bluish and purple.

yea I was so excited when I received mine as well. and when I opened the box I couldn’t believe how well the headers were packaged. the y pipe and headers were all wrapped with padding separately, the whole box was fill with packing peanuts, and the look of them is just sick!

Also black2002ws6, who sells them on this site, is a top notch guy to deal with. with great customer service.

C'mon lets see a picture of those peanuts! Ahh, I remember that day too except I was really excited because I got mine for almost free! My headers turned purple near the inlets and about halfway down the primary they transition into the golden color then the collectors are darker brown, probably from the road slop that splashes on them.

You should put a bunch of those peanuts inside the headers and have a buddy crank the car while you are watching the headers for a wonderful celebration explosion of styrofoam peanuts.

That happened to me because I didn't get all the peanuts out like I thought I did.

It didn't smell good to say the least
