XS headers
I think I am going to get some of these as well. If most headers are within a few HP of eachother why not get stainless...and nicely priced ones at that. Doesnt make sense to me to pass these up. I will not have any before and after dynos though.

I was wondering. What about the people like me that purchased these headers and had to get the DS header re-welded. It did cost me $90 to fix them. Are we just SOL?? Or can you do something for us on a TD set up???
Here's my theory on the ebay/XS/LPP headers ... I think they're being manufactured in China and a number of different distributors spec out their own versions and sell them in different venues and under different names. Ultimately, they all come from the same source. They are too similar to be otherwise. The ebay ones have the same cocked ds collector as the XS headers.
The last I heard, there was an end all be all header company that has now outsourced to another country....

You're the distributor ... and you know where they're NOT made, but you don't know where they ARE made? You "THINK" they're made in NC??? C'mon - quit playing games.
Im not anything. Thats my Dads deal. The only thing I do is wrench on his car and tune it. I didnt remember if it was North or South Carolina.. sorry. I know its one of them.

XS(not to be confused with import tuning shop XS-engineering), OBX, SS-autocra..er I mean chrome, are all made in China by sweat shop laborers.
Believe it or not, quality of the parts depends on the make of the vehicle. Typically, their manifolds for factory turbo cars have little to no problems, but turbo manifolds for Honda's(b18b, b16, b18c1..etc..etc..) have cracking problems if you do not brace the manifold. Even then, you still risk the manifold cracking.
I've never heard of LsX problems, though. Like I said, it depends on the application. With that said, my opinion of the LsX application is that it looks like a nice bang for the buck, especially for stainless. I know from experience that the Honda turbo manifolds are CRAP.
BTW, this has been common knowledge among all import guys since they came out with this stuff on eBay.
but hear me out, Im not trying to bash what you guys are selling, but they do make a sketchy product for most other applications. It seems that the Toyota/Nissan/GM stuff holds up really well, though.

i bought headers and y pipe from them and the quality is great, cannot beat the price, especially for being stainless steel. They are not the same headers on ebay for 21X.XX so dont get them confused, its not a hard concept, the guy isnt on ebay anymore, hes a sponsor, he has done everything to clear his name from any crap and people are still giving him crap, give the guy a break, LPP makes good headers. Remember no fitment is the same, even people that buy kooks have problems, just a known fact
I still say it's SSAutoChrome's headers and this guy, (Black2002WS6) is buying them and selling them for profit.
Here's the site for SSAutoChrome's Headers:

****, it's still 299.99, PM me if the link is taken down.
