If their headers fit and perform half as well as their service is, then I'll be impressed.
Sunday 3:29 AM - I PM Black2002WS6 telling him I want a set
Sunday 10:21 AM - I get a reply with price and PayPal info
Sunday 9:07 PM - I send payment
Monday 12:53 AM - I post about my purchase
Monday 1:17 AM - Black2002WS6 makes a post about the received payment
Wednesday morning - I get a phone call from dear old mum while I'm riding the train to school about a big box that arrived for me.

Cliff's notes: these guys are on the ball.

He was top notch with me too. I bought mine a while back thinking the price would go up. Now they have a new y pipe. I wonder how much better it is and how much it costs.

Any estimates on when the new headers and y-pipe come out? Before summer, summer, after summer?

The new ones will be the same size. No time line on the true duals yet. We are going to try and keep the price close to the same.

What are you changing for the new headers? Drivers side collector angle or is that already fixed?

I went back and forth for a while on whether to get these, but all of your customers seem to want you to father their children, so... j/k, but seriously your reviews have sold me.

So what are the changes, not sure if I should wait... not sure I can if I should.

Also what's the average wait for these to arrive after payment?

Yes we are changing the drivers side angle a little and also going with a different collector design.

Everybody has been receiving them in 3 to 4 days after payment received.

Default drivers side angle

What is the current problem with the driver's side angle? Does it restrict airflow a little bit? Fitment problems? Or It just simply looks ugly?

The last I heard, there was an end all be all header company that has now outsourced to another country....
You post that someone is wrong, then follow it up with a 'I think'? People like you give forums a bad name with your incorrect posts. If you don't think these are made in China like everything else he has you are seriously out of your mind. The guy on eBay with the eBay name SSautochome lives in NC. He doesn't physically make anything.

Well, there you have it. 1/6 - 1/4 of a YEAR for a simple revisement. Are these made in NC, or does it take that long for the sweat shop in China to reengineer the jig, then reproduce the product, then ship them on a boat to the US, for it to be approved, then for it to be mass produced again and shipped over the ocean back to SSAutochrome in NC, then to the "vendor" on here, then to your door? Put on your thinking cap.

Even then, you still risk the manifold cracking.
They use mild steel flanges and stainless steel piping to save money. Different metals expand at different rates. Turbo manifolds see extreme temperatures compared to NA, which is why you see the problems in turbo manifolds and not your LSX headers.

The fact that he's not on eBay anymore was not by his choice, it was by eBay BANNING him for being awful. Why would someone with over 40k feedback decide to stop his selling? Get real.

Thw whole funny part is he has been back on eBay using different names for months now. Look up the eBay name discountzoomparts, powerboost29, xs-power, and plazacomplex9197. Right click on the pictures in their auctions and note the .com they're hosted from. Go to the .com.

TA DA!!

It is worthy to note that other eBay names such as 98mkiv and juicyjems are this guy as well but you have to order to view the return receipt for proof on those.

So to tell me this guy isn't on eBay anymore and acting as a supplier on the forums to save his name is simply WRONG on your part. The "vendor" on this forum is a person just like you and I that made the effort to email "ssautochrome" (again, not a company, just an eBay name) asking for a deal on multiple headers if pushed on the forum for him. He laughs and the "vendor" on this forum makes profit (granted probably 1/5th) thinking he's awesome too. Win win I GUESS.

Wasn't there a guy on here selling eBay "too small" corsa clone exhaust tips acting as a "vendor". Same thing. I think he even admitted to making 5-10 dollars on each set of tips. He's gone now and the guy is still selling them on eBay. Chew on that.

Powerboost29 and SSAutoChrome are the EXACT same person with different eBay names. It is not a big deal to have different eBay names, I don't see why people in the forums cannot see past this.

SSAutochrome is a guy's eBay name. XS-Power is the SAME guy's eBay name. They are one in the same.


I can't quote anything else in this thread as I'd be quoting nearly EVERY post in this thread. Hopefully some of you guys with brains will figure it out. I can't possibly spoon feed you this stuff any better if I tried.
