Don't get butthurt...


My comment comes from the irony of the name. If you're gonna hype a product in the American market, maybe use a name that isn't a homophone of a word that means fake, false, not genuine, not authentic or sincere in spite of appearance..



I'm on a budget too, so even though I drool at prices like these, IMHO it is worth it to get a quality part from a vendor in the forum... at least then you have someone to complain to when the shit hits the fan.

You really think the stock tune is designed for a catless header? It's only a matter of time before you throw one. Just remember this post when that light comes on (P0420) and enjoy running real rich and wasting gas. I'm sure its fantastic for the engine over a long period of time.

My JDL header says "told you so"

Not butthurt at all. I just viewed your comment as a blatant stab. I do agree. The name would work with a much more "Baller" company, but isn't really a good one for who they are. When I have an issue though, I go to the vendor I bought the item from. The way I see it, if they carry it, they represent it.

I kinda wish there was a storefront built into the forum. Something that was monitored a little bit more and required a little more proof of product than the stock photos eBay is fine with...

Just picked this up today. It's the UEL version of the Tsudo's header. Not a bad piece for the price. I paid $400. My first choice was the OFH since I got the OFT but the waiting list for one seem a bit too long for me. I haven't got it install yet but the quality looks par to the borla and ofh.

waiting for the welds to break after a rough winter in the NE. thats where the biggest difference is between the 300$ items and 1k items. welds and material...plus a lot of R&d. i'm sure these aren't exactly the best, and are just noise makers.


also, if you run a header, especially a catless one without a tune, and claim its better for the car and you have serious gains....anything you say will be discredited


then again, people that think this is a great quality part also think BC coilovers are a real suspension.


i'm sure these will be okay for a little while, but i just dont understand what makes you think a 300$ header is going ot be quality or okay from eBay.

The answer to your question is walmart... They make everything else cheaper why not my "Headers."

I've said my views on exhaust to many times on this forum to repeat it again.
