Good point... putting tuning parts on a car that isn't working right to begin with isn't going to help.. that's for sure

Have you done an alignement check on the motor?

Maybe the reason why the headers don't fit!

Are these "Cut 'n' Shuts" as we call them, not illegal?

Thats why i said the headers looked very nice but they did not fit right!
Well for starters you bought a Turbo from the hacks at Wicked so you probably got screwed again....

Secondly I hope it works out for you regardless b/c I don't like to see anyone get screwed....

and lastly you mention fitment.....well man of all the auctions on the wicked cars I have seen nothing fits right to begin with!

6SPEEDERS,

I've inspected some of the parts sold by MAXSPEED-MOTORSPORTS. The truth is that the actual welds are some of the best that I have seen and the gauge of tubing and flanges are the same or better than some of the competition.

The issue is that they mainly sell on ebay(not a very good place to stake your reputation) and the pricing is too good to be true (actually a very good deal). If they could some how mainstream their operations and sell through a reputable retailer, they could compete.

Now the main issue and this is for "BILLYSTANG",
It sounds like Maxspeed has admitted to shipping the wrong headers, but announcing on this board that they sell sub-par products without allowing them the chance to correct the issue is flat wrong. So get the right parts and then report the quality/ performance results. Remember that someone that announces that they actually bought a Wicked salvage, should not be "throwing stones" and discussing poor quality!

Stevo,

At one point while reading this thread that actually crossed my mind. It could be anything back there!(surbaru, 914, boxster, small block, buick v6, rotary!)
