I've been looking at these. They are made XS power. Never heard of them. NOT GOING TO BUY! Tried to get some info from the guy w/ no help. They look good, from the pics, but like everyone else has said "you get what you pay for!"

Don't want to pay $1000 for some headers but looks like I will.

I don't see any bungs welded into those headers, probably would have to do some work to them to get them to match up.

Also they don't have a h-pipe to go with it even though they say they do.

Very interesting my friend!

And how would you rate fit/finish and installation? Did you do it youself? I'll be doing it myself is the reason asking.

read a few pages back in this thread bro. I took a bunch of pics, and did a quick writeup on the install. Best value out the imho for longtubes.

Johnny,
Thanks for all the info, pics & feedback. I've been looking at these myself for a while now myself, been on the fence, your feedback convinced me so I've bought a set myself. It is hard to justify 600-1400 for headers when these are out there. Should have mine on in about 3 wks, gotta get the tune, O2 extenders, find the time, etc.
I'll post my install after I get them on.
I'll have to see how loud they are with my Pypes mid-muffler setup, but I'm guessing I'll be re-installing my GTA's & factory over-axle pipes after they're on.

I am currently running straight pipes with these headers, and the h-pipe with the bullet mufflers for the "catted" look. All I have to say is HOLY **** it is RUDE!

I will be installing mufflers....when i am done scaring ricers....

Violation is an extreme understatement. I let one of my buddies drive it the other day and he was afraid to step on the gas. He just grannied it up the street and came back with eyes like dinner plates. all he could say was "****. that is a little much" lol...

Even I have a hard time with how crazy it sounds at the moment. But the look on the ricers faces when their fart can rev is returned by a fire breathing dragon is priceless!

If my garage was heated, I'd buy some tomorrow. You're definitely selling me, Faber, and I was pretty much sold on them when I saw them in person not too long ago.

Can you take some video/sound clips after you install the mufflers?

Also, is there a noticeable performance increase?

I consider power-to-noise ratio just as important as power-to-$$$ ratio, so I'm on the fence between this and saving up to go F.I. I already drive at near WOT 75% of the time, and people already honk at me thinking I'm too loud or trying to show off. I just like to drive and don't want to be harassed while doing it... </ramble> So, in conclusion, video please.

If I were buying LT's I definatly would not have bought any less proven qaulity than American racing, Borla (my sponsor), or JBA. They may be expensive but they have qaulity behind them, and a known door to knock on when something isnt right.

And that's why I never have a problem paying more. I'll go to supporting vendors even if they are more expensive because I know in the long wrong they will be there to correct any wrongs. I'm not made of money, but it's not all about $$$, piece of mind plays a huge factor for me.
