Guys, just to clear things up, I didn't want a thread about China Vs USA metal. This thread went about as far South as what I feared it would.
My reason for the thread to begin with is to ask for solutions for ANY BRAND of header that hits the steering shaft. I posted several links showing that yes even the more expensive brands occasionally have fitment issues and then I also said that IMO that the majority of these problems were probably from how the motors are slightly sitting to 1 side on the motor mounts by 1/16 of an inch.
I personally would like to see some investigating in this area, instead if it always being the headers fault.
I have nothing bad to say about any of the top cost headers. They have great workmanship. And if you bought these brands and had no problems, then that is exactly what I like to hear. Happy for all of you that had hassle free installs. But when someone does have an issue, that is not the time to chime in and smart off things like "Did your Chinese header idea backfire in or on your face!" Bc all that shows is disrespect to the OP that just wanted help. Which is also why I flew back into him saying that I'm sure he wouldn't walk up to me at the track in person and Smart off that same comment!
First off I was told my headers were NOT made in China. Honestly I didn't care either way, just like all if you that have bought Stainless Power or Pacesetter, or JBA, or TSP or OBX also didn't care that they weren't made in the US.
I bought these headers Bc that's what I WANTED. They looked good, they weren't OBX so they weren't a supposedly stolen design. And they were a good deal that besides having a small dent in them, were otherwise fine. Will they last forever?? Idk, ill cross that bridge when I get there. But those are my worries, nobody else's.
I don't see the point in all this arguing. I don't jump on every high priced header thread spouting off at how bad they got shafted on the price. Bc it's none of my business as to how someone else spends their money. I do know that if I'm at the track, and a guy asks me for help, I try to help! I don't ask him his brands, his political stance, etc...
That's what this forum should be. Helping out! Not bashing.
If someone asks my experience with Top Speed headers I will tell them the truth. I have nothing to hide. Is there a possibility you might have to dimple 1 tube? Yep! But at 1/3 the price, that is up to you to decide.
