Thus, posting a picture like this in an informative thread makes it misleading not to mention the Chinese must be happy as $hit since one of these manufacturers NEVER posts a picture of their pipes because of this very reason.

This is the one of the problems I have with what I like to call "Wiki" vendors. They "Wiki" their information and post it like they know, sometimes getting it right, mostly not. The newbies buy into it like it is gospel because they are a vendor and because "If it is on the internet it must be true".

Now some of you search Ninja's might be able to figure out where this particular photo came from and the vendor I speak of in this instance but I am NOT mentioning names to protect the guilty. I did however notice that one of the Manufacturers did take exception to this photo, as they should, and were none too pleased.

Again, Names redacted to protect the guilty, He, he, he.

Yea, it is different because they are DIFFERENT SIZES!!!!!!!

As I look through this vendor's threads I notice similar answers to common questions. Never any technical answers to questions but regurgitations back to whatever the poster thinks is best for his/her choice/car. Way to make sales to the newbies and suck them in. I'm sorry but this just irks the $hit out of me.

Good vendors listen to their customers needs and ADVISE them on what is BEST for them. Just like I want a Nightfury cam but others have said it is not good for my Road Racing. What do the Lethal guys do, let me know that they can TAILOR it to my specific needs. YEA BEH BEH!!!!! Why, because they have the knowledge and the know how. THAT IS A GREAT VENDOR!!!!

I will not get off my Soap Box for the Evening.

preach on brother man!

I thought they had to bend them differently for clearance as well but I am no header expert. Although, I would not buy into that

mikeyg36 · 08-20-2013, 01:39 AM

Can I get the TL;DR on this header talk?

TBone · 08-20-2013, 01:43 AM

I almost want to make it a tag, "Anti Wiki Vendors".

Or, "Don't buy from 'Wiki' Vendors".

You may have to wait for one of the Cam experts to jump in Brother.

Some of the questions they will ask though is what are your goals with the car? Street, Strip, Road Course, Autocross? What other mods do you have?

More information is needed to answer your question.

Doesn't the NPP exhaust from a ZL1 fit an SS? Both are manual.

Yessir

CHMSC · 08-20-2013, 02:43 AM

I thought so. Just the automatics that are not going to fit a manual.

mikeyg36 · 08-20-2013, 02:47 AM

What headers are you going with Doug?
