has anyone bought these or knows if they are any good? The price is really good, I'm just worried that its one of those things that you get what you paid for. Anyways, if anyone knows anything about these let me know

thanks

I have those on my car.
But I paid a bit more than $100 for them.

A pain to install, as it`s so tight to actually remove the old headers and get these on.

Also, you have to move the original cat backwards so it`s located right under the shifter linkage, wich sucks. I`m trying to find a solution to this, as this limits how much I can lower my car.

cut about 6" off the actual headers at the end and it fits perfect
they are ment to go on a probe or an mx-6 which is a longer car but same engine

Do they compare to soemthing like Hot Shot or Bosal? It says that the unofficial dyno is 21 hp increase and 22 lbs of torque increase. Does that sound legitimate?

i can also vouch for SSautochrome. They fit well. I got them installed with the rest of my exhaust system, so I don't know how HARD they were to install, but they didnt' have any fitment issues. They sound and feel good, but i dont' really have much to compare to.

21hp is no were near what youd experience. If you put them on a k8, you might feel make a couple whp. Since the primarys are larger and meant for the 2.5L. Still a good bolt on mod, and when you wanna do an engine swap, you can just swap them over.

the first time i installed them i had leaky front and rear just a bit.. when i swapped over to ze they fit like a glove. its WAY easier to install if you lift engine.
