There is no such thing as a China header. china does not produce anything. there are companies that sell things on there.
thats point one, hopefully you are still fallowing me.
while there are many different ways/methodologies behind header design, we went with a simple equal length design. We then made sure they were made to our specifications of thickness, and quality of metal.
That said buying things of "China" is a crapshoot - some things a successful others less so. In most cases i use ebay to find companies worth dealing with (F1 Clutch for instance) and then deal directly with them.
we are offering a header that will fit, will last, and will make power. they will come with hardware, and they will include a PDF that details how to install them with a minimum of headache. Exact same as ebay so it will crack
All that said - if you continue to claim they are just "China" headers you are simply ignorant, or stupid.

I think I owe everyone a bit of an explanation. Anthony and I have been friends for quite some time and known each other even longer. when he brought me this idea I thought it was an excellent step forward. Everything I told you in this thread was told to me and I bought it. I was told a prototype was being made, to a specific standard, I was told it would not be a replica, but rather designed based on the original Stahl design. It would eventually have a single flange per cylinder group(1-3 & 4-6). I was told it would be T304 stainless, and that we would make it work on my car and then reproduce it overseas.
What I recieved was not what I expected, I still stand behind everything I said up to this point but in many ways I was let down, and by extension you were let down. Being a man of my word I did my best to bring you what I thought would be a new product. And there is a good chance that this product will in fact come to market, but it will not be through me. I will be returning everything I have collected for this and moving forward with my swap (anyone got a nice m50 for me?).
So my contribution to this thread is over, I am not sure when it will pop up again or under whose name, but i have been taken for a ride as much as you have. and for that I apologize.
Before I finish there are a few facts i would like to mention:
-the quality of the stainless is the same for production in the US and in China - a grade of metal is just that.
-The quality of a Chinese craftsmen's welds are just as good as yours Peerless, sorry to burst your bubble.
In many ways I am as if not more disappointed then the rest of you. Hopefully the mods can see it fit to lock this thread, but thats kind of up to them. As always I wish everyone the best in their endeavours.
Thanks,
Maksim
PS: I need to learn to weld at some point. Anyone wanna teach me?

I think its hilarious too, that you are posting no less than THREE completely different designs in an attempt to back peddle your stahl replica claim. Sorry, fail. The only similarity between them is that they are all considered long tube headers.

nice...
if anyone wants to make a set of these i have the starts of a set in my garage, i dont want to bent tubes or dent my body.
(i did already plane the flanges down though so you could just install them how they are and they should seal)Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

I love it. I was saying that it would be eBay crap since the first page on e30tech. If anybody chooses to buy this crap knowing that they could have bought eBay headers and white325is flanges and get them welded for less than you are offerring then they deserve to get burned.
I feel bad for the people with jacked up exhausts that were waiting on you to deliver a product that is a lie.
I know not everybody can afford nice headers, but you get what you pay for. I have done the crappy ones before and then decided to pay for a set of e30 m20 racing dynamics headers, got em coated and just need to install them.sigpic
