US Headers & Exhausts NA

[plohl]

^ It's more likely because when they market them as an equal length set of headers, THEY ACTUALLY ARE EQUAL LENGTH!

[markwid]

[Odd]

Agreed. Looks like a dog's breakfast, those unequal length runners.

If this is "tuned", it is done badly. I can't think of a good reason to deviate from what is tried and tested design for equal lengths.

For example, Xforce 4-2-1 design below showing how curls are used to achieve equal lengths.

The welding looks very average to me. The whole thing looks like a nightmare. If it's too cheap then that's what it will be. If it does not fit bad luck. Detergent meths vodka Yeah that will make the difference.

That's a very nice set of extractors....if the work half as well as they look they'd be brilliant

Funny how you guys are comfortable with X Force. They're also made in China. Probably the locals selling them makes you feel at ease.

There are several issues....

The design looks right (see plohl's comment)
It looks very well made(minimal pieces, clean welds)
and Yes....being sold by a local company there is back up

A little story....I've been to China several times to buy building materials
We were looking for an Aluminium panel (alucabond type material)
A company we approached had a 6mm thick product that meet all the specifications....and was well priced
they also offered a 4mm thick option....when asked for the specification....they said
"No specification for this product....but cheaper"

China can produce very good products and materials....for a very competitive price
but if you want really really cheap, they can do that too....
It's up to the buyer to sort out what is value....verses what is cheap rubbish
China is prepared to provide what the market is prepared to pay for
you want cheap and nasty....they will provide
but....they can also do it well....but not for nothing

GOOD LUCK!

Dupain, you definitely score points for originality!
We've all come so far with this thread. Look forward to seeing pics of the fitted product.

This thread of LOL just keeps getting better and better.

[sailaholic]

Now they are copying Russian work!

Should be even noisier then a Collins class and just as relevant to your exhaust!

Fluid dynamic wizards the Chinese. Check what they've done now ...

They have done nothing. Hence the wording like "working on", "reportedly", "theoretically".

Good try Da Plane. But it really just reads as a university trying to get some headlines.

Shouldn't you be at the exhaust shop anywhay getting your fluid dynamically proven headers installed? Not trying to converse with stoopid Australians?

I just love the assumption that every Chinese person and company all possess the exact same knowledge and skills.

I've never been to China, so perhaps I was wrong in assuming it was full of people much like every other nation, perhaps the Chinese are some form of amorphous blob that hold the collective knowledge of the entire nation?

Surely China is a land where every person is identical, where there are no stupid people, where there are no lazy people, where there are no unskilled people.
Surely if one organisation can design a fast submarine then so can a small exhaust manufacturing firm!

[plohl]

I feel like china is coping too much slack for dupain's ignorance and arrogance. I like to think it's just ignorance and not stupidity. At least you can educate ignorance. You can't fix stupid.

Pics???

Old timers are unfortunately slow ...

Mustn't be Chinese then this old timer?

[manga_blue]

Probably spending his (i.e. your) time grinding and filing off all the dodgy welds on the flange.

[Regie]

And here Dupain is criticising us about not doing any of our own work.

You can't install headers yourself
You can't put together a steering wheel - Im half temped to purchase one, put it together then claim that case of beer off you
You spent the day putting in 4 screws to assemble you intake (wonder if its genuine)

[speed]

Dupain,
I don't understand why you wouldn't pay the $200 to get your current extractors fixed. Instead you have spent 400 on shiny curly crap and possibly further $ making it fit.
You can polish a turd all you like, it will still be a turd

And there I was thinking that performance extractors were to give your engine more performance. How do I know that they are crap? Simple, I have eyes in my head and I'm often not swayed by marketing propaganda.
