> id like to know what the big deal is about them…i got me headers from them, and i did a physical side-by-side comparison to a more expensive and well-known brand, and they were very comparable. the welds on the SSautochrome ones wern’t as pretty, but they were all sealed and solid, and the tubes were fine and everything. the only complaint i had with them is they sent me the wrong bolts so i had to go out and buy my own, which cost me all of $5 for grade 8 hardware. id really like to know why people have such a problem with them? mine are fine so far, but perhaps time will tell?

the metal used is of very poor chinese quality, and the welds crack over a short period of time. the ceramic coating is garbage and changes color on almost a daily basis until it all burns off leaving you with some shitty looking manifold
