> 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?

They don’t backpurge prior to welding, they just have monkeys grind off the contaminated back area, AKA those nice die grinder marks in the tubes have little to do with blending, and everything to do with fucking you. I can explain more, but all in all, they are complete shit, and i’ve repaired 5 sets, all with VERY extensive cracking.
