patsy Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Has anyone used or heard of 'xs power' headers, with up pipe? Wondering if they're worth buying or worth steering clear of!!!!! Thanks Ryan

craigdmcd Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Ryan, if you are refering to the set I have for sale, then send a PM to Wilky. He has seen them in the metal, and actually had nothing but praise for a set of headers like this that he had on a car previously.

patsy Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 What id is the up pipe ? Is there any flexy in your set up ? Jac Yeah mate. Pictures show a flex joint at the up pipe! Thats what I'm not sure of. I've had an up pipe with flex joint before and it blew up and fecked my turbo!
jac Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Best getting a standard sti up pipe from a newage, then get ur headers ported and wrap the lot. Good for near 380bhp with early spool.

He has seen them in the metal, and actually had nothing but praise for a set of headers like this that he had on a car previously. I had an identical set on a car a number of years ago, they were fine and never gave an ounce of bother. They were well constructed and although I did have my doubts about the flexi joint it never gave any problems. I bought them at the time because I simply couldnt afford gucci fandango ones. Its just your donald duck, but FWIW they looked well made. I absolutley feckin hammered the life out of them before I needed a bottom end rebuild and I put them on the replacement engine which is still running with them to this very day somewhere in darkest Inverclyde. I put them on in 2004 Callum W
