ssac pipes real?? fake?? alternatives??

[Chinamandrift]

ok so ssac is not on ebay anymore .....but there a ton of these other companies sellin pipes........now ......the big question is.....are these pipes on ebay made by ssac ????.....or are they copies of ssac???

are there any alternatives to ssac?

are the alternatives good?? bad?? better then ssac?

reason why im askin .....is i thought 75-99 bucks for an equal length turbo manifold is kinda cheap .........such a good price.. it makes me doubt its quality

Hell, one company offers a 3 year warranty with their $99 header. That has to be worth something!

Ijm ruuning a SSAC manifold that I bought used off another member here for about a year now without problem. Others have had issues with cracking and leaking flanges.

I also have the ebay special SSAC FMIC. Fitment was good, just required slight modifications for bracketry and the hot pipe.

Overall im very pleased with both products. I was nervous while waiting for the parts to arrive as i've read some of the negative comments regarding their horrible customer service (non- existent).

how do i know if any of that stuff on ebay is ssac now .....they all got funky names

[r34 gtr]

Who cares who makes it, its all the same exact design and if one company offers a 3 year warranty...

3 years is only good if they are able to be held accountable.

I agree but just saying.

[r34 gtr]

I could take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed...

[Chinamandrift]

i agree with gabby................3 year warranty .......on a strange name company......u think that company will stick around wen we try to cash in on the warranty ???... but then again 99 bucks for a turbo mani ....its dirt cheap .....i guess i wouldnt mind buyin another if i break it........i would like for them to last atleast 1.5 to 2 years tho

out of all the ebay companies now ......who has ordered one of them $99 turbo mani ???? hows it workin for you ???

[r34 gtr]

So far as I know they all work pretty well. Its not that hard to weld a manifold out of pre-bent pipes, and manufacturing standards are pretty high these days.

[roplusbee]

True. I haven't many any issues with mine, except for the crap gasket that is comes with. But that was to be expected.

[Buddyworm]

Who cares who makes it? It's pipe and metal plates. Brace the pipes where they connect to the exhaust flange, brace the turbo inlet flange and you'll be gravy. If you're still using a T2* flange just stick with the stock manifold but if you're upgrading to something else you can't go wrong with a $99 manifold.

i was lookin on the xs power website ............ $165 shipped in the usa ...........thats actually not bad ......... plus they have warranty ........and we know they would be there if we need to cash in on the warranty
