ssautochrome doesn't exactly have the best reputation for quality products. I recall them selling cheap chinese turbos on ebay that everyone said were blowing up. Has something changed that I'm not aware of?

Please do headers for an s13 s14.... Please!!! You'd have several buyers here I'm sure. $900 mazworx headers are the reason most guys who've done it make there own.

nothing has changed.

Theyre turbos still explode, theyre turbo manifolds and even headers crack in pipes or at flanges. And the arms dont even get me started two words death trap.

Remember people you get what you pay for.

FWIW, a proper set of headers will cost you between 400 and 500 in materials. Add in consumables like welding gas and wire, your time, and the Maz headers become very attractive.

I also believe "most" people who have done this swap used the Maz headers. There are probable 10-20 (at a minimum) more VH 240's running around than the ones on this forum, all using Mazworx stuff.

SOOOOOO true, you get what you pay for. Stuff like this you realy wont get away with it going cheap. This is something that if done properly (which i guess it is) will cost a fair bit. Pay a good price now and have fun with for many years later. If you go cheap it may crack/warp and you will have a nightmare with it then you will pay again when buying good quality. So you end up paying twice.

Regardless of your warnings for quality. It would still be better to have another ready made option to choose from. I don't see how bashing their previous products helps at all. Not only does it discourage competition (bad economics) but it leaves you with 2 options buy mazworx or make it yourself. I personally disagree heavily with the idea that one will pay 500 for materials and consumables for headers. I personally know that I could buy enough tubing to make 2 full exhausts for that. Not everyones experience I'm sure but I can do better.

Anyway before I get back to the whole reason why bashing a potential supplier is bad let me just say this. Regardless of quality or price more competition equals a better product at the lowest possible price for the consumer.

At last read there were still 3 people who weren't appalled at the idea of ssautochrome headers for a vh and all of us seem to perfer it be offered for swaps. Do I still need to send someone and email? Or does this post pretty much say it.

Built it any they will come

Also I use to be a big advocate against ssautochrome as having seen their turbos explode and their manifolds crack years ago. As of now I know a few hard heads who wouldn't listen to the warnings and bought the kits. Still a few issues with the turbos but not all of them and not one failed manifold. Manifold construction has improved maybe not top notch $1500 full-race manifold but nice none the less. Who are we to suggest someone shouldn't make something (Government), its there decision just as its your choice to buy or not.

if you want headers for a vh in an s chassis go with mazworx for the win!!!! i can vouch for them, so can jerry (gs14racer) and superhatch, so if you want a nice set of headers get the maz ones!!!

do it right the first time or don't do it at all, thats the motto i live by! and if you cant afford the products then save money, economics blah blah blah, go ahead buy the ss auto chrome but those guys need the criticism so that maybe they can go back to the drawing board and build a better product! food for thought!

I agree competition is essential. But quality is extremely important is all i was saying. Anybody you wants to put there hand up and have a go i say go for it. (As long as its not made in China)

Competition really isnt necessary in VH land.. Even if this company made a good product theyd probably only sell about 4 sets...

How many sets of headers do you think mazworx sold? probably less than 10..

I dont want the VH stuff to be like all other nissan stuff where you have to be so careful not to get cheap crap. At least all the stuff that is "readily" available for the VH is good stuff...

I can vouch for this... Materials for my headers cost around 400 alone..

Proper mandrel bent tubing, proper collectors, flanges for the collector ends.. Yeah s*** adds up quick.

Even if it doesn't work? Seems to be a lot of bad experience with this company.

A lot of suckers don't know the difference between build and built.
