Ebay has alot of these for sale (cheap) any good?

 

any good?

 

my buddy has them on his Camaro and they're about the same quality as my edelbrocks and he also go them on Ebay

 

than stock manifolds, as about anything are.

 

Jus got mine from ebay too for a buy it now of239 from WoodandCo.They are ok, im sure there are better,but not for the price. Install was fairly straight forward,jus make sure to use rtv on everything. Also,there is one plug that is immpossible to get to. I had to drill out the holes lil bigger for the O2's,and the threading for the air fittings is worng( although a lil sweat and tears and it threads itself right in. The paint also smoked off in the first 10 min of use. I would say get them, and have some money left over to butother stuff...CUTOUT!

 

Also,If it is from woodandCo, they were awesome on shipping and everything. Bought them on monday, at my house on friday.

 

Please explain further.

 

yes 239.00 it says, is that it?

 

Absolute garbage dont waste your money...I had em on my 97z and it was the biggest mistake of my life...w/ headers you get what ya pay for

 

what was wrong with them? Metal is metal, I know the welding and fitting and threading could be substandard, please tell me whats wrong with them.

 

They did not frill the holes large enough in the headers for the O2's to fit.The threading for the AIR fittings wasthe wrong TPi.But they will work. Specially for 239!

 

Drill the threads out and retap? Any other problems? How about the air TPI what did you do? Yes for 239.00 new it seems like a deal.

 

Mine fit very well, no issues with the O2 bungs but the AIR fittings needed a spacer to seat correctly. I forget what I used, maybe a brass compression fitting ferrule.

Only problem I had was getting the Y pipe to fit correctly. I had to weld the 2 halves together and then coerce it with a pry bar while bolting up the collectors.

I also bought Felpro gaskets (the ones that came with them may have worked but, why risk it).

No leaks so far but the coating is beginning to peel on the collectors and Y pipe. They've only been on for around 2000 miles (less than 1 year). I expected much better.

They helped performance-wise, but I'm not sure how much (haven't been to the track).

Also, the # 7 plug is tight to say the least. I had to use a plug with a shorter insulator to make it fit. Has to be removed with a box end wrench from the bottom.

 

Can the header tube be dented in some instead of using a different plug? Can you even use a different plug? What is exactly wrong with the air fittings on the headers, (too deep)??

 

I've had them on my car for well over two years now and I like them. I use AC R44LTS (R42LTS if you have N2O) plugs and the work just fine. The shortest I could find. I think 5 is the hardest to get back in, but not bad if you know how to do it. They all come out from the top with no problem if you have one of the cut down plug sockets.
