yeah I a getting nervous lol. Some people rave about how good they made headers for like the corvette or lancer etc, and others totally just bash shit on them lol. Totally mixed reviews on this brand name. Once he sees that nobody is buying it for the 600 he wants, he will lower the price... if now people can always just private message him and ask for like a side deal explaining that they know he sold it for half the price before.

WTFFFFF!!!! I open my mail this morning and he did a transaction cancel on me. He is refusing to sell me the item and gave me a refund with no explanation

Lol. I can't say I am surprised. I would have expected you to receive a header made of straws.

tjohnson104 · 10-14-2013, 04:14 PM

bullshit. I bet its because I pad 300 bucks for it, he got in trouble because they probably lost money on it, that's why he increased the price and told me they were out of stock or back ordered. so he didnt loose money on the deal. he still has them for sale on his ebay account, and his real store international-speed.com

yeah idk. I have my money refunded. everything is squared away, I have been messaging him, and apparently he is just the middle man. He lists it for the manufacture and when it sells, he then orders from them. So he said they are sold out. But once I complained enough, he wrote and promised to message him at the beginning of November, and he would re sell me it for the same original price I paid... so that's pretty good. well find out i guess.

unless its 300, not worth it, with borla being 6 range and somewhat established.

They look good. Too bad there is no info. The catted is $455.

The trouble for a boxer header is quality is important to ensure appropriate fit. It's easier to make sure the flange of an inline header is level but the precision of matching a boxer is more challenging (ask Borla).

I'm not saying it won't work but I'd just consider it being a risk. For the price point, it might not be a big deal. The other issue is potential cracking from cheap welds.

Looks pretty close to the stock header if you ask me.

stefmiesterb · 01-23-2014, 03:22 PM

I asked manzo some questions about the header and offered to dyno it for a discount. Is it UEL? I can't tell.

Manzo said, "Thank you for taking an interest in our products! Unfortunately, we do not have any dynos of this item. However, usually aftermarket headers will add at least 6-12+ HP depending on what modifications you have on your vehicle. The other version of the FR-S/BRZ header we offer with the catalytic converter included will make slightly less power due to the restriction of the cat. These headers are un-equal length headers, and they come with a 30-day warranty. If anything should go wrong, please take pictures of proof to show us so we can open up a claim for you.

We are currently not doing any promotions on dynoing, but if we do need a dyno for this item we'll be sure to let you know."

Out of curiosity did this ever happen? If it did, how is the header?
