Default DO NOT BUY EBAY HEADER from ZENMOTORSPORTS

Somebody had to make the sacrafice to try it out... so I bought the catback header combo for $199. The exhaust fits fine but the header does not fit whatsoever. The top bolts in fine but the bottom that connects to the Spipe is 2-3" off. I even sent him pictures that it doesnt fit and hes like... oh from the pictures we can see that it fits...the bottom and the Spipe cant even bolt together.

I emailed him and wanted a refund on the header but he just ignores my emails. If you guys could do me a favor and just blast him with complaints and crap I'd appreciate it. I'll just take it as a loss and save all you guys some grief.

ebay name: zenmotorsports

From the pictures it looks like the flanges are the same distance as the stock ones... How exactly does it not fit... The pics dont really show anything... Did you discover the problem when you went to install it?

Same thing I was thinking, from the pics it looks like it would fit. Maybe when reinstalling it was way off...

G/L getting you money back OP.

looks like the aftermarket headers are a bit longer???? other than that looks like they fit. why would you buy generic brand headers any way? im kind iffy when it comes buying stuff like that on ebay... even if it does say injen or dc, thers a chance it can be a cheap knock off...

That pic is me pushing the Spipe and the header all the way in... it cannot seal. Not to mention once its installed the only way it would fit is if a new Spipe was made. I tried for 3 hours thinking it was me... I'm just posting this up to help out everybody who wanted to buy it. They are sending me a return sticker so I'll get my money back... hopefully.
