Here are a few pics of my CCFab topmount. I bought it from Josh and Corey in November. It was shipped promptly to my house and needed a signiture for pickup (which is nice for peace of mind). I also bought black intercooler piping and an RFL bov from Josh for a ridiculously good price. Their service in the past has given them a tarnished record, but from my dealings with them, i feel like they've changed. Their work is great and service is top notch...i can call Josh or Corey whenever i want and talk about the stuff i bought and they're more than willing to help me.

As for the manifold i got from them, the fitment is wonderful. If you look, the downpipe fits in very snugly and there is room for a 4" or larger dp if desired. The dp also fits up against the oil pan, but doesn't quite touch it. My only complaint is that the manifold isn't power steering compatible, but i knew that from the beginning...i'm very pleased with it

I have customer that bought one recently ( ram horn ), the waste gate elbow fell completely off while he was on the way to a Honda-Tech meet.



Yep and thats how they looked. There is a reason why he has about 12 banned user names on here. Search for hotrex, and all the ccfab post were locked then deleted.

i have a ram horn mani. it has worked great no cracks but the welds dont look that great. It looks like his work has gotten better since i got mine. I ordered mine and he said two to three week turn around it took over 3months to get it. I got pissed asked for my money back and was lied to a ton of times about it going out tomorrow or on this day or whatever i finally tracked down his home phone number by getting his last name and the city he lived in. After a week of calling everyday and talking to him he got mine out and done. The price couldnt have been beat and the manifold is still holding but getting it was a pain i would just be willing to wait all summer before you get your manifold. also post up on homemadeturbo.com when i got mine he was banned from the fs section for crap like this

i'm not denying that some people may have had problems with their parts and their shipping practices, but i've been completely satisfied during my MULTIPLE dealings with them....

I don't understand why there is a debate. If half the customers are giving good opinions about CC-Fab and the other half are giving bad opinions about CC-Fab...then why gamble your money with them? Not that I'm trying to hurt anyone's business, (before someone accuses me for that) but really...it seems to be still up in smoke about who works w/ who still, and whether or not Josh or Corey is up to the task...hmmm, plus everyone has agreed that the lead times will be longer than desirable. I'm not just picking on CC-Fab, if these circumstances are current for ANY company, it's not worth gambling with. Go w/ a company that is well-established, and has a good understanding of customer service.

Again, not that Josh or Corey doesn't have these qualities, or whatever situation they may be in to hinder their abilities as a company...but go for something established w/ a great warranty that EVERYONE in the past has agreed upon, such as LoveFab, or PeakBoost, or if you really want the best you can go way out of your pocket and assure the best quality and service...the FullRace stuff.

It just makes me wonder how much debt they're in. Selling cheap *** products, and having so many longevity/quality problems.

BTW, some advice for those who have had issues with their product from cc-fab: Contact them, and ask for a refund. There is such a thing called an implied warranty. There doesn't even have to be a written explict warranty out there for it to be valid. If the product broke within a reasonably short amount of time, the user has complete rights to compensation. If they don't compensate you in some way, I'd contact a lawyer for sure. I've said this before...but I just hate people getting ripped off.

CC-Fab made a total of 4 manifolds (I ordered 5...#5 never showed up).
At first communication was great, got my demo fast. Placed my first order and got it in a timely manner. Then it went down hill (dealing w/ Josh). Corey then took over and things started going smoothly again. Then back down hill, my last order was never received (ordered 12/22/06), I've called him many times, he's answered once)
1. D series log a demo that was sent to me, looked great, sold it.
2. B series ramhorn supposedly A/C compatible...no where near A/C compatible, too flared out and barely fit in the bay. I spoke to Corey and got it handled, they sent me a replacement.
3. B Series ramhorn replacement, fit great. Oddly enough I had to replace a coupler for the owner of this car this morning. What do I see...#2 runner is cracked straight across the weld from side to side. . It is the first and only crack I could find after inspecting them all...which is 1 crack to many **** This manifold probably has 5k miles on it.
4. D series mini ram and a collector...no problems at all
5....never showed up

So there you have it...a 50/50 chance ( a chance I'd rather not have to take).

I'll be calling Corey today...probably won't answer the phone.
Needless to say, I've swapped suppliers, lesson learned.
