Default Be careful with ssautochrome.com listings on Ebay

In reference to the item listed below....I emailed them to confirm the brand they are selling and find out what it is constructed of. The bottom pic on the page clearly shows an "OBX" header but when asked their reply was
"Chromed, Not OBX." Thats odd since, if you go to http://www.ssautochrome.com the first thing you see and the only headers they sell are "OBX Racing Performance.
I'm not saying this is a bad header (how could I, I don't even know who's it is) or that its a bad deal. Just saying it is "misrepresented." Caveat Emptor.

Everyone and there damn brand names. If u like it then buy it. Who cares what company its from. If its installed correctly and was used correctly and breaks on you, then you can sue the company. OBX aint as bad as people think. Thats just my opinion. Buy it if you like it.

Just got another email from ssautochrome. Was told the brand of this header is a "Stone Race header."

I had an OBX headers before, and it worked great and didn't have any problems with it at all. It fit just fine.
