Not so fast....I ran an Ebay search & didn't come back with any either. They may be out at the moment. Give it a few days.

My apologies to the OP....

Although some one had recently posted the new ebay store there operating out of, so maybe the OP could contact them that way to see if they have any more

I recently purchased one set. They seem to put new ones on every few weeks. Even though out of 6 auctions, i was the only one that bought some. I guess they are just slow about relisting stuff on ebay.

Thanks for writing about our items you are interested in.

The reason we are currently banned from listing items
on EBay is due to the fact that we are involved in litigation with a
legal rights owner of some items that decided to contact Ebay and
report
our listings for trade “ DRESS” violation. They stated that we
have OUR
ITEMS look like theirs, to lure buyers to our auctions in order to
confuse them. This is considered a infringement of copyright.

Since they swore to GOD under penalty of Perjury this is the case,
EBay
has revoked us from trading on their site indefinitely.

In the meantime, we are still in business, still accepting orders and
if you want anything we are happy to assist you.

Thanks for your understanding,

SSAUTOCHROME CUSTOMER SERVICE
SALES@ssautochrome.com
Looks like XS/ssautochrome got booted from ebay.

Yeah, those are the ones. It says they're shipping from the UK though, I wonder if they did that to bypass ebay's ban on them?

V6 4-2-1 header.


Stay away from ceramic headers. And definitely from a company who doesn't even know what they are advertising.

I remember the OBX ceramic headers had tons of problems.

$380 or whatever they are charging on their website is still a great deal guys.

You pick up 30whp with headers.

People spend $200 on an intake or pulleys for 8-10whp.

Maybe they will sell them for the $110 they were selling on Ebay for. Has anyone emailed them yet? I'm sure their business is hurting right now and they could use any revenue they can get.

Like Mr. Steve said, $300 for 30whp is worth it either way!

That'd be cool. Someone should shoot them an email and see if they might be interested. I'd do it, but it's my birthday.

I emailed them and completed an order for the "ebay" cost. They were quick to reply and ship and helpful.
But if you're expecting First class customer service for a $150 set of headers... maybe you should rethink getting them..

I'm waiting to hear from them. I actually won an eBay auction but didn't have the chance to pay until they lost their eBay seller privileges.
