XS Power Headers

I was curious is anyone ran them or knew anything about them. I was going to order a set of them today and wanted to know if they were reliable or just a waste of money? A quick answer would be greatly appreciated.

All info should be here....

There are also several long threads on them. Use the search function & search for "headers"

Simple facts are they are a ok quality, low cost, high HP gain mod. I've had my set over a year with zero problems.

Also if you have a 6 speed CLS your only options are CT & the XS since the fitment for the 6speed is different the the auto CLS.

I have an 02. I just ordered them and will be installing them April 5th. I'll take pics and what not. I also saw they had a exhaust system. How does that do?

The thing that I dont understand is that XS Power and SSAutoChrome are the same company. So why are the prices so different?

$130 at XS Power:

$88 at SSAutoChrome:
http://ssautochrome.com/level.itml/icOid/1494

So I still paid $30 more. I e-mailed them about it. So I will see how they respond and fill everyone in on how their customer service is.

Speaking from experience, their customer service sucks. I wouldn't expect much from them.
