    your set of early wbs headers looks like maybe the OBX stuff was welded together by one of the more experienced highly skilled chinese kids...the other set in the pics above (another OBX modd'd) was welded by the 9 year old rookie lol

    This is exactly what you see with the chinese headers... sometimes they're mint, other times they look like garbage.
    PWNED I wouldn't put those on my car, not for top dollar.

    Who knows who's at fault for the fluctuation in quality.

    Is it WBS, or the Chinese manufacturer?

    who cares whos at fault, in the end the seller should own up and replace or refund his order. id be pushing hard for a full refund myself.

    The seller is responsible for selling quality product. If they get product from a manufacturer that is flawed it is the sellers responsibility not to sell that crap.

    Of course it's their fault in the end for selling a ****ty product that wasn't even their own to begin with. I was just wondering what is causing the fluctuation of quality.

    WBS in some hot water now. I won't be doing any future business with them.

    thats china's great work. but wbs is the last seller who claims 6 months of R and D went into these lol

    im sure most of their other parts are ok. these headers are just not looking so good.

    Wow. The inside of my SD's look mint compared to both of those. Some day I'll pull off my front header and snap some pics.

    If I truly paid the amount on the website this thread would have ended and a set of zzp's would be in hand. I do have another email sent to them but I am waiting on a reply. In the meantime this was the next one. Oh and I took it upon myself to fix the egr tube (15 minutes) DAMN sexy??? I know. Where the hell was quality control on this? I may have to pull off the tube before I rip the car apart just to be sure it fits.......

    I am not trying to start anything to be clear, just posting what the company is telling me. Yes people have their own opinion and yes I am not happy. But it is what it is, it is just my DD and the toy is away for the winter.







    Was this really that hard to do?
