    Stainless SS Racing Manifold Header Exhaust Grand Prix GTP Regal Impala 3 8L V6 | eBay

    There are cheaper ones available, but these are proved to be great quality for the price.
    If you do purchase them this will also we useful.

    rperry435, How long ago did you successfully order ssautochrome headers?
    Lately I have heard nothing but bad about them not shipping orders out...so I tried it myself. First I emailed there customer service (no phone number available) and varified that they were in stock, they almost immedietaly responded yes, and I also had told them about what I had heard...They offered to me a 50% refund if when I got the headers I then sent them pictures of the intalled headers with a positive review. I agreed, and placed my order, I was told they would ship within 48 hours. After about 5 days I emailed them asking about the headers being shipped out, since I had not recieved a shipping confirmation. I didnt get a reply. after two weeks I sent them another rather concerned email, and again did not get a reply. after three weeks of waiting I emailed them and told them since I have not been getting responces I assumed that I would never get the product, and told them they had 24 hours to clarify things with me before I took action. After 24 hours I called my bank and filed a dispute, and got the money back, then ordered speed daddys (shipment was confirmed within 24 hours). around 36 hours later I recieved this email from ssautochrome "name?
    address??
    city ?
    state ?
    zip ?
    phone >?
    item ordered >?"
    I then responded by telling them I have canceled the transaction through my bank, and that they should cancel the order. I told them that if they would like to make this situation right with me, that I would be willing to work with them, and left them my cell phone number as well. I am yet to hear anything...Please note that before they got my money they were responding to emails within 2 hours. Afterwards I never got a response. Not once. This is just my personal experience, and I see plenty of people using SSAC headers, so I am sure they are not a scamming company, but it didnt work out for me. Chris

    Wow I didn't know that's good to know. I ordered a set a year ago exactly no issues. I emailed ssautochrome Friday and have not heard back from them yet for a simple question

    I also have heard from people on other forums that if you drive to there address in NC there is nothing but woods there... fake address? Like I said it sounds like you have had positive experiences with them, so who knows. I know I will not be wasting my time with them again.

    Also not to mention but I am pretty sure from what I hear that SSAC and speed daddys are identical? If that is true then speed daddys are the best route. 218 shipped, where as SSAC's are 225 shipped :P

    SD & SSAC are the same as far as I know, it just seems that SD is a more reputable company.

    Both SLP knockoffs from what I hear, almost identical if not exact. I do know all the pipe dimensions are identical (collector, crossover, DP, etc)

    The o2 location is different between the 2 ssac being in a better location but other than that they are the same pretty much. I had problems with the crossover on the ssac's but sd's bolted right up.
