Thread: Speed Daddy Header install writeup

Others have talked about an SSAC stamp on them, but mine had none.
It was shipped to me directly from China, not North Carolina.
None of the paperwork in or on the box mentions SSAC.

I can't say 100% that these are SD headers from SSAC, but it sure does look like they are doing that. I wish I had saved the $120 and just bought the SD ones. I went with SSAC for the same reasons you are stating, but don't believe that to be the case anymore.

Agree.. They look identical and the SSC stamp doesnt make a difference.

SSAC are way more reliable. Some people will say SD are the same exact thing just a knock off. But in all reality it's like comparing nike to payless.

no if anything thats like comparing Nikes to Fake Nikes...... I still dont see how you get this, have you ever seen a set of SD Headers and compared them to a set of SSAC's in person... They are identical even with the damn sink trap of a down pipe.

Some tips/tricks you guys didn't happen to mention. If you unbolt the downpipe before ratcheting the engine forward it will have less load on it and the bolts may come out easiers.
Loosening the rear subframe bolts and allowing it to come down about three inches gives you an easy way to remove and put in yoru rear manifold/header.
The two fasteners on the ends of each head that hold the header/manifold are studs. Removing the studs (5.5 mm) helps gain a lot of room for taking the manifolds out and putting the headers in.
