Anybody Tried Headers and Y Pipe from SSAutochrome?

Current Ebay listing for headers and Y Pipe for $290. The company is SS Autochrome in Morrisville, NC. Has anybody had any experience with this company or their Headers & Y pipes? I've never heard of the company and the price seems too good to be true.

I ordered the Headers from them last week and they actually sent the Y-pipe and headers. I dont need the Y-pipe seen here http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=467531

About the headers. Ive heard they're really not worth installing if you have the motor in your car. Really hard to install for the little gains you get from them. They are really too short. I got them beacuse my motor is out and they have to be better then stock by a bit. If you want pure performance Header/Y-pipe Combo youll need to contact Cattman or OBX and get a set from them. Cattmans run $850 for the set but are really good.

this has already been talked about. SS autochrome is junk. If you want effective, well engineered headers go hotshot or some other company

They are junk. But with the motor out of the car, and want a bit of an upgrade, they are worth it. To pay for installing these would be pointless.

Yea. They are too soft for exhaust manifold gasket for sure. Im going to get NIssan Gaskets or re-use the old ones
