X2 on this. I've never seen a company so willing to offer "designs" of their product and such, yet hide pictures of their facility, or lack thereof. It's not like pipe bending and jig welding is space-age technology that needs to be hidden in order to retain profit.

At first they said that "we make our own headers" now its a semi-local company, slowly the truth is coming out...semi-local may be China, India, Taiwan, or maybe they don't even know.

Chinese bullshit, like everything else. They'll dodge the question or give everyone a run-around.

As you can see,there's enough space for the maker of the headers to run the collector a few inches to the back and that would had cleared the frame. I don't know if they even test fitted them before selling .

A picture of their shop or proof they actually manufacture these in house would go a long ways. If they do in fact build their own headers the second question is why are they failing so hard at it?

When these first came out I was ready to sell my ebays and go American baby, just as I suspected. Sounds like they didnt have everything ironed out and put these out a little too soon.
