dood, you totally violated protocol on that one.

1) did you inspect the package for unusual stains or discoloration?
2) did you inspect the package for signs of tampering?
3) were there any non-descript markings or labels such as "To occupant"?
4) was there anything suspicious looking about the post-mark?

j/k man, looks like a barrel of fun! All you need now is an engine that can make enough power to justify them :p

By the way, about that thread title.....you forgot to say "No HOMO"

[cherrington17]

or... give them to a shop to duplicate them, for a cheap price, so we can all have them!

lol.....i will be happy just to driving the alero this summer with the stock motor and completed 5 speed swap, i'll worry about the built motor next summer after you break the sound barrier......or get eaten by your turbo, whichever happens first....

[phillipandtabby]

After reviewing the pic of the box i coming to the realization that that package was mailed to the wrong address. so please IM me so i can give you the correct address, its in ft Riley. sorry for the inconvenience.

[kwhauck]

lol......very funny newb....you are gonna fit right in......

[01GrandAm]

Yeah, I noticed they got there a day ahead of schedule when I checked my e-mail today... Fed-Ex has been kicking ass lately.

Enjoy the headers, I can't wait until I get my project finished up.

[Malibu369258]

Does Kyle want to buy another set...:lol:

[01GrandAm]

http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/1714819769.html

Trying to sell them already.... he just got them yesterday and paid $435 shipped. Guess if you can make a few bucks go for it but they sold for $515 with a flex when S&S was still open.

[XanderWiFi]

Please please please replicate! They would have been mine if I had internet regularly...whatever happened to the vents you were going to pull?

[Redog]

I doubt something like that will sell on CL, at least not locally

[AleroB888]

Uh, "Location: Thornton " ??

[Malibu369258]

[kwhauck]

there is that nice OSV kit for sale.......you should buy it! :lol:

[BlackJack]

umm no, i was gonna be all over it though if they were like $200.....

dood seriously wants $600 for uncoated headers? yeah, good luck with that one. oh yeah, and they're "RARE" since the company shut down. LOL

I'll wait for a set from Ben if he gets around to it. Should go pretty nice with the Nitrous beast I'm building for my daughter.

[AleroB888]

In Thornton, CO ?

here's what his ad says:

"I bought them for my 04 Grand Am but unfortunately i need the money so i will not be using them. ................

Cash offers only... no low-ballers i paid a set amount and i wont take a loss on these.
Thanks "

I should offer him 450 just to call him on his claim. :p

They're not mine, this is an ad I found on craigslist, and yes he's a little over his head, just like most things listed in Northern Colorado and the Denver Metro area.

[kwhauck]

So lets talk thermal coatings. When I had TOG headers that were JetHot coated I was not happy with the results. They were more like paint than a thermal barrier. Not to mention that by the time I got give of them and their "lifetime" warranty they were starting to flake and rust.

I have heard great reviews about this though.

http://www.swaintech.com/store.asp?pid=10969

I think I may rock them raw this summer and let them get some heat cycles in. Then this fall I will remove the headers and pay the money to get them coated and do the 6-8 week wait.

Opinions?

[xnick]

my buddy did swaintech on his 3800 hesders... The car has less than a mile on it since tho... Waiting on a tune

I sent him this e-mail:

http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/1714819769.html


How about $450.00 ??

I live in the Thornton, CO, / Westminster area.

his reply:


How about you find another set?
This is a STEAL at $600, I'm not even getting what i paid for them back out of the price.
Wouldn't you think someone selling an obsolete part would know what they are dealing with???

:lol:

[Malibu369258]

his headers are of a special sort...

Everyone on here should send him an e-mail offering $450, see how pissed he gets. :lol:

[heineck]

Roflmao just sent him 1

[kwhauck]

I just sent one......lol

[heineck]

Hahaha so this is wat he wrote back

"So, I've had four other people offer me $450 tonight, and I've helped someone like this before with a ram air hood by having people from a fourm email the seller on the item, so I want everyone to cut the shit and stop wasting my time. I highly doubt four random people would make the "same" offer within several hours on the same day, when I've only had one two prior emails on them. The ad says no low ballers. Real effing funny.I'm taking the ad down, and yes I'm sure ill read about this on the site I'm a member on.Stop wasting my time"

[kwhauck]

lol......

Sorry but $600 Is a steal considering they are obsolete and ( the last company to produce them-) S&S went out of business and the only other company that MIGHT produce them (pacesetter) still has not decided if they are going to proceed with the line when they released the news a year ago. If you can find them NEW for that price, I strongly suggest you take that offer. You can get the flex piece at advance auto for $15. I bought them off a member of a Grand Am fourm a week ago and all shown is what I received. The ad said no low balling so idk why your wasting our time.

Thanks

[BlackJack]

consider the fact that offering someone perceived market value isn't lowballing.

however, overpricing something is definitely gouging.

[Malibu369258]

The one I received... heineck's beats 'em all.

"Sorry if you don't like the price find them somewhere else if your concerned about this deal. 600 is a good deal for an obsolete part.

Thanks"

[kwhauck]

:lol: :lol: i called his bluff, he got a little defensive.......:lol:

You are a fucking idiot sir. If I were trying to "rip off" my fellow community members, DONT YOU THINK I WOULD HAVE POSTED IT ON THE SITE INSTEAD OF CRAIGSLIST??? There's a reason I stayed away from grandamgt.com. Also, have you ever sold anything on CL? Yeah but put a bufer in the price, and yes that makes me a "lair" but at the end of the day-if my money in MY pocket and not your god damn conmcern! Everyone will low ball on craigs out here on anything posted. Fucking moron. And, since you checked my personal banking statement, I was more than $435. Not much, but again by word of mouth you look like an ass clown who thinks they know what's up! I need the money, but im not in a horrible position.

You know, its one thing to take someones opinion and make it your own, and another to get the facts.

[pimpalero2003]

Haha 2funny!

[kwhauck]

no shit huh,, haha! 3800 headers look like they will fit a 3400

nope

[BlackJack]

well, actually they will with some work. All you need to do is get a cutting torch, welder, a grinder, some new flanges, and about 12 hours of labor, and you're golden.:thumbsdown:

Now I know who's trying to sell them over on grandamgt.com...

[Redog]

no shit huh,, haha! 3800 headers look like they will fit a 3400

No sorry they won't fit.

But if you want a "cheap" fix to get headers in yo whip, all you gots to do is buy 2 headers for a Honduh Civic and put them in. You just gotta weld closed the "extra" head port.

You could just get a set of V8 long tube headers and have your exhaust come out the side of the car and do a "direct exhaust injection" with the other 2 ports right into tha intake, yo! :rolleyes2:

[BlackJack]

Seriously?

[Redog]

^^ Come on, you should know me by now :rolleyes2:

i've heard that works wonders. When i tried it, i think i did something wrong. The car ran great... but my AC shot flames out instead of cold air.

....hmm...

[alero_bmxer]

what is this exhaust you all speak of? im running open head :ninja:

[kwhauck]

well, actually they will with some work. All you need to do is get a cutting torch, welder, a grinder, some new flanges, and about 12 hours of labor, and you're golden.:thumbsdown:

12 hrs? :haha: I can do it in 4.....:eek: :coolio:

[AleroB888]

12 hrs? :haha: I can do it in 4.....:eek: :coolio:

While we're at it, what is your general impression of the build quality of the headers you received, as compared to the TOGS or other headers?

[BlackJack]

12 hrs? :haha: I can do it in 4.....:eek: :coolio:
Sure YOU could, or I could, but can he? Hence 12 hr guestimation.

[Redog]

i've heard that works wonders. When i tried it, i think i did something wrong. The car ran great... but my AC shot flames out instead of cold air.

....hmm...

Shit, yo. Yous gots to roll them windows down and let the flame go out tha doors, yo. You'll run the 1/4 mile in 4 seconds that way

what is this exhaust you all speak of? im running open head :ninja:

Damn dawg, I never thought of that! You're car must be awesome fast ;)
