Ok, I bought "Ceramic" coated headers from them, within two days most of the coating flaked off. I contacted him describing what was going on and he responds stating that it is normal. We continue the conversation and he gets very defensive. So I left him negative feedback stating what happened. Of course he waits until you leave feedback to post his so that he can retalliate if need be. He uses a robot that posts a positive if you do, and if you post a neutral or negative it either ignores it, or sends them an email telling them. So now I got a negative from him saying "Flamers like to flame, we also like to eat peanuts at the circus." (Did he just call himself a flamer?) I have bought stuff from him before, two feedbacks I have are positives from him hailing me as an awesome buyer! This clown has got the last of my money. What do you guys think about garbage like this?

I think you should email him this thread after you post it at HP and HA.com

I'd also see if the auction is still listed and save a quick copy of that page or a JPG of it. Email and contact the BBB and Ebay/Paypal about your issues.

They want to flame, flame back.

Bastards.

the 4-1 header sucks anyway.. the design isnt much different than the stock exhaust manifold. also the 4-2-1 doesnt give you any real good gains, their turbo manifold cranks, so i guess the only good product for tiburons that they make is the catback

What problems did you have with the header Nick? I felt a pretty good increase with mine? But I got the Stone Racing variety...not sure if there is any difference though, they all pretty much look the same and I know are pretty much made at the same company.

I emailed him a link to my original thread about the headers, he could care less. I sent him at least 6 people after I bought my CAI from him. I won't send him anyone again and I plan on replacing the products I already have.
