Supersprint quality control issues?

[natty99]

V1s and catted section 1 from 2008/9 here. Flawless fitment and no cracks or other issues

theyre not worth it... the extra few hp if that, just isnt worth that extra money.. I went with the BW Single-stepped and I love them, quality was top notch, they fit PERFECT, slipped right on and I scored them for under 900$ shipped on black friday.

Can you use the stock section one with these?

The outlet is 2.33" (60mm) so they "should" bolt up to the stock section 1.

They do, they are meant to.

Just checked ECS - - looks like the latest shipment is delayed by another two months! First world problems.....

Got mine headers replaced by supersprint. Was some wait on communication as SS can not ship directly to US, but after schmieadmann shipped them I was shocked took them less then 2 days to deliver from EU. The headers look straight :-)

Glad to hear that K

Thanks! Still waiting for my Karbonius, though. Who knows maybe even finish my NA build before the pandemic ends :-)

I've just received a set today from ECS, the middle flange on the shorter bank is set back from the outer flanges about a 1/16" of an inch or less, doesn't seem like it's really going to be an issue though as the bolts should pull it in enough to be flush.
Welds looks pretty good, I was disappointed to find none of the hardware to plug the O2 sensor holes present, although the cap for the EGT hole was there.
I apologize for the sub-par pictures.

They look pretty damn good to me. I don't think SS normally includes hardware.

My order from 2017 had the hardware. Maybe they are not doing it more recently.

Cubieman, now those look fantastic. Glad they (SS) stepped their game up and took action and responsibility.

I received mine without hardware as well. Contact ECS and they will get you some hardware. Their pictures show hardware and I mentioned that to them. PM me and I can get you the part #s that they sent. It is not the SuperSprint hardware thought.

Received mine recently from the groupbuy. Came without installation hardware. I reached out to TMS/ECS and they told me that the headers do not come with installation hardware. Do you know who you spoke with at ECS?

Also, the flanges didn't look completely flush on my set either. To measure, I placed the middle flange flush to a flat surface and inserted firm printer paper in between the other flanges and the surface. I then used a micrometer to measure the paper. Long story short, both headers had one of the flanges out of spec by 0.77mm.

Is that within expected quality range? 0.77mm seems like a decent amount to me, to stretch by torqueing the header bolts.

The bolts will pull them in. Even 1 mm would be fine
