That looks horrible! I'd reach out to him asap. I'm sure he will make this right. I guess you get what you pay for...

Well if you had gotten MBH or ARH off the rip, the key phrase would be buy once cry once. But you already know ow your next move and what should have been your first move 😬

the thread was filled with headers from this guy that looked much better than the ones ive received, just take a gander.
Trust me i didn't want to buy ****ty headers, was expecting at least decent quality since it was claimed that these were better than the vrp stuff from other members.

I'd have to agree. I picked up a used MBH set and let me tell you even them being dirty and used they looked wicked. Spend the money and cry once, its worth it! You own a C63 not a Civic...

Are they welded on the other side of those welds you are showing ?? if they are i wouldn't worry about it, sometimes if header pipes are welded from the inside of the flange, which i have to believe these are there is no need to even weld the outside or other side of the flange..

Ill be throwing them on next month, now that i have confirmed that the welds on the inside are good enough. ill keep everyone up to date on dyno results.

that’s great news! I was going to say my headers from shardul were fantastic. The Thing I would recommend changing is the exhaust gaskets. They are soft. However, shardul might have a reasoning for that.

I would pay $200 more just to avoid dealing with VRP. Their business model is shady and costumer service sucks.

I have no idea how to respond to that. I thought you guys may have partnered up since they were selling your headers on their website. I was under the impression that you built these, which led me to think that.

He wont address this question,. and the reason we got these headers is to prove a point. Shardul doesnt make any parts. literally none. I have 4 pallets of these. And they are selling fast and shipping same day. but i can tell you FOR SURE, the runners and primaries ARE smaller than the VRP branded headers. When are people going to start addressing sharduls dishonesty?
With that said, I am in no way saying one is better over another. That’s what total consumer review is for. I am happy to see that you’re both offering affordable parts for this platform. Not everyone who owns a w204 will want to invest thousands in am parts. Some will be happy with a Chinese version, as long as it fits. So there is definitely a market for it.
