Well if they are new and they don't have any pics with them on before or after, then I don't even think they've been tested. Meaning they may not be reliable, or give gains in HP. I wouldn't try anything that hasn't already been tested.

I don't think so, these are in a different thread about headers....someone else said they are Grand Prix headers. same bed in the back ground too.

If you read the heading with the part number. The part number brings up headers for a firebird.

Yeah nice find, I would definatly be more interested in getting a pair if there were some actual installed pics/proven results.

it also says 96-00 GA dont think i would trust that even though the 3100 and the 3400 are layed out the same those wouldnt be optimal for both so you would be giving something up. (If they were the real deal that is)

Yeah, thats been brought up here before. They aren't grand am headers, they are grand prix headers. You can tell by the addition of the EGR pipe on the rear flange. It's not a very good design either since it uses slip joints and clamps for the cross-over pipe instead of regular collector flanges and donut gaskets or v-band flanges. It would be very hard to get them apart if you needed to take the headers off for service after you clamped the pipes down. Stay away from these.

I wrote to them that they were grand prix headers this was their response:

This is for a Grand Am. Sorry, if the pictures make it look a different way. Thank you for your inquiry.
Please visit us on the web at
www.ssautochrome.com & www.xs-power.com. SW

So I am going to reply to them on what insurance i have if they dont fit.

I think it is a scam, in there web site there is nothing for Grand Am headers or the Prix....shoudn't they have an updated picture.

SSAutochrome has been around for quite some time. They like to do parts for cars that don't have a great deal of aftermarket support. They've made headers for the Ford 2.3t community(although quality varied) and they used to sell T3/T4 turbos that didn't work to the 2.3t Ford community as well. They refunded everybody's money, but I would still be careful on what I buy from them:nono: ....

HOLY ****, THESE MOTHER ****ERS! THIS IS HOW THEY REPLIED!

Well, this is EBay and not Sears. If you want to hold something before you buy it than you need to go to Sears. It will fit a Grand Am. Case closed. Thank you for your inquiry.

Well I replied, we'll see how and if they reply to this:

Hey whats with the sarcasm? I was just asking a product question. All I wanted to know is, if it doesn't fit, is there a way to return it? I am not sure but I believe that's a customer concern. I really dont appreciate the way you are treating me, especially since I am a potential customer.

I know that I shouldn't even care, but it just agrivates me. I mean show some ****ing professionalism.

BTW if you do get a chance check out his replies to the negative comments.

I sent them a reply also. this is what I said.
This will NOT fit the 96-05 Grand Am's 3100/3400 engines. Grand prix headers will never fit on the grand am's block. and know ones seems to bidding on it.

What does it take for ebay to shut them down or rather to remove their stuff from auction?

If enough people report the auction number and give reason why, Ebay will research the item. They will pull it off the site if they find out whats going on. All they need to know is that the auction is misleading and misrepresents the item being sold.

Sadly, this may take several people getting ripped off before ebay realizes this seller needs beat with a stick.

Maybe write the winner and find out if they really fit his GA or write him before he sends the money.

It could be one of his associates that bought them, just to make it look like they sell decent products.
