I'm sorry but a header built correctly avoids cutting structural componets on a car.
Apparently they overspent on time, energy, and money to route around other objects in the engine bay. They make the exhaust gases travel a different path...and buyers get to help pay for their extra R&D.
Your supposed to spend time, energy and money when designing parts for a car... THEN YOU TEST FIT THEM... AND CHANGE THE JIG
headers built correctly are exspensive... your correct
your headers arent built correctly - cheap
dont dance around that...
and this post isnt bashing... I'm correcting your sales pitch lieing for those that cant determine that on their own... and no more then the fact you mentioned parts built correctly wasted time, energy and money.
you sell a cost effective part cuz it doesnt fit... not cuz your path is shorter... the collector was welded incorrectly.... the pipe that requires the cut should be above the pipe its below.
Why cant you just say the price reflects a mistake... you gotta say a mistake represents a performance gain.... cheap or not... it's still peoples money
Yes, you are bashing...because we're a competitor. That makes you look low...like a mud-slinging politician. I'll refrain from stooping to that level...except to mention that your grammar needs much work.
Calling our products "cheap" is a cheap shot. Just because they are reasonably priced does not mean they are "cheap".
Over the years that we have produced, carried, and sold these NSX headers, we have had NUMEROUS very happily satisfied customers! Like Honda, if we ever have an issue, mistake, human error, defective batch (whatever you want to call it or what the case may be), we take care of it and do right by the customer so swiftly that it is a barely noticeable blip on the radar. When we make a mistake, we admit it, and do what's right.
Is it possible that a gig on our production line got knocked, bumped, or dropped? You bet! Sh!t happens. You address it, fix it, and move on.
Our products represent a more cost efficient option in a market where many parts are priced by someone high on crack thinking that just because someone can afford an NSX they must have money...and those companies want a big chunk of that. Many of us in the NSX community are sick of that attitude. It comes from sellers who are either greedy or "mark-up middle men" distributors. Top Speed Auto is a manufacturer...not a middleman.
I have an eleven year banking and finance career...with now two years in marketing and promotions. I know a crap-load about cars from previous stints working in the automotive field and working on my own cars, but I am NOT an automotive mechanical engineer. Are you?!? I did not design these. They are made the way they are for many reasons.
The explanation I stated was what I was provided from the designer at the factory. They chose to route the pipes that way. Sure, it may have been in an effort to keep costs down, but our headers do fit great and do offer a clear performance gain for a cost-minded owner. Are they perfect? No...but then neither are any of us...and neither is every product on the market "perfect".
Beyond that...hate to burst your bubble, but occasionally, when adding a non-OEM part to a car, some alteration of the original structure does occur. Study some race car history.
In the future, I suggest you think twice about calling someone a liar (learn to spell, by the way)...especially when doing so while hiding behind a computer.
