Selling the Evo 3 "big" 16 for $350!? Let alone as a dsm kit, there is no way that can be legit.

They are claiming a 32% power increase will be available using their header plus an intake and exhaust. NO claims for that product by itself, no dyno chart, and probably with photos stolen from a member here.

Oh shit. I should put that on before the 50% gain modchip. So that way the 30% gets compounded for a larger horsepower jump from the modchip. Mods like +10 hp fuel magnets, and the +20hp turbinator should always be applied first. Make sure you put on mods which reduce horsepower last so you have a larger principal to work with.

People don't realize the value of compounded horsepower. Keep that in mind when working with these eBay companies. Stay one step ahead of the game and you will always be the eBay horsepower king.

For those disinclined to do the searches themselves, who is SS Autochrome and why are they bad?

They make thin headers which sound buzzy. That's all. They are cheap.
