On a side note.... My Badmab has nicer welds than my Pacesetter has on my Cavalier.

I think it's the luck of the draw when buying these.

Lots of people like them & lots hate them. Same with any other part for these cars.
That is a nice weld! When did you get that ? Maybe back then they did their welding right, then right now too many Cobalt owners kept ordering from Bad Mab. Then Bad Mab say "OH CRAP! I don't have time do all of this order so they buying off from China cheap knockoff and send out to Cobalt." Then That wouldn't be right at all, they are from North Carolina! What's wrong with them ?

What I am saying is that Bad Mab need to put their signature on every Header they make and sell them. Like what ZZP did, so that way we know it come from who ? But Bad Mab didn't and we (some persons do think) that Bad Mab kept buying off from China then they got it and selling out to Cobalt's owner that want it.

I purchased my Badmab header in November of 2010.

I purchased it directly through Badmab, and spoke to Brad before I made the purchase.

I really think that Bad Mab really need to prove it to us for now on is putting their signature on their header to prove us that they made it. Like what ZZP did on their jobs.

I did and that what he said,
Ben,


Our header warranty in non-transferable. Please see our current policy (attached). I have no doubt that you will be completely satisfied after installing the header. I'm sure you will be impressed with performance gains along the entire curve.




Thank you,

That what he said, I am not the buyer of the header. I bought it off from somebody that said this is Bad Mab header. I dunno about that, sound fishy.

Brad will not warranty a header unless you (yourself) purchased it directly through him.

That's standard with any company that sells parts. Warranty is through the original purchase only not through resale.

Biggest reason not to buy the header off of Ebay?

They advertise the HEADER and then in the background have a turbo cobalt motor... show me where the header goes.... lol

its a header, not a show piece. if it seals, it functions, no matter how bad it looks.
Have to agree with this second comment.

Op maybe you should complain to gm about the used cobalt you bought. Interior is not as nice as the new Mercedes you wanted but weren't willing to pay for.
:p
