Don't get it. Poor quality. There are much better headers out there.

I have one and actually the quality is very good.

It is dealing with the "supplier" Adam Chant that is the problem. Nightmare is a better word. I would stay away unless you want to get the runaround and don't want to get the header for quite some time after paying the money. Took me 3 months and the threat of going to the Police and filing a report for fraud. Stay away!

SCdyne headers are hit and miss for quality, Adam got just as screwed over as much as anyone else including the people who purchased TOG headers. The company who was making headers for SCdyne, RRE, TOG, Jim Wolf, etc manufactured crap for the last 2 years and it screwed a lot of people. You can go on a number of forums from Nissan to GM and you'll see the same thing, people pissed off at businesses about taking forever to deliver crappy headers. [All from the same manufacturing source]

The scdyne header was reported on RLF by (wopontour) to produce a 14 Hp increase over stock, has any other header dynoed that yet?

You can't fault Adam for the effort, just the execution.
Third party may be a safe way to get a hold of one for cheep and keep your risk low. Ask for images.
I tried to get one on eBay last month, but kept getting outbid. I hate people who use bidding software on eBay.

My SCDyne header is great. Fit great, great quality and a very noticeable power gain.

The problem was Adam. He lied over and over, In his e-mails (when he finally did respond) and when I was on the phone with him. I told him if his business approach was better that he would clean up because everyone was dying for a good header. If he was straight with his customers I would recommend the header to everyone, but he his not.

I have this header as well. I bought it from a member on the forums. It is a really nice piece of work! I am loving it. I need to get back on the dyno soon and see how much it actually increases.
