The pictures show welded cones are used instead due to too small diameter of tubing, like the typical Ebay headers.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

In case anyone has seen this auction be weary: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...spagenameZWDVW These are not Fabspeed headers. They are clearly fraudulently labelled as Fabspeed headers, but when you look at the pics they are the cheap lose-HP Ebay headers.

POST 2Original post

I have Fabspeed headers in my car and looking at the pics. I can't tell the different.

How can we tell the difference between fakes and the real thing?

POST 4Original post

If you look carefully at the pictures on the ebay listing and compare them to the pictures on the Fabspeed website I believer you will see the differences, I was able to. If you are interested, ask the Ebay seller to post of picture of the "Fabspeed" stamp that is on headers at the outlets.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

There are several differences as real Fabspeeds have: 1. Fabspeed logos are stamped in the tubing right after the collector. There are no stamps on the ones in the Ebay photos, like the typical Ebay headers. 2. All the primary tubes on Fabspeed headers are 1-piece. 1 primary tube is welded on each header in the listing due to insufficient bending equipment, like the typical Ebay headers. 3. The primary tubes on Fabspeed headers are flared where they meet the head flange. The pictures show welded cones are used instead due to too small diameter of tubing, like the typical Ebay headers. This is the primary reason why Ebay headers lose power over stock. 4. Fabspeeds have 1-piece Nascar style coned merge collectors. The collectors in the pics are multiple pieces welded together, like the typical Ebay headers. 5. Fabspeed lines up the primaries and welds them to the collectors without slip joints. In the pics, the primaries are slipped into flarings in the collector and welded just on the outside, like the typical Ebay headers. Bottom line, it is not hard to tell they are not Fabspeed headers and this is a fraudulent seller.
