im not trying to scare him, but he should know buyer beware.

i would order the FS just because i would never again buy anything from F2. most people didn't have the ordeal i had and of all the people that have been screwed out of them i imagine my monetary damages were almost triple that of anyone else. i'll never do business with that snake again.

also most of FS's stuff is far better made. i always get a response email from randy at FS, he always helps me out and they are incredibly knowledgeable and always helpful. which is nice.

check the BST section and you'll see the ratio, its like 6-1 bad to good.

btw if you bought the FS stuff in your sig new you've already dealt with randy and them, why stray and buy something else?

lol godlovesugly lol. thats my year :). no but i looked at the f2 header and the FS header. an the FS looks by far the best quality made. f2 on the other hand... well looks like someone mig'd that shit and threw it together. i dont mind paying more for quality work. i mean that goes to say. you pay for what you get. FS header just loooooooooooooooks so damn pretty and well made. which brings me to the next question. how LOUD would it accually make the race exhaust sound from FS. im a big person on matching parts together. figuring that each part probly works better when its all together.

yes that's what we're saying cpz1987 (btw that's my birth year!)
the FS header wouldn't be a bad choice either.. more money but customer service is a plus.

btw, i've had a header question for a while, can you use your stock flex on the F2?
i've also heard that the F2 flex is a POS, ie. no flex!
I'll take alot of work to take off the stock flex and the F2 will not fit the automatic even with a shorter flexpipe. Their primaries will rub against the firewall.

i've got a 5speed, will the FS (cosworth) flex fit with the F2 header?

btw a header with the race exhaust would be pretty damn loud.. the stealth with the header would probably be easier to put up with for a DD.

cpz, whens your b-day?

I've had experience with both FS and F2. There is no comparison on customer service. FS ships so much faster, and they respond to your every inquiry. F2, on the other hand, ignores my emails, and voice mails, and I'm still waiting for something related to my order I placed last spring.

So based on that alone, go with FS
