Whatever you do - if you even THINKING about getting a set, don't hsistate cos soon there will be no more then you'll be forced to overpay for a set of MSDS's
Posted By: tsSVT Re: Weapon R headers - 04/06/06 12:02 AM
I ordered mine this morning.I got lucky that I found these because my rear manifold is so clogged my car barely runs when it gets warm,and my CEL will flash .I think it's really bad when the CEL flashes at you.

a clogged cat is realy bad when your dpfe sensor and hosing for it melts like mine did. i think my egr valve is bad from that also. it opens to much and i get hesitation under 3,000 rpm.

Ummmmmm yeah, thanks for the info.. Stazi and I know eachother, so we'll limp-wrist fight if we want to. Some people don't understand the pricing structure of the MSDS headers. Nor does anyone bring into consideration that, although Weapon R uses SS piping, there's no coating to retain the heat. But yes, there are advantages to both kits. There are also disadvantages to both, but I wouldn't consider the pricing of MSDS to be one of them.

From the listing: Header design is 3-1 3 piece design

Sounds right to me.

design is all they talk about. I did email the seller to clarify, but this listing screams deception at me. Also, note there's not mention of the y-pipe anywhere, nor is it included in the picture. I'd just advise CEG to make sure they know what they're getting before they buy. I will post seller's reply ASAP...

Posted By: mySVT_dup1 Re: Weapon R headers - 04/06/06 02:21 AM
thanks for the address, but i could not find the headers on the website.
Posted By: posthuman63t Re: Weapon R headers - 04/06/06 02:22 AM
...I sent them an email about 3 weeks back about the availability of the W-R's...

...no response.

They are only showing the headers for the Zetec Cougar.
Posted By: muntus Re: Weapon R headers - 04/06/06 02:39 AM
Look under the Mercury Cougar and its there. I emailed them to get a tracking number for my shipment. It arrived in two days and the dude got back to me a week later. They're east coast, but my headers shipped from a wharehouse in San Francisco. I bet they'll take it off their site when they've exhasted(pun intended) their supply.

I just checked their site. Its no longer there.
Posted By: ConcepTrs913 Re: Weapon R headers - 04/06/06 02:56 AM
Yep.. they discontinued it...

Go on the classifieds becasue i know a few people are selling them.

Luckily i got my set about hmm yeah 2 or 3 weeks ago!

Good luck though
Posted By: bradSVT Re: Weapon R headers - 04/06/06 04:10 AM
Ya goodluck finding them. I ordered mine from an eBay dealer to be refunded right after i sent the money because he didnt have any of the headers left. I called Promotion to get them and they were at my house within two days. Still setting there being my new mirror. Post in the wanted section and try ebay.

No, the SS only keeps them from oxidizing. Wrapping or coating retains heat.

I don't know. This is from his Zetec headers' description: Header design is 4-1 2 piece design

Since these are made in China, perhaps their item descriptions in English coud use some work.
Posted By: tsSVT Re: Weapon R headers - 04/06/06 04:50 PM
I just sent him an email to verify what parts are included.Thankfully, I haven't sent payment.I'll let everyone know once he sends me an email.
Posted By: Tourige Re: Weapon R headers - 04/06/06 05:04 PM
im so glad i bought my weapon R's when they are nice and cheap, that way when i part out my car i can sell them for basically what MSDS's are going for. Muahahah

I emailed the seller 36+ hours ago, no reply by now prolly means no reply ever.
Posted By: bradSVT Re: Weapon R headers - 04/07/06 03:25 PM
email them again? and send them a seller question on ebay along with an email to their email address.
Posted By: mySVT_dup1 Re: Weapon R headers - 04/07/06 05:36 PM
I just sent him an email saying that there are at least three buyers who will take the headers off his hands once he confirms if the y-pipe is included.
Posted By: imurdaddytoo sport Re: Weapon R headers - 04/08/06 03:07 AM
been going through his feedback, there is a lot of neutral feedback saying parts were missing or broken and the seller wont resolve the issue

If you look at all the completed listing for these headers, and when i emailed a guy when he was selling a 3-1 3 piece design he said yes it did come with the y pipe...there are three pieces. Go with yout gut, but if i was going to have alot of problems finding those headers soon i would jump on them.
Posted By: bradSVT Re: Weapon R headers - 04/08/06 03:24 AM
This is what i bought, but he didnt have anymore instock. I also asked him if the 3-1 included y pipe and he agreed.

Posted By: tsSVT Re: Weapon R headers - 04/11/06 12:01 AM
I just got an email back from him,he confirmed it has "something that looks like a y".The main reason he has had neutral or negative feedback is because of poor comunication.I can now atest to that.
Posted By: mySVT_dup1 Re: Weapon R headers - 04/11/06 12:24 AM
Hey tsSVT are you going to pick one up from this guy?

I think you bought it from the same guy I did, because I posted the seller on here and remember some peopele buying it because it was a awesome deal.
Posted By: Tour_Racer00 Re: Weapon R headers - 05/03/06 07:00 AM
Anybody know where I can still buy a set of weapon R's? (I'm already trying the classifieds)
Posted By: ConcepTrs913 Re: Weapon R headers - 05/03/06 12:36 PM
I am in the middle of selling some right now. PM me so if he doesn't come through I can get a hold of you.
