Just saw them. They look nice but the feedback would have me hesitating to buy!

XS makes crap, I have heard some bad stories about them.

I've got a set of XS power headers on my truck, and they are great. They have been on there for a year now and they still look good with no leaks. I forgot how much they were, but they were worth the money.

Those headers are not a bad deal for the money but I can tell you, it takes a ton of work to make them fit.We completely rewrked a set to fit for a customer recently.
-the crossover is not even close, you need to buy a 90deg elbow and cut the pipe in about 4 places before adding it.
-The pass header must have the pipe where the crossover connects cut off and angled away from the A-Arm and rotated.
-The crossover flanges must be removed from the crossover and both headers, they are not tall enough to seal AND they are not anywhere thick enough to be squeezed by the v-band clamp they supply. If you tighten the v-band all the way upyou can pull the pipes apart to make a 1/4" gap.
- I dont know about a downpipe, we cut a 3.5" Houston pipe to make it fit.I wish I would have taken some pics of the process.

Thanks for that info Bill. I was wondering about them, but just seemed awfully cheap for how good they looked. I would always be careful with a vendor that is not familiar to the Buick community.

That isn't the XS I was talking about. I was thinking XS engineering, not XS power.
Anyhoo, this looks like the kit my buddy just put on his STi. A full turbo back 3" exhaust for $400 and he had to give them pictures. Everything went on w/o a hitch. Wonder if they are worth it?

The headers in those two links are completely different sets. Not even close to the same.

I was thinking the exact same thing.
