YES!!!!!!!

I got the crappy one too!

The inside is actually pitiful. The welds on the outside look bad but the inside is terrible. The pictures do not do it justice.

If you look at the auction, it has a picture of BOTH of these o2 housings, so I dont know where your going with that, because they obviously know that, and covered there asses about it, there not stupid.

The o2 housing that i installed with the bung on the bottom was in good shape. The inside was clean, the welds were good and overall looked like a decent piece to me. The inside of the one I installed Kind of looked ported.

How did the power gain feel? I'd like to see a back-to-back comparison on how much different the power is on these o2 housings.

I have filed a claim with paypal, but KartaRailed pointed out that there IS both housing shown. That sucks... alot. SO I will probably lose the dispute. And when I do I will install the o2 housing and be done with it. I just hope it wasn;t a waste of money...

WTF..












No offense-but what do you expect?


Stick with reputable vendors in the future.

Not sure if you looked at my earlier post of the email from SSAUTO (#48). I asked him specficially about the different pics. And he gave me a TOTAL BS ANSWER. What is up with that!

Correct me if I'm wrong but.. Don't most vendors who sell an SS o2 Housing just resell an eBay one?

Have you asked the Vendors this-or have they come out and publicly stated as such?
