After you get them give us pictures and let us know how it went
hmm if i was to spend money on a header i would atleast want something that was equal length....
ill believe it when i see it.....pics please!
here is a start here is the link for which i ordered them from
got them already from ups and waiting to put them in they are a direct fit

interesting...
ahh yes isnt it headers for all. look what yee has given to thee. aveo want headers almighty site giveth thee headers. lol. tempting huh. BUY IT AND ADD SOME PONIES TO THOSE WHEELS MIKE LETS GET THIS THING GOING
it would be a waste of money for me to buy these headers, i goin boost and already got a turbo manifold so... if i was stayin NA and had proof that these fit... we will just say my paypal acct would be drained.
Because I am a strong believer in the belief that there are alot of fakes/scams/poorly made products for the aveo, or at least can fit on it - but not be made for the aveo... I ALWAYS look at such products as bad or fake until someone convinces me otherwise, when it's something serious, like headers, or engine parts, ect, I pay even more particular attention - or even see it for myself...
Because of my pre-conditions, I looked over what it says and it raised about 4 red flags that I look for...
(#1) If it's being sold by a website that isn't the manufacturer, I always always back check the product, to see where it comes from, if it's made by a company, I google it. fortunately 1 red flag went down because there is such a manufacturer called dynomax (add a .com to the name), and yes they do make headers...
(#1.5) However after finding the site, I tried to check if there were indeed headers specifically for the Aveo just like your ad says, and dynomax's complete catalogue says NO. The product you bought was actually a universal header for Chevy blocks for roadsters and rods, it's described as a "multi-fit", so it's pretty much universal - which again is bad because then it's not specifically for the Aveo...
(#2) The image on the website you bought it from is accurate of the headers you're buying, it's the exact same headers from the catalogue. So there is no "bait and switch"... HOWEVER, looking at the headers, I realized the ultimate red flag of them all!!! (And it will be the same reason why you'll eventually try to refund it)... It's because the header design is TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE AVEO'S HEADERS. Why? Because the header you bought is like this... (O's = holes): -O---OO---O-, the headers on a real Aveo are like this: -O--O--O--O-, LOOK FOR YOURSELF! The headers are wrong. And so were you.
(#3) (After #2 is there any other proof you need?) Looking at the ad from the website you bought them from, where it describes the headers underneath the name (in blue), the 3rd red flag was the fact that the Aveo was not mentioned anywhere in the description. The only thing that says it's for an aveo is the sub-name, the word "Aveo" isn't even in the primary product name! That's a huge red flag because that means they can put literally any car name in the same spot and people will believe it's for their car too. Normally, when you read an ad online, usually in the description it will mention what that product is made for, if not then they can just copy and paste that description to use it for the same product for a different car without having to edit it.
(#4) What kind of idiot actually tries to paint something that reaches temps above 400 degrees? Honestly that's just stupid as f*ck! At those temps the paint just burns off, besides, it looks to me like the headers are made from stainless, or at least chromed, either way both metals don't hold paint very well, if it's chromed that's even worse, chrome is just a shell coating like an M&M, if you expand the chocolate inside from heat, the shell cracks, that and the fact that crome changes colors from extreme heat makes it look cheap... But the other side is that if it's painted, then it might mean they are trying to hide the materials used for it, either because it's bad quality so it rusts, or warps, or has bad/cheap welds, it's just covering up defects.
Simply put, you fell for the universal use product that has cookie cutter descriptions, but it's disguised by adding your car's name to it.
Sorry bud... "Buyer beware"...
...Honestly people need to do their research better...
thanks for that goast
back to square one...
i was talking with dan about this last night and was comparing the img to a pic of the flanges that gseturbo had made, after talkin a bit, we decided that it could just be a generic img used by the site just for promotional purposes. but until we see it installed on an aveo we wont know for sure.
True, see this exhaust paint on my header, it peels off after few thousands km. The heat peels it off. I am going to get it ceramic coated abt 150 US dollar which is said to be able to reduce engine bay temperature and improve air intake temp coolness, resulting in slight better performance.

when u get ceramic coated pieces, or hi temp paint painted pieces, ur not just supposed to put it on and drive off. u install it, turn on the car and let it run for about 10-20 minutes at idle to let it set on. thats what i was told anyways after i painted my headers and then just drove around. the paint peeled pretty qwik.
that is a crap load of money for a ceramic coat. I just dropped off a turbo mani, intake mani, and a turbo for 200.
PLEASE do a dyno run before and after the install.
Read g0ast's post... doubt there will be an install.Quote:

why doubt that? cuz this is the f'n internet where BS abounds.
Plus aveo's aren't listed anywhere in the Dynomax catalog.
not to argue or anything but when i ordered my eagle eye taillights, the 07 aveo was not listed on the eagle eye site or catalog yet.
sorry been busy with work and not. i will get pics on tomorrow got to wait to get a new cable for my camera or memory card reader
oh one issue to know about the damn oxygen sensor i noticed, there is no fitting for it on these headers so i have to relocate o2 sensor right after headers
and mike d. is right when you install any painted or what not headers you make sure your car is cold at first not warm at all. then after install you let the car warm up till temp gauge rises 1/4 of the way. then shut off for about 20 min. then turn back on and let temp gauge rise half. and shut off for 20 min. then turn back on and the paint or ceramic or whatever will always stay. of course time and heat has its course on anything so eventually it will peal but not for a long time.
later
You are better off taking it to a shop and having them put in an O2 sensor bung. it is cheap and that way you keep it in the stock location.

been a week, where's the pics? ...I'm a bit skeptical :|
I knew this was to good to be true. They probably sent him civic headers or something.
