Your talking about the 2" stainless one they advertise?

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F261596051901

I emailed them a year ago and they only made them in 2". Have you found any different sizes?

Looks nice.....

Generaly speaking QSC is just another China brand that is competing against EMPI and almost just as good.

Have you used their product or seen any of it in person. That's the only feedback I'm interested in.

Very Happy

I've heard to stay away from their piston/cylinder sets, a bud picked up a set and the pistons looked to have a lot of voids in the casting, so I would be inclined to agree, at least for those types of parts.

What exactly do you want to know? It will work like any other cheaper header. The quality of the stainless is low, but will provide better corrosion resistance than plain steel. This is especially important inside the header.

Try it out and let us know.

Ive seen one. not the prettiest I seen. they used to be cheep on flebay I was going to get one then I saw one at a swap meet... I didn't like all the boogers inside the collector, but!!! as cheep as the new properly made merged collectors are now it may be a good deal and cut off the collector and install a good properly made one. you could even expeariment with header lenth if you do that.G Shocked yes I forgot the g...among other things. might also be nice to step the primarrys....if it was 1 3/4" I would have one...or 2.

I said this in a facebook flat 4 group and got kicked off! Aparently asking for only peoples opinions that have used it is frowned apon. As far as this exhaust, I know nothing, sorry.
