I wouldn't.

I bought a set of headers for my Boxster from them. Advertised as compliant with all emission laws. Got them, discovered that I would have to destroy the coating to drill and weld the bungs necessary for the O2 sensors myself because "we wrote that copy in anticipation of the design change and approval from CARB" but they hadn't done the design change or submitted it. I had to argue for a week with them or they would have only refunded the actual cost of the headers and charged me for shipping both ways. Apparently, I was supposed to know that the information in the ad was published prematurely... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

But they have cool stuff... You can get Swepco just about anywhere though. Why bother with mail order for a couple bucks...

I don't recall who I was dealing with. It was a few years back.

WOT, I hate when your in the fast lane and everybody passes you in the middle lane, so you switch over into that lane only to get stuck behind another slow car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Online is my only option for getting this stuff. Not available locally. That's why I have to order it online. I would buy it from Pelican but they don't price match.
Unless ya know of a place in the KC area.

I'm wondering if Pegasus Racing in Wisconsin has it? Porsche dealers often carry it too...

I bought a set of headers from them. Price was reasonable, & service was great. Person I spoke to was a 914 guy & knew what I needed & set me up with a company to get headers coated to protect from corrosion. I recommend them.

That would be Jason, a 914 Guy, that is one of the reasons I've been buying from them so long. They have very good prices on almost every item!

Jason and the folks at Paragon are good to deal with.

But the swepco is overpriced, moreso than usual.

I tend to purchase from Pelican first then branch out to Zims or Paragon. Been happy with all three.

Ain't that the truth.


I use Coastal hypoid (available at Autozone) THOMAS recommended it for the trannys he rebuilt for me. Quality oil, a lot less expensive, and it doesn't seep through the seals (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I used to get Paragon's catalogs in the mail ... before the WWW came around.
