Hey guys,
I don't think these Ebay 02 housings would have every caught on at all had we not done back to back testing on the dyno of them and found that the good quality one is an actual good improvement on the car. With that said........
We buy these about 20 at a time now, have them shipped in, unbox them, send them back out to have them ceramic coated, pay to ship them back in and rebox for shipping. Not sure what the current pricing is but we sell them ceramic coated for $195. Believe it or not by the time we ship them 3 times and have them ceramic coated the profit margine drops considerably. I think we end up at about 20%, which is not a large margin.
What I am getting at is, we aren't making a killing, we did the testing to put a stamp of approval on this part. IF you order from us you are gauranteed to get the correct one and not have to mess with Ebay or some company that might stick it to you. IF we ended up with the ugly one that doesn't look like it flows well, WE'D send them back and have to handle it.
Just making a simple point. Do what you'd like with it.

Question, Mr. Buschur.
Say I would like to buy a o2 housing from you? Does it have to be ceramic coated? And how much better is it to have this service done as oppose to no coating?
I will be getting my refund soon so I will have a chance to redeem myself.
Thanks

We don't sell them uncoated. I figure the only reason someone is going to take the time to buy it from us is it is a little different than the Ebay piece. I guess now that isn't so much the case as now the Chinese are ripping off the other Chinese ideas
How ironic, huh? haha
I think the coating helps keep the temps down and with the deletion of the heat shields when you install one of these housings it's not a bad way to spend a little money.

I am given them the benefit of the doubt, if they don't respond in 7 days, i will commence the paypal refund.
I already have plans for ppi coated o2 housing regardless

im not gonna leave any feedback, they get way too many sales for someone to really see something they plan on buying. plus theyll leave a dumba$$ neg feedback on mine as well. i took the one and only chance with them and it was a risk to begin with. ill buy another o2 on ebay, but i will ask in email what will be sent before hand, and make sure theres not 2 different items on one pic.

Got an email from SSA today.
It looks like they are taking care of me. So far other than getting the wrong o2 housing. They are being very professional. Here is the email

>>Ok no problem. At this point I can do a call tag which means that Fedex
can come pick up the item and send it back to us . What would you like
to have happen once its back in our hands .REfund or replacement of the
correct item ? Let me know so I can proceed . thanks
