first two pictures r nismo header i bought

and third picture is nismo header sells on nissanusa.com

does know what happened?

 

yours are not real

 

adam - are any of those real? i've never seen that badge before.
nismo headers i've seen have a much more subtle logo piece...

 

can anyone verify who's the manufacturer?

 

the ones in the third pic are real

as far as who makes yours, no clue, but it's not NISMO

 

how are you so sure the first two are not nismo?

 

I have the same ones you bought op. They came in a Nismo/Nissan box.

 

Part # FPIM-0300 B&B High Performance Headers for 350Z:

because this is what I do for a living, and I see NISMO headers week in, week out as they are sold, and none of them look like the first 2 pictures because those are not genuine parts

 

I don't know if they are or aren't...but they look pretty solid to me.

 

Looks can be deceiving. Quality parts depend on fitment and durability not look.

 

they definitely are NOT authentic. authentic nismo headers have the word nismo die cut and not printed.

 

also, those welds look like chit compared to the real nismo headers.

Mine look like these except there is a badge welded to them where these are etched. The badge has production date and some kind of model or serial number. Mine were made in 2007 according to the badge. Also came in a genuine Nismo/Nissan box. Possible they just changed there markings..

 

maybe the guys at nismo got lazy and you happen to get it lulz

 

ppwpz33, I see you are selling the same headers:

The Nismo box looks like the same one the cold air intake comes in. Is there a part # listed on the box?

 

whoever is making these fake nismo headers should get sued

 

Here's what I got.. Took a few more pics.

 

Interesting. I found 2 links stating that Nismo headers were made by B&B when I googled "Nismo headers made by B&B.". That would explain the B&B part # on the badge.

 

lulz what if they really are nismo headers
