50mm intake, was Re: ebay link



Hey Jeff,

I spoke with Eric something at SuperSprint NA about two months ago. I
finally got my header from a jerkoff in Canada that took 6 months to
actually ship it out. Gave me all sorts of excuses. Anyway, finally got it.
It didn't have the coupler, bolts and springs to mount it up to my cat.
Called around and everyone said to got direct. So Eric told me that they
blew out all their inventory and wouldn't be able to get me anything for my
scirocco. Even replacement parts. I purchased the muffler about a year ago
from TKO motorworks in Auburn when SuperSprint NA was clearing out all
Disco'd inventory. I got the 2nd to last one in the US. Tried to buy a
header and midpipe to complete it. My guy at TKO tried to get them for about
6 months and came up with nada. He was dealing with his contact at
SuperSprint NA. I guess they were trying to get them from Italy and boated
over. Italy didn't have any left and weren't making anymore. So my search
began for a header, used or new. Found a used one in Quebec. Guy had the
header and was trying to get me the coupler but that turned out badly. Watch
out for vortexer by the name of shaggy. You'll most likely get your stuff
but it will take about 6 months. He's cool but a flake.

Anyway. If you were able to get stuff through them you are a luckier man
than I. After about 20 emails to SuperSprint not returned and 4-5 calls to
them to come up with zero. They had no headers and 16v A1 zero when I
called.

Thanks!!!
