Those god damn bastards, they update all the mistakes and disclaimers once we say something. Their watching this thread carefully.

I just hope they step up and do some major improvements if they want us to buy from them.

& if they are watching, rather than improving their service & taking the opportunity to correct frustrations that they cause the customer, they double down on being right

Bought a front battery tray from them about 10+ year ago - they finally sent it out 8 months after continuously hounding them. Was ok quality, but need modification to fit correctly.

I would never buy from them again (especially after all these horror stories) unless it was something I could walk into their "store" physically see it and walk out with.

Well now I'm sad.
I've been out of the loop for a long time. Last Fiero I owned I gave up over a decade ago until just last week. Now we find it has TONS of exhaust leaks around the headers and Y-pipe that I WAS going to resolve with a purchase from West Coast Fiero's offerings.
With all this bad publicity, is there ANYONE else that sells nice headers like the one's described on WCF's website? Was specifically looking at the "Shorty" headers.
I noticed that since leaving the Fiero community all those years ago that The Fiero Store has massively reduced it's inventory. I know they used to sell some nice "Sprinter" headers for the V6 but alas that is no more :-(.
Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks for the head's up on this outfit. Will avoid.

I just ordered and received F23 brackets from WCF. They were a little late, and communication could have been better, but they look good. I won't know for a month or two if they actually fit

I also have a set of their 3800 headers on my car for the last number of years, and they don't leak at all. They were purchased by the previous owner, so I have no idea if they actually do anything for performance, etc.

Unless you have a highly modified 2.8/3.1, I am not sure how much benefit headers will make, compared to just porting out the stock manifolds a bit. Good luck with your search

I would not go so far as to say WCF is dishonest but sometimes they can be very short on customer service. Personally I have not had any problems with their products and service but others have. Most swap parts are built to order and if you buy a set of headers from them you may experience a long delivery time. I would ask for a delivery quote before ordering anything from WCF.
