Anybody get heads from "BuyAFR.com"

Has anybody bought their AFR heads from this website??? I know that it's not a Airfllow research site, although it looks like it......They state that they have lots in stock therefore have fast shipping times....

I'm gonna step up and go with the best, just don't want the lag time. Unfortunately there isn't an authorized dealer even remotely close to me...!

Side note: For those that have AFR 180's do you wish that you woulda bought the 195's?

Thanks in advance

Highly reccommend AD performance. A couple years back some new AFRs were shipped with bad valves I think, and the guys there took care of my return and shipped then back to me in less than two weeks and this was right at Christmas. Easy to reach and very accomodating.

Re: Anybody get heads from "BuyAFR.com"

So I ordered my Eliminator 180's from ADPerformance and they should be arriving this week..... Brian Adams has kept me informed on the progress of my order, which has prevented me burning a paced hole in my lining room carpet.
I can't wait to see them!!!!
Looks like I'll be selling my 305 S/R Torquers

BIG BIG THANKS TO BRIAN AT ADPERFORMANCE

Re: Anybody get heads from "BuyAFR.com"

i got mine from brain and adperformance also, about a year or so ago. i got the 195cc eliminators. he was very informative and helpful in every way. i believe he is also on this board. i paid $1199 for my set and he had them shipped from afr to him, and them to me to avoid the taxes since afr and myself are located in california. took 1 week longer, but that didnt matter since i just looked at them for a good month before i put them to use.

How the hell did you get new AFRs for $1200?
