Aesthetics Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Has anyone used talon titanium head studs in their banshee or got any opinions? How would you even go about torquing them down I’m assuming a 12 point crows foot right for the jugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n2otoofast4u Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 They are socket head (use an Allen wrench) The question is why. Unless you are at a VERY competitive level of drag racing they make zero sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to find out they cost like 0.99 cents a piece buying in bulk from China specifically Alibaba. The brand Talon is basically non existent. What’s up with Chinese banshee parts markups, with some big ebay store sellers surpassing oem prices on CHINESE PRODUCTS WTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banshee owners are cheap as fuck and they created the market for cheap Chinese junk. Now, prices have gone up and people don't even pay attention. Then they buy junk and are upset.

Very weird, they don’t seem cheap as fuck because most of them are buying products from big banshee eBay named stores and even “reputable” banshee manufacturers that are literally selling Chinese shit 3-4 times more than the price of the regular Chinese item, just because it comes in their own labeled package. Like well known banshee part manufacturers are buying Chinese parts and engraving their name on it and presenting it like if it’s some quality part, when it’s Chinese shit. And thinking nobody will notice, and saying somehow it’s better because it has their logo lmao. I don’t know man most banshee owners don’t even have a banshee when they’re done with their build, everything is littered with Chinese aftermarket shit parts. I’m comming from the diesel world and getting into banshees and you’ll know if parts are made in china right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on ebay and then go on Alibaba and compare the part you want to buy on alibaba, its the same parts. Obviously if you buy in bulk the part will be at like 0.99 cents and maybe you have to buy 500 of them at minimum purchase amount. And yes invest 500 to make your money back etc… for business But doesn’t mean that big banshee stores have to tear everyone a new asshole and sell them at 60 dollars a pop, sometimes in the description they even LIE saying it’s a USA quality made quality part I caught many stores saying that😬 also not even saying you can negotiate the item price down with the wholesaler from Alibaba.
