OP F*ck what everyone says about you should get this you should get that... its your money and your car, buy what you can afford, and a header isn't going to make that big of a difference, even an ITR header. Also keep up posted on how long this thing holds up, the welds dont look bad but I'm expecting them to snap, hopefully I'm wrong...good buy for only 100 bucks.

I know it is an eBay header.

He never asked for opinions on it. I don't know what the **** he wanted by making this thread. If he really wants my opinion here it is:

As stated the welds look decent but they probably wont hold up too long. I would have saved that $100 and saved up for a nicer header. It is your money and your car so do what you want though. I just wouldn't rely on eBay to build your car for you.

i looks good but dont expect years out of it, if you already had to mod it to get it to fit, that should be the first sign

word, your post looked to say otherwise, like you were questioning if it was ebay...but i definitely agree that it may not hold up long... Im actually about half tempted to buy one too though, and if it breaks in 6 months, then oh well...ill have my car boosted in 6 months so its all good. But OP hope this thing holds up for you.

looks exactly like my obx header, it works great just missing the badge on the 3rd pipe, looks good bro, may not make crazy power but it works for what looks like a DD car, money saved now get some underdrive pulleys and a velocity stack with moeny saved.

I have a Cheap JVT racing Ebay Header(80$) on my LS...Didn't run it long before the gasket between the upper and lower section of the header blew. So I had to get some exhaust putty/sealent to fix it. But so far the welds are holding up. Been running it a year a few months now.

The only reason I got it though was because I was running short on Dough but needed a header..the price was right at the time..and I still don't know how much actual difference there would be between this Ebay one I have and the "Whats suppose to be better DC Sports"...

Well..maybe the DC Sports Header isn't as good as there made out to be...and with a 150$ to 200$ price tag over the the 80-100$ ebay headers its probably really not worth it.

Mines just gotta last another 6-8 months..once I get my Turbo I of course have no use for this Header.

P.S. Love your Avatar Rick!

LMAO at all the "experts" that have never used ebay products. I have an ebay header on my 03 k24 accord now. Been good for almost 2 years. Ive had an ebay header on my crx for almost 3 years now, that one I got for $50 shipped. The accord one was $103 shipped. I also installed an ebay header on my buddy's 92 si and his has been fine for 2 years now.

on my accord, I also have an ebay:

Exhaust
test pipe
rear camber kit
8lb flywheel
and intake


when will people learn to stop listening to what the other sheeple are saying and just at least be honest and say " it looks nice but Im not experienced with them so ill keep my fat mouth shut"



Nice header man. Itll last you for sure as long as you installed it properly with either a flex section or the spring bolts and donut gasket. *thumbs up*

Some EBAY stuff seems to be ok...but do some searches and you will find where alot of ebay stuff has failed.

I think the biggest problem people run into with cheap ebay stuff is that there is little to no R&D invested(one reason its so cheap I think)so things don't always fit correctly.

There have been TONS of people that bought EBAY turbo cast manifolds and they would not fit..TONS of people that bought cheap S.S. Ebay Turbo manifolds only to have them crack.

Some people get lucky with ebay stuff..as said my EBAY header has been fine except for the middle gasket blowing out.

But it seems more people have problems with ebay things than people who don't...or..is that because the people that have had great luck don't post about it and those who have bad luck for sure do? Theres another question in itself.
