Default Question about headers

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6770

Do you guys think that these will work like the seller is claiming? Oh and is this a new design for the 4-1 headers cause I have never seen this before. Any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and God Bless!!

simliar in design to the older kamikaze headers.. which only worked well with a JRSC or supercharger system.. it's not worth it if the company can not back it up with extensive testing on a dyno or such

I don't ever believe anything that says 1st- "Will give 18-20 whp" and then states "Dyno testings will be done soon". But personally, I don't think that header will produce those gains. Keep us posted on what you might find out though.

Looking at my DC JDM and at that header, that e-bay crap is probably worse than the stock exhaust manifold. Looks like mild steel spray painted gray, and look at that collector it's tiny. Dont buy that!

i hope it wasn't you who bought those. most clamis on ebay of any hp is fake, unless they are selling a specific brand name product that you can actually research. there are some exceptions.

Not sure on your setup, but if your SN suggests your car...

There's no point buying a header for a DX, unless you like paying 250-350$ for 1-3hp.
