did a search already.. and nothing really came up. about the ebay ones.. maybe i'm typing it in wrong or something. but putthing " ebay header, ebay tri y header" those words don't work on the search instead of just putting HEADER. and getting a gang load of junk that i'll have to go through. even if i put tri y header theres only one link that talks about the header on ebay.. but nothing really about it being good... that wont crack or anything at all... but some guidance would be nice... if you can maybe show me some power words to search for?

ok so what ive heard...
their a descent header and cheaper on ebay than in the marketplace
pretty good quality(obvioulsy not top of the line being a replica an all)
no replies about cracking just that the ground clearance sucks if your car is lowered more than 1.5"
they dont crack but easily dent(again you get what you pay for)

i think from what i've read, it seems to be a pretty reliable header
Oh yea one person said they were having fitment issues but i think he bought one for a different model honda

if i find anything else ill let you know but i think its a descent investment

Ive got one for my LS... havent got the swap in the car yet, but fitment and workmanship seems OK. Its pretty damn difficult to fit the 2 pieces together unless you have a friend help. Since the steel shifts a bit after it cools and expands a few times once you get it at your doorstep, the pipes usually dont line up 100%. I got mine on my own with help of a pipe expander. I had to flare out the ends of the primaries just a bit to get them started on the pipes.

I give it a 8/10 mainly due to it being damn nice for 200-250 dollars.

If you are throwing this on a B20, then you'd be happier with the "bigtube" version.

Cool... thanks for the help guys. But wondering would i need to weld the two piece together? The headers is pretty much drop in and bolt down. Since my vic is dropped with Eibach i'll be having a nice time with the bumps and trying to miss hitting the header. BUT "HITF8" please do let me know what you think of it.
