$52 header what can I lose? $52.

The mid-section (A-pipe) gasket wiggled a little bit so I opened it back up and applied Permatex Ultra Copper RTV gasket maker on the gasket itself. You can see where it came out on the sides when I put it back together.


But when I tried installing it on the car, the collector was a good 2½ inches away from the cat. There is no way it was going to fit and get a good seal. So I put on my stock manifold. It was a TunerPros header.

The End.

What did you expect for $50?

What's new?

thats what happens when ya go cheap. do it right or dont do it at all is what i always say.

is this a b series header? I know the older gsr header is shorter than the ls/b16 ones. if its a d series header ?

Frost7177

all the ebay headers are junk. Half the stuff on ebay that they say is real like vis cf hoods takata harness are all copyoffs that are just labeled and shipped.

esean93

they are actually not too bad you just have to check the deminsions before you buy it.is your exhaust system all stock(besides the header)?if yes then the header was never going to bolt on to your cat without some work anyways.

Rok_Stok

It's for a D-series. I don't usually go cheap, I have a RS*R Exmag, Koni Yellows, H&R Race springs, Spoon shift ****, Skunk2 shifter, ES bushings, yadda yadda, actually that's about it.

But I'm broke as a joke in college right now and wanted cheap performance. Some people are like "OH YEAH WHAT A GREAT DEAL NO PROBLEMS!" So I took a chance. I put the thing on and said are you #@!%ing kidding me?

I've seen some eBay header that didn't fit that well but haven't ever seen one that didn't fit at all.

It is not uncommon to have to use an extension for the headers to fit. They are for more then one model , no?
A muffler shop will not charge that much to make it work.

You got what you paid for.

I got a ebay header on my sohc right now i do agree you get what you pay for (most of the time) mine had a damn pin hole in it (already fixed) other than that i really havent had any problems with it bolted up no problems.

batallic

take it to a muffler shop they'll weld a piece of metal from the collector to the cat

No, it's not the length, it's 2½ inches to the side of the cat. That's way too far.

If you have any iffy feelings about something you probably shouldnt be buying it...

However it wont be hard for you to fix. Put it on and sav it out and just drive it to your local exhaust shop and have them fab up a mid pipe between the flange and the cat and your good to go.

Most of the time **** like this never fits anyways, like testpipes etc... part of the game. hope for the best, expect the worst ( in some cases )

Too short, sounds like you got a 92-95 DX header thinking it would be the same.

ak74

Very true.

1LowSol

Lol everyone calm down. Take it to a muffler shop and have them throw a small pipe on there for like 20 bucks. 50 for the header, plus 20 for the pipe to make it work is still cheaper than a top dollar header. And they work fine. Unless your at around 300 or 400 HP your prolly not going to be able to tell the differance.

Rok_Stok

No, not too short, the angle is wrong, its completely to the side of the cat. Length is fine.

workinman

thanks for the heads up i almost bought from the same seller.

Rok_Stok

No problem. Here's how it fits:

EMClmn

Sorry to hear about that. I'll have to remember the seller.

vsmhatched

trustdestruction

bossm
