helping a budddy look for an exhaust setup for his 98 prelude project car. my first thought is they are a bit sketchy, but anyone running generic ebay headers like these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors....m245 with good luck? not super concerned with the small collector just that they will not crack and that the flanges will seal.
am i correct in thinking a megan unit would be the next step up from an ebay unit?

on that note, anyone have a header they would sell?

 

eBay header here...probably for about a year and a half. No issues.

 

Got one here, fits and works just fine, except my car is so low I am killing it!

 

Had one on my car, the flex pipe developed a leak hole in 9 months after use, had to buy another downpipe

 

SH or base model??

 

i agree with snobordboi...good besides bein low kills em...the gaskets are a lil cheap...i've had mine for bout 2months and already gotta replace the gaskets

 

buy something nice or leave it stock.

From everything I've read, and I've checked into this a lot, eBay headers like this generic piece have the exact same diameters as the stocker. So what's the point? It might look pretty for a couple of weeks, but then the cheap stainless finish will turn yellow/brown. Although, I have been considering getting one just to mod the collector and see how well it works.

 

the car was bought without any exhaust at all and a stock setup would be preferred but cannot be found around here. looks like we will be going with the ebay headers, thanks for the input everyone.

 

People with hondas are always replacing their stock exhaust with aftermarket stuff. Are you sure you looked?
