There are many problems with no-name headers. Try to add detail and form complete thoughts if you want quality help.

- goods: cheap, and add power

- bads: no R&D behind them like other name brands, may not make as much power as name brands, it may say its coated with high temp paint but its actually not, some have weak design (friends OBX header snapped in half)

Personal Preference: I don't skimp where it's important. SOME PARTS you can get by on non-brand name and when I say those parts are not vital, I mean something frugal like Hoses, lines, Gas Cap, Radiator Cap, Pedals, Shift *****, ect...cosmetic things...Don't SKIMP on vitals. Go with Brands, ontop of usually performing better and having R&D..most importantly they usually have better WARRANTIES as well and you want that.

Agreed... friend of mine bought one of the headers off ebay and it ran and sounded like poop. Don't cut corners when it comes to horsepower and reliability... Like above said, MOST dealers with the big name headers provide warrenties, ebay does not.

Not to mention most of those cheap headers won't actually give you more hp than stock on a prelude, some even get you less. If you want to make horsepower dish out a little more and get a tri y replica if you are on a budget. With those cheap headers all you really are buying is bling...
