Hello from a far away place called Estonia. (Just in case you don't know where it is: it a very small country -former soviet union, which recently joined EU. It is situated near the baltic sea).

I have been reading your forum for a long time already, and finally decided to ask for your advice. Here it goes:

I have a 98 Base H22 Prelude. I'm very happy with the car, but as most of us, I am looking for more power. Now the problem is that it is very hard to find good aftermarket parts here in Estonia(especially for prelude, as they are very rare here) for a decent price. There is one shop that sells mostly OBX parts (which as I understand are not so good) but for the prices around 3 times higher than you can buy them for in US.

Therefore I decided to look at Ebay for the parts and found the following header, which seems really cheap: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33631
So what I'm asking is, what do you think about it, will it make any gains at all compared to the stock header? All your feedback will be appreciated.

Also, maybe you know some good internet shops, where they accept international orders, so that I could buy stuff from there.

Thank you.

 

If it really has a 2.5 inch collector and it's really stainless steel, then for 90 bucks I don't think your gunna find anything better. Plus, it will probably out perform a DC header which would cost about $200 more then the one that you provided a link to. So when considering how hard it is for you to find good aftermarket parts, and the features on this header, I would have to say go for it .

 

it dont look like 2.5'' i would ask if he could prove it

 

Looks like a megan header. Not bad. There's a review of it somewhere here.

 

It's very inexpensive for a header. Keep in mind that you usually get what you pay for. I've bought relatively inexpensive parts before and sometimes they need a little tlc to make them work properly

 

Thank you all for your feedback. I think I will go for it - it is really cheap anyways
I just hope it doesn't need much work to make it fit.

 

be sure to look at shipping costs too!

Well, shipping costs are quite high, but even when you consider them, it is still 2.5 times cheaper than the cheapest OBX header here.

 

Its not a 2.5 collector beacause I have the same exact one, but it is a good buy none the less.
