Hard price to beat, but you still need piping for the exhaust system. Also, I wouldn't expect the parts to last too long before they start rusting and/or cracking.

Yeah, the welds actually look pretty nice.

I have a cheap eBay "high-flow" cat on my car. It looks just like the one in the picture, I've had it on there for 2 years and it's still shinny... no cracks, rust, discoloration, nothing.

If the header and muffler are anything like the cat, then I might try it. You never know. I'm not going to knock it just because it's cheap.

Probably won't make as much power as a name brand header, but you don't expect it to right?

I say go for it. And post up your impressions when you use it.

that looks exactly like a DC header of the comparitive style, only the welds look *better* than DC. It has correct merges on the pipes, welds look good, piping is nice and straight, should be great for the money.

i think i actually bought some headers from dynasty auto, at first i thought they were no name, just some cheap stuff to get me by, but when they arrived, they ended up being Megan racing.

I'd go with something I don't have to wonder about's quality.

How does this sound

# 4-2-1 Light-weight Racing Design. 15% lighter than stock header
# Made from stainless steel mandrel bent pipes


would a header made from mandrel bent pipes be good?

well i was looking into that but i went for something thats alil bit more better. look for Tsudo or Megan headers, I hear alot of good stuff about those, I got Megan headers and a Tsudo exhaust, not loud (cherry bomb), nice and low tone but agressive when you hit high RPM's and vtec kicks in, only $135 bucks not bad.

not to flame but thats some cheap lookin **** and the stuff u get always doesnt look like the stuff in the pics. Nothings to good to be true especially in the tuner world (least for me, well cept for getin my rex!) so id vote stay away or i think itll work against u l8r down the road.

Looks nice right now, but once things start rusting out, you might end up buying some parts to replace that stuff. In most cases you get what you pay for...
