Default "Spoon" headers from ebay?


Hey new here.

I was looking around at ebay for a exhaust header for my 1998 Integra type-r.
Dont know the engine code but the cars is that modell with 4 circular headlights.

Well nuff aboute that, the question is, i found this and a lot more cheat "Spoon" headers at ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW

Those it give any prominent increase of the engines output compared to stock header?
Hows the quality? How much can i expect?
And its a copy? Just to cheap to be the real thing?


Searched but didnt find anything

He knows its not real but I can see how the ? confused you.

I wouldn't know much about copy headers but it usually comes under the philosophy of you get what you pay for. I haven't seen many people use copies on here.

I'd be willing to bet that header would make less power than your stock ITR header, not to mention that ebay headers are known to crack and have fitment issues. Refer to this thread in the civic forum which a guy gets completely owned by an ebay header and ends up switching back to his stock manifold.

Search around honda-tech for "ebay header" and you will come up with a lot of similiar horror stories about ebay headers. The bottom line: you get what you pay for.

haha was a bit tierd when i wrote that


Well after reading that other post here on the forum aboute the ebay headers i´ll rather burn those $$ than buying that pice of crap *me goes out and burns the money*

Well then the questisn is, what header should i use to get more torque and hp at high revs?

I´m just gonna tune intake, the exhaust part and reprogram the databox (or what its called, cant remember )
