Default Used Race spec header

I've got a nice deal on a Race "spec" header in my area. Here are some pictures. The header is rusting; he told my they are 1,000 miles in. Is this a three-hundred dollar header? Could I polish it easily?

Edit: Does anyone know the clearance with a B16 and this header?

By 'spec' do you mean copy? Because that doesn't look like any SMSP header I've ever seen. IE: Formed collector, not merged and mild steel.

Paul said it was custom made for him with $MSP specs and the setup made 232 horsepower.


Yes, these pictures are his.

Sorry to say, but somebody lied to you.

That is not my header.

It looks like a copy of a RMF drag header and a very poor one at that.

Please remove my company's name from your post.

I personally think that defeats the purpose of this thread as if it was a good header. He might of mistaken the name. Feedback anyone?

Edit: I looked at all this information wrong. I will look for an alternate header.

even if it's a copy...


for 300 bucks, if it <U>makes power</U>, slap it on.
if you are worried about how it looks, <U>get it coated</U>.

talk him down to 280, and feel even better about it.

obviously it is a copy. and obviously the time and effort arent even close to that randy whatshisface puts into his stuff.

but, if someone had that thing ceramic coated and it didnt look like 7 pounds of **** in a 5 pound bag, would the opinions of it be so negative?

I didn't say it won't work,I was just showing the difference.That header there will work EZACTLY the same as that compact header copy that the guy is selling on here.If it had a merge collector it would be fine .Just don't open your hood.
