Just gonna tell you. You get what you pay for.

 

Well, if your looking for a replacement, yes. For power no. But most likely they will break or crack.

 

just do it right the first time around and you'll be much happier

Word! I wouldnt even dare put those on my lude

 

Haha ha ha

 

Actually, I bought some like those a year ago and they're holding up fine. I encouraged my friend to get the Civic version ($40 shipped) and they were of amazing quality

 

I actually just ordered Megan Race header and I should be getting it this week...maybe tomorrow. But I wouldnt go with anything lower than a Megan one...and thats like 130shipped

 

they compared the megan one with the stock h22a and it was very similar with the megan with little gains but a good replacement for the stock one.

 

I would be concerned with Worse than stock flow from something that cheap. With the price of steel these days they must be stealing them!

The megan prolly isn't BAD, but $40?? Thats excessively cheap.

Thats why I said, I wouldnt go with anything cheaper that no one has tried out.

Did you not read what I said? I have tried them out. Almost a year now. They're great. In the time I've had mine on, I've seen plenty of people crack their DC and Megan headers

Ooops lol, My bad...I didn't read yours. BUT....You also have the H23 correct? They make a huge difference on the H23 but I have read that they dont do anything for the H22.

 

Yeah. I'm not saying the gains are great (as far as the H22 is concerned), but the quality is just fine. You can expect the same gains as a Megan or DC (3whp maybe) but for a fraction of the price

 

eBay I say for $40 give em a try, but as everyone has said don't be expecting much as far as gains.

 

i'd say go for it....40 bucks is cheap....you get what you pay for though...so don't expect much.

 

Headers like those are for REPLACEMENT ONLY. DONT put those on if your looking to performance.

 

the chrome plating will chip off and it will still rust, probably easier than a ceramic coat would...

 

i got my new dc header for free

anyways its been a while since i had it but you do get slight power gains...not much tho.

if i was balla status i would buy a RMF header or a SMSP. correct me if im wrong but some people had gotten 20 whp off these.

I believe that's with a good tune though....

 

in previous threads people have actually seen that the oem h22 exhaust manifold out performs those POS ebay headers. But its your car your money take from this what you want.

FIRM believer in YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
