Even so that piece is complete ****. Just spend $125 and get a Megan header. Atleast they are known company and from what I have read the header is really not that bad for the money you are spending.

But it's not the same. Coming from experience you get what you pay for. You see it may fit, but it wont fit well and it will most likly crack, discolor, and possibly warp because of its super cheap manufacturing. And in a worst case scenario of it warping, and becoming unable to be removed without machine work; you will be out big bucks. Just go megan and avoid these potential problems.

Quality plays a big role with performance. you definatly get what you pay for. personally i would stay with a brand that is reputable.just my two cents.

looks-sure why not for $50. if you plan on any sort of forced induction headers will have to be replaced by a turbo manifold. there wont really be a noticable difference in sound unless youi already got the exaust from the cat back. headers will be the first to rust out anyway.go for it.

The welds are almost guaranteed to crack with time. Like everyones said u get wat u pay for...this exhaust manifold might take away hp as well. The flow might be obstructed in some way. I wouldnt trust it. If u want a deep sound just run a straight pipe and throw in one of those turbo sound makers
