Default Knock-off JDM header?

Found one i can get for $125 shipped. No dents or cracks. Looks exactly the same as the authentic one. Anyone ever tried one out?

I know some people who had some fitment issues with a batch of those...
Looks like its been used for a while, so bolt it up and let us know how u like it.

Can't go wrong for $125

I've had 2 knock-off's, and they've fit just fine for me. feels stronger then stock, but 125 you can't got wrong.

They actually have knock off OEM JDM 4-1 headers? They look axactly the same as the OEM one even down to the welds.

Looks like the price is great, first of all.

But also, I was just wondering, why you want a JDM header? Does it give better flow than the USDM one, and does anyone have any dyno test or link to some article describing the difference? There was an thread up here before about fitmit issues. I guess if you get the JDM header, do you need a JDM cat and also to modify your exhaust mid-pipe (make it longer)? That's what the other article was saying.

actaully no, as long as the 4-2-1 header works and flows well from the block out to the exhuast it should be a problem and either way it would push out greater power then just stock.

i wish they made knock off shields! paying $150 for the 2 shields is not really cost effective.
