I have a chance to buy this header. It's made by KCR Innovation.
$80 brand new. Someone locally is selling it.
Any opinions on it ?

 

What size is the collector?

i wonder why they are dirt cheap

 

original polish on that header?

 

haha 12.oo hahaha

 

It looks like typical ebay/megan/ssac quality.

I had one and the collector snapped in half after 3 months. My buddy gave me another one he had laying around and I've been rocking it for a while now. It's already started to crack. I just hope it lasts me til I go turbo.

 

I've been running a used Ractive header for almost a year now without any problems so far..

Im not worried.. just wanna know more about these headers, since they are so cheap on ebay.

 

My only question is why would you even think about putting "****" on a rose?

I'd check those motor mounts. Sounds like your engine is flexing lots.

I ran a super ghetto ebay header on my LS for a few months. No issues at all ever. Fitment was subpar, but whatever.

 

Ive put a few of these style headers on customers cars with no issues.

Lol, they're urethane filled, pretty damn stiff.

You would be surprised at how much a urethane filled mount will flex when under load. I did the same to mine and you can see places where the urethane is damaged from flexing.

Still, they're definitely stiffer than stock mounts, and stock mounts shouldn't flex enough to damage a quality piece. (Which these are not.)

 

looks like a Fujitsubo replica.

 

it's 12 dollars, you dont have much to lose

 

I rocked a Megan for over two years with no problems. Maybe their "superior" quality has started to go downhill.

 

Not only 12$ shipping is 40$.
Thats how ebay gets you they will put the price cheap, so you buy it, then when u look at the shipping its jacked up 3 times t he cost it takes to ship it, thats where they make there money and you fell for it.

 

still a good deal over a 300+ dc or similar product.

say it snaps in half every few months, you're still money ahead.

 

just get it and throw it on there. What's $60?

 

Yeah that looks just like the headers all the mexicans get around here. I have a mexican friend that runs a car dealership in town and I do his mechanic work. So I end up putting all the headers and fart cans ect ect ect for all the mexicans in this town, I haven't heard anything bad about them from any of those guys....

Actually if you read the description I am sure they list the shipping charge. The reason they do that is to keep their ebay listing and selling fees down which can add up fast if you sell allot of stuff.

 

For that money they can't hurt. OEM sucks hairy *******.

Get one, go to town on it with a grinder (if you even work on your own car except to wash it) and make sure it's super clean before you fire it up.

oh, don't get the spray you used under the hood on the plastic on them. That **** stains.
