are they that bad?

 

there oke i guess better then stock lol well if u got a stick dx enethying is better then stock lol

 

i suggest you stay away from Ebay headers
most of them are no better then your stock ones

 

I bought one and the paint just burned and chipped away. And when I bashed it, It gave a massive dent in the center with the exposed pipes
I would not recommend it, too dull and fragile. Stock headers are heavier and strong.

omg do some re search this thread is a bunch of noobs giving noobs advice. Do SEARCH for good headers but any header is better than a stock one!!

 

I am an owner of an Ebay header, and I will tell you right now it is 100% worth the money spent. I am entirely happy with mine. My Civic has gone airborn, bottomed out too many times to remember, bashed on rocks, and more and is still going perfectly strong. It's a little scratched up but no leaks whatsoever. It also gives the exhaust a noticibly better tone (not ricey/raspy at all), especially at higher RPM's, I don't know about the performance benefits though.

BUY IT! I'm really happy with mine, and it was only 50 dollars.

 

Does JVT make good quality header?

 

i personally have owned both. the only diff i noticed was the ebay sits a littttle it closer to oilpan and therefor more ground clearance.

 

I recently purchased a full stainless header/test pipe/muffler combo for $160 shipped. and I am completely satisfied with it. It really looks well made, the welds are clean and the flanges are thick and have a nice finish. It has a merge collector too, which I did not expect. As for the muffler, it could be a lot better, its just too loud for me, even with the silencer in. $160 is still a smokin' deal for what I got.

 

hey man post some pics if you could id like to see it.

 

I would not get my headers of eBay, some stuff like lights or other parts yes, but not headers. You best bet is to get them at a shop and maybe with a recipe , some shops give them, for my dc sports i got 2 months if anything goes wrong return them W/ recipe, but for ebay , you just can get inssurance if it gets dmg during shipping

 

Ebay headers are too bad... I used them about 2 years and they still intact. I had to replace to those since the Dc Sport headers that i had lasted about 1 1/2 years when the welds start cracking. I compared both of them and the flanges on the ebay headers are alot thicker than the DC . Dc are good but if you just want to pay for the name go right ahead. I have 2 sets of Dc headers sitting in storage for broken welds . No time to get it fix so i just purchase one off ebay. Now its still working. with no cracks. It may discolor but all stainless steel headers turn color from the heat. I've been driving hondas since 1990..i 've seen it all.
