Default looking to buy new headers

the headers i bought with my car are crappy and it has a little tiny hole on it, maybe the size of a toothpick, so im definitly going to buy new headers, im on a budget, and yes ebay crap is bad, but these look to be ok?

any thoughts?
thanks guys

You know what he's talking about...

Are you trying to find something for performance gains or just a replacement header?

lol replacement header- find someone parting out an integra a get it, performance gains- not looking at much gains but mainly depends on how much money your looking to spend.

well im looking for pretty much a replacement that looks nice
and its a little bigger than the stock exhaust mani so ill get a little performance but nothing to try and beef my car up. i did some research on t304 steel and its good heat resiliant and it doesnt rust, so i mean would this be a good buy or is there something bad about these headers from ebay like the turbo kits?

ebay headers are typically knock off brands of actual headers, except with poor welds, dents, and usually uneven surfaces. Which could lead to leaks around the gasket area, etc.

i recommend

you again?! don't listen to this idiot and his rant on DC Sports headers. They are junk and are made cheaply and shittily and are overpriced ceramic coated stock replacements.
Listen to the 05 member not the 09 member. Youd be better off with OBX for the price.

Well if you plan on getting something in the 200-250 range. Might as well pick up a JDM ITR header. Works jsut as good. Sometimes you can even get them for 150.

right, because the price you pay for headers has alot to do with building an engine from scratch and engine tuning
