Default ebay exhaust and headers?

okay i was wondering how good ebay headers and exhaust becuase i wanna get a new exhuast my old one is well getting old custom piping with a a cheap after market muffler is getting lame and my headers are all dinged and dont look clean(i think the headers are ebay headers where on it when i got it) but anyways i does any1 have one that they can tell me somthing about negative or postive reviews are welcome btw i think the brand is option import or somthing(2 1/5 pipeing 3 1/4 inch tip) also if i boost im going to keep using whatever exhaust i get on it so either tell me a good brand thats not to much thankks

I once got a XS Power header (for my SE-R Spec V). It was not from ebay, but same smell. Great value. We are talking about metal, and metal don't wear out. Good reviews.

My batch was bad. A few others also had similar problems with fit. Some just deal with it. Some took it off.

So that's the difference. You can take your chances. Some will be perfect, and best value of the year. Some will suck and cause you a lot of heartache. There is certain joy that comes from mod cars. You want to feel that everytime you spend your hard earn $$$.

Your call. Your $$$. Your car. My story is above.

My guess is that there are less variables with (no name) header vs (no name)exhaust.

In my case. I went with WS2 catback. And it sounded like any WS2 catback with a header. So the exhaust negated any difference in header sounds between the brands.

If you're goijng to improve performance you've got to go for a better product than (noname) products. I'd go with something more reputable,imo. I understand money is an issue but you gotta pay to get better quality.

oh i know but i ditched my f22a1 build going to try to find a 94 eg6 and swap a b20 or a h22 in it and build it up so the cb7 is just somthing to do atm until i get that (hopefully) so id rather just save up for a more long term project unstead of throwing 9 grand in a f22a1 to make 230whp n/a

All I can say is that you get what you pay for!

New Ebay no name + Cheap = cheap, no matter what way you try to slice it.

If more people would start buying quality parts and stop buying that cheap imported egay crap. Maybe the prices on the quality pieces would go down.

ghost i know ill get what i paid for im not expecting it to be the most badarse exhaust...

im going to do a quality build when i get a eg6 and get a better job but as of now my cb7 is just a teenager car stock everything besides rims cai headers exhaust and head unit

btw off topic but ghost which would be a better choice for a eg6 (no interior besides seats dash and cage) a b20 from a crv or a h22 from a 98 prelude b20 has 109xxx miles the h22 has 136xxx miles

Honestly, as much as I am not a huge fan of all the H22 hype. I would say, for drop in bang for your buck, the H22 would be my choice for an N/A build.
