Default B18C1 Header

I have a complete stock B18c1 in my Del Sol. I'm looking to buy some headers, and i found this up on ebay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/YEAR-END-CLE...ht_4045wt_1163

What do you guys think?

Feedback greatly appreciated

You can get it for that much on H-T through an authorized dealer.

Great design, not sure about the actual materials used though. But like stated about, you can get a real one through a real dealer/company for that price.

I searched that one and the prices are way higher than the one stated for the ebay one. Is this correct or am i being misled to something different?

Feedback appreciated

you are not being mislead, the price for the one on ebay is a SS header, assembled or made in china more than likely, like i said before i bought my hytech rep from that same dude, we had misfit problems with runner connection and had to tinker slightly to get it to fit correctly..that is really the only thing i would be weary of

actually looks like a decent deal to me. the selling point in my eyes is 304 stainless. in order to create 304 the amount of nickle and chromium are set and the carbon content is extremely low

http://www.lenntech.com/stainless-steel-304.htm

for exacts.

i have yet to see a cheap china stainless header use actual 304 metal. if this actually made n china {and i have no idea if it is} at least you know the steel process is solid and it's not just high carbon steel with some nickle tossed in.

I'm going to go ahead and place an order on the ones from Ebay. They look legit and if have any problems with the tubing i think any muffler shop can help me take care of it.

Thanks for the feedback

be careful with that ! 99% of muffler shops only have mild steel in their mig spools. adding plain carbon steel to stainless not only will make that spot rust, it will be more brittle. find an actual welding or machine shop if you need help with a weld. have it welded with stainless
