Default 06 civic si header problem

Okay so the other day my friend took the car because he had to go somewhere and he said he backed up into a parking spot to park the car and he hit the curve and he said he never seen one that high so that the exhaust would hit it and he managed to bend my header..

Now i need to change the header on it because it's bent and its' leaking and i won't put a stock header on it. i want to get a aftermarket one but im really low on money right now and i only have $180 so i was looking at the ebay headers that go for about 160 and it says that its 1.75 inlet and 2' outlet. i was thinking if a skunk2 megapower(will get it from a friend later, running stock exhaust now) would connect to those ebay headers and if it makes a difference in power because i think the piping of the skunk2 will be bigger then the headers..

Im confused about either if I should get the ebay headers then later if the skunk2 catback will be a good combo. or does anyone know any other brand headers for around that price ? any suggestions?

You can usually find used DCRH or Strup race headers for our cars pretty cheap. I'd say they're the only brand around that price you can get USED. I had the strup before, it's way better than stock for sure. But I ended up replacing it with a Kiddracing.

I know for sure the 2" outlet will fit the 70mm skunk2. I had the setup a while back. Not sure about how the 76mm is designed. My full race 3" needed a 2.5in to 3in adapter to bolt it on but I think the Skunk2 76mm doesn't have adapter pieces like the full race. All I do know, is that 70mm will fit for sure lol.

^ This. Get your friend to buy you a new one or if it comes down to it, have him pay for it to get fixed at an exhaust shop.

What? That made little to no sense and you shouldn't bump a hella old unrelated thread to ask a question.
