i wish they'd post a close-up of those welds, they look nasty from this distance. it looks pretty well designed other than that, but like they always say - you get what you pay for (those welds probably do suck nuts).

the infamoust JUN header... that really isn't a JUN header... The guy that sells these is a *****. Read his responses to the negative feedbacks.. he acts like a 4yr old. Add in his false advertising and call it a day.

Its pretty hard to argue with the price, even if the welds aren't beautiful. For a budget header, its a good deal. Now, as for the seller being a dick, who knows.

always remeber you get what you pay for, its not only the welds, its power and fitment, i had one of those ractive headers and used for like 2 months, the thing fit like **** all to one side had to push the exhaust all kind of ways to make it fit.
for like 260 you can get a dc jdm

For 130 I'd say save up for a good name brand. If you don't mind a used header you can find them for pretty cheap. I bought my dc stainless steal 4-1 for only 150 from a guy on h-t. He already welded the second 02 bung on to plus he left the header wrap on. Look around more.

do not buy that header. i have it on my b18c and it sucks. it is just poorly made. ive only had it for 2 months and its already rusting. i had to grind it down to bolt up properly and the gaskets and hardware they give you may as well be made out paper mache.

time to buy a good header now. live and learn i guess

hey if you still want it ill give it to ya for $50
