it honestly looks OK for the price. i purchased a header from them a while ago when i did my swap because i was broke. its a knock off of a kamikazee header 4-1 with 2 1/2 in dp. i have nothing to compare it with since ive had it on since i installed the motor, but it fit like **** and is already starting to corrode pretty bad. and the gaskets and hardware they sent me were absolute crap.

i cant wait till i have money to buy a good header

It probably won't be much different than a USDM DC 4-1... which isn't good by any means. I would try and sell it and get something that has proven gains.

tig welds. or strong welds of that sort. usually you wanna go for a one piece design. even length,,DYNO tests!!,something stainless or ceramic coated.smooth surfaces,BRAND NAME .. that header looks ok.. but why chance it when you could pick up a used dc for the same or even a new one for 250.

If your looking for a cheap solution, I would either go with the JDM DC 4-1 or the JDM ITR 4-1. If you've got the loot to throw around, DTR is the way to go. And if you've got Mega loot to throw around, SMSP is your answer.
