Default Cheap *** header find need opinions

Found a 4-2-1 Ractive header for dirt cheap and I mean cheap. My uncle is really interested in it but I'm not too shure on the brand.

Anyone have an opinion on it? Is $60 too much for a used header in good condition?

you would have to pay me to put a reactive part on my car. I wouldn't doubt if that would make you loose HP.

I have a ractive 4-2-1 header on my car, I got it for around a hundred bucks. I have been using it for about a month. It has been fine so far. If I could have afforded a dc or skunk 2 header I would have bought one. But if you're not sure if you're going turbo or not, don't drop a butt load of money on it. I would say go for it. If it doesn't last that long, so what you didn't pay that much and it ain't that hard to install

I dooo have a problem with mine fitting tight to my exhaust. I think now I am going to have to get a full cat back. It leaks between the exhaust and header.
