Default Pro Fab custom header

Has anyone used this header looks good, Kinda looks like the SMS header just not able to adjust the length. Saw it on Ebay type in Toda and it comes up.

Pro Fab is run by Tim Hastings... Tim Hastings used to operate under the business name Upgrade Engineering... Do a search on this site regarding Upgrade Engineering...

I also want to clear soemthing up... There are almost no similarities to the SMSP header... The only thing that is in resemblence is the fact that its also a 2-1 3-4 sequentially paired header... The primary lengths, routing, diameters, bends, bend radi' are nothing liek the SMSP header... The collectors arent even close... SMSP uses collectors similar to a Burns true merge collector, the Pro Fab on the other hand uses custom fab'd Tim Hastings rig special collectors... The inlet diameter, inlet length, outlet diameter, outlet transition and final outlet diameter are nowhere close to the SMSP...

If your considering this header please do not let yourself believe your getting an "SMSP copy" or expect to perform anywhere close to an SMSP header...

Dave makes an awesome product, you definitely get what you pay for...

Its funny that people have even mentioned this header in the same sentance with Daves stuff...

Just my $.02

its no where near what a smsp is.
you will have to extend the wires on your o2 snsor for this header and take one tranny brace off from under the motor next to the oil pan.
the fit is super tight
seems like its more for a b16 then a b18
the ground clerance is better then the oem header from the front
but the back where it ends the flang hangs pretty low
also if you have a fluidyne radiator like me you will have to trim the fan shrowd a bit
also its not what it looks like in the pic they show
the one i got was welded from the inside just like the oem type r header.
