Default cheap ebay exhaust headers

how are the ebay exhaust headers so ridiculously cheap??? Are they only supposed to last for a couple thousands miles or what?? If anyone has used them before tell me what you thought of 'em? I figured whats the point of custom fabricating them when you can just get them for dirt cheap online then fix em up if they break.

you pay for quality. some things you can go cheap on and some things you cannot. headers depending on the application you are using it on will serve just that... a header.... others like jdm,hytech, all those high end ones are fabricated to be the best in form and function. if you just wanna upgrade use the ebay i guess, but the rule of thumb is you pay for what u get. cheap u get cheap, expendsive you get quality, its just how it goes.

Yeah, that's true. I was on a business trip to Taiwan and I met that kid and he says he works at the cheap header department at Ebay from 6:00AM to 6:00PM then he goes home, changes clothes, eates dinner if he has anything to eat and heads off to work at the imitiation Adidas soccer ball factory from 6:30 until midnight.
