header: crap or not

Saw this on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33631

Has anyone used one of these before? Also, does it look good or like a cheap piece of crap. Just want to know what welders think getting a header like this.

I'd say it looks useless. Does anyone else think that the collector outlets are too small? It looks like they used the same 1 1/2" tube for the whole header.

you get what you pay for.a header is something that requires R&D to actually make power.i can weld you up a nice looking header.will it make power?who knows.

I have bought a set off of ebay before.. It was disgustin! The quality is horrid and I think you get more flow from stock headers! Honestly!

my buddy bought one for his 93 civic ex, he ended up welding the two pieces together because the flange always blew out

I knew it was to good to be true. I guess when it comes time for a header I'll get a megan racing or dc sports one unless I can get more money.
