K, here we go.....I saw an ad of thepartstrader.com and it had a JDM ITR 4-1 for sale for 250 bucks. I have needed a header since ever since cause mine was damaged for previous owner....(got it free). So I call this guy and tell him I want it and he said he would sale it for 200 bucks local, well I guess that is okay for a used 4-1, then he tells me it is wrapped I hate wrapped headers. So I make another call to him today letting him know that I wanted to get the header today and he said he has another dude coming to get it for 150, and how much did I want to offer for it. I said well okay 160 be there in a minute. I get down there and see the header, first thing first no flanges for the heat shields, WTF? and the design was a little different. So I take a closer look and I see a Jamsa tag, hmmm interesting......I tell the guy that it isn't a stock header, dumb idea...oh well. I tell him it kinda looks like a Mugen...another dumb idea. I peek under one of the wraps and tada !!!!!! Mugen power emblem !!! I immidiately said, " well I guess I'll take it, 160." So here is the fruit of my labors today, enjoy. Always save those pennies for rainy days no matter how little they are they may buy something...hehe.

What is this unamed header? Uhhhh crappy header wrap!!!!


Jamsa, this isn't a OEM JDM ITR 4-1, WTF ?


Another Jamsa emblem ?


What is this peeking under here?


Robot Tig welded?


Congratulations it's a Mugen !!!!!


Ugly but it can be polished.......


Thanks for the band width!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet you are so stoked for 160, he could have got 500+ for it if he cleaned it up and all. Taking advantage of the ignorant
