Default asking for a little input on this ebay header

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...63396

this header is unbelieveably cheap at a $86 buy-it-now price, and is also stainless steel, my current stock header rattles like crazy and i'm a little anxious to replace it, not looking for any horsepower gains on a new header, just something that might last for a cheap (yes, cheap) price, what do you guys think?

dc headers aren't stainless steel are they? i'm just looking for something that is cheap and will last, no horsepower gains required

been contemplating the same thing, but I've heard mixed reviews over those imitation ebay headers...worse cases were the flanges were way off and bolts didn't line up....that kinda steered me away, but everytime I see them its still so tempting

i originally bought an ebay 4-2-1 header.. it fit like ***..exhaust was leaking all over..my car sounded like a lawnmower when i floored it..ended up buying a DC 4-1 and it fit like a glove.

i have been wondering the same thing. its so tempting to just drop $110 shipped for a header, but i just way to scepticle about it. i just cant justify spending the amout DC sports wants for a 4-1 header at this point in my life. but i figure i will be just as pissed if i spend $110 and the damn thing doesnt work or fit.

if anyone buys one of these please post a thread letting us know how it did for you.
until then, i will just keep adding other mods, until i get a clear consensus on the ebay header.

have any of you all looked into the Chikara Tork Step headers?? $189(and like $7 shipping) at Summmit Racing. I've heard good things about them too. price isn't bad, I'm considering the myself to hold me off until my turbo stuff is ready
