Default Ebay header?

Just wondering if anyone ever try one of those noname ebay headers???

I'm going z6 so it will be on the car just for few months. Dont want to spend a grip on dc if im going to take it off.

Where can i find a dc 4-2-1 header for a good price?

As far as SSAutoChrome (The main ebay dealer) I wouldn't trust them with equal length turbo manifolds, but headers aren't exactly the most ingenious design and I don't think you should have much problems unless your car is constantly under TONS of pressure. (Or the header hits the ground)

those no name headers tend to aim upwards under the motor so that the cat doesnt make a good seal and casue a leak. They are heavy for what they are. Did get some performancen outta them when i got the leak to go away. (gf's car) But anyting is better then the stock z6 manifold...worst one.

Look round honda-tech for cheap dc sports headers. I got mine for 110 shipped in good condistion.

i have a ssautochrome header on my car, going on a month now and i dont have a leak yet,i know there not the best but if your on a budget like i am,then 106 shipped sounds damn good.

they are on the heavy side,but you have to give something to gain something
