    Default cheapo ebay header???

    here's the deal... my car has a stock 4 - 2 - 1 header. at the bottom of the 2-1 "downpipe" i have two dents. i'm a little short on flow since i've been buying everything in sight lately... greddy makes a wicked header for my car but it's over 7 bills canadian.. which i can't really justify right now since i might end up whacking it on something and ruining it... so i was thinking about getting a cheap header off ebay. anybody have any experiences with these types of headers? let me know your thoughts...

    I got my header off ebay for my civic along time ago, aslong and the seller has good feedback and shipping is easy then go for the product. It might not be name brand but for your money it does the job

    all that matters... is clean construction (clean welding, CNC cut, mandrel bends etc...) and that the pipes are all the same length

    however... many people in the import scene would by Greddy to say that they have a Greddy header... for $80USD its at least worth the try.

    Problem being that our accords alreay have stock 4-2-1 manifolds, so the gains are minimal to none buying an aftermarket one.

    If you can find a reputable seller the ebay can be alrtight but i have heard of tons of probs with ebay and higher priced good for cars.

    $60 US shipping that's $140 US in all plus the brokerage fees at the border...why not go to a place like Mopac pay an extra couple bucks and get something good. I mean...how can you tell the quality of the welding on it? Also good ceramic coating costs a little bit of money too...it's just hard to figure out how it could be worth it for them to sell them so cheap without losing money you get what you pay for...i would just buy a used one
