Cheap headers from ebay?



I have these headers...what a nightmare. In all respect the company did refund me 130 bucks so they only cost 50 but still it was a headache. They came with a crack and i paid an exhaust 125 to seal them. Now they look like ****...lol. DO NOT BUY THEM!!!! spend the extra 100 bucks for the other ones.
 
SSAC are the only 'cheap' headers i would even think about buying. they are the original SLP knockoff.
 


i have the obx headers and the only problem i had with them is they welded the crossover at the wrong angle. If you have a welder, i could tell you that they are good quality otherwise. $350.

100% agree. Riley just put his new set of SSAC's on himself and they fit great. Another friend of mine just got them and they look fantasic for $300 headers. Pretty much exact duplicates of my SLP's without the ceramic. We also confirmed they are in fact stainless despite their website saying they are mild steel. Only thing not stainless were the flanges that bolt to the heads. Also, I was impressed on the thickness of the flanges, 3/8 of an inch thick.

I can not stress enough for you NOT to buy those Ebay headers. They need an incredible amount of work to make fit... cutting bending rewelding. Not worth anyone's time. Get the SSAC's, I doubt you will be disappointed.

I have them. There not bad. If you have a welder. Gotta weld the x-over to the collector and rear header. Then pull the TB, EGR, and Master Cylinder and rock the engine forward to get that thing in. Also get better gaskets the ones that come with it are junk.

on my set the front header was going into the tranny at a horrible angle. I had to cut it back and re-weld the flange on. Horrible fiasco!
 
you could also get a pair of pacesetters but that would be the lowest quality i would go but there not that bad and decently priced

The ones I recieved had a notch cut into the flange. We had to grind it a little more but no issues there. It is close.

thats crazy..mine didn't have a notch but i remember thinking these might fit if they had one. I had a shop finish it off and they ended up putting a notch in it and still had to cut it back. crazy company.
