Hi everyone,
Hi, I was just wondering about the reliability of Ebay brand headers. What do you guys think? Any experiences that people have had. I mean they are dirt cheap so should I get em or would that be a waste of time and money. I have an automatic tranny and I dont punch it alot.
Thanx
and if i say something dumb, excuse me. I am just a newbie!!
here's a link of one of the headers-

Well I have had a few friends buy some of these headers off Ebay and they all kinda say the same thing. They say that the welds from Ebay headers are usually cheap. I mean you get what you pay for. They do the job not like super awesome or anything. Some of my homiez have had to replace them eventually and some have had no problems. Hope this helps any.

They are a cheap knock off of the MSDS headers.

Avoid them like herpes.

I have them, they are cheap shit. After several repairs, and substantial modification to keep them from hitting the halfshaft and subframe, they are still cracking, breaking, and leaking. I'm moving on the MSDS sale this week to replace them.
