Header Question
 
A while back I was shopping for UEL headers and came across some that were apparently like a knock off of JDL??? All I remember is they were like half price and from what people were posting and commenting, performance was pretty equivalent.
Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?
Cheers

They ripped off a couple headers. Not even worth mentioning their name to give them the free advertising.

Yeah no doubt. Didn't know they did others too. I myself have the Borla UEL headers (love them) but have a friend shopping around right now on CL and marketplace. Was just planning on telling him to stay to the brands that are well known but I haven't looked into this in years so I didn't know what brands are legit anymore. For a while I thought I was just misremembering. lol

Tell them to check out the used section on here. There's plenty of times were there is a good deal. Plus it's best to support legit companies and not knockoffs. Especially those who put the time and effort into the R&D.

They also copied the nameless header. A lot of the other parts they sell are just copies, FP's, axle backs.

Used is a good option. Otherwise I would be waiting for Tomei's to come back into stock if they are on a budget.
