would anybody consider these? they look pretty well built?? not sure about pipe size compared to stock size
LOL, hell no.

Its the stock header with the collector changed from 4-2-1 to 4-1!

Also pretty slim on details. What type of stainless, thickness, diameter, etc????

You'd be better off and far cheaper in just modifying the stock header.

Yeah I tried to find out stock size and compare to this but no luck!

I think I would look at power per dollar in this situation. Would you rather spend a grand on a header made in America by some random guy using Chinese steel that makes 10whp or a header made in China by some random guy using the same steel that makes 7whp but only costs $300. Lets be honest here, most are not going to keep their cars long enough to use the "lifetime warranty" on a header and who is to say the company will still be around when it gets to that time? In my experience my Bisimoto Civic $800 race header cracked in three months and it took me 3 more months to get a hold of the company to get it warrantied. A no name ebay header I have been rocking on my daily that only took 3 weeks to get shipped to me has never given me and problems and has gone through 8 different cars in 6 years. How much is your time worth?

Show me a header made in America. I doubt it is *only* 1k and performs decent.

I just helped a friend replace one of those in OP. POS. Fixture used in fabrication was way off so, when mounted, one of the flexible couplings was tweaked hard and eventually cracked wide open.

I recently purchased this header. I got it for 300$ on Amazon. My Borla UEL had cracks in both flex sections and rattled like mad on cold start and pretty bad all the way up to 3500rpm. From what I understand the newer models are revised to prevent this issue. But in a crunch for time and money I bought this one.

Can anyone give me some solid info on this header as far as long term? I've done some searches on a few different forums and haven't found much. The build quality seems much better than what I was expecting if I'm completely honest. If not I'll give you my impressions tomorrow when I pick the car up from the shop.

It looks like nearly every other eBay el header.
