Brand new Ebay header for 50 bucks??

just bought a brand new header off ebya for 50 bucks, got it in the mail and installed it and am very impressed with its quality for 50 bucks. Anyone else try the ebay headers? I think they are great for the money.

What name ebay header? Generally they look awesome at first but what happens is the finish degrades QUICKLY and they tend to rot out. Your best bet is to remove it and get it ceramic coated or coat it yourself. It will last a lot longer this way. Heat wrapping them after its been coated is a bonus too

These are great idea's, stuff that even I thought after I installed my headers. Do your headers look like mine?

My exhaust manifold is OEM. If I were to buy a replacement I'd probably go Megan for ~ 130 dollars.

those look JUST like mine but my flanges where the 2 pieces bolt together are bent and it doesnt seal right.

ebay headers for my em2 worked perfect tho. i say ebay products are fine...depending on what they are. ill buy an ebay exhaust all day but turbos, cams, or suspension parts usually name brand is the way to go.
