probably gonna get bashed but...

are spoon headers bad? i have heard from friends that they're pretty high quality, but all the ones i see on ebay are like less than 140 shipped.

You don't wanna ask that

Put it this way, you posted a link to $40 fake "jdm" headers, you get what you pay for.

trewatts

oh phoo... i guess i'll just have to tuck away the extra pennies for soemthing better...

Orlando3.0

yay for cracked headers!

rule of thumb for purchasing anything, most times it is too good to be true and you always get what you pay for.

just because it is cheap, doesn't mean you'll like them, unless that is how you like things cheap...

oh yeah, dont go cheap on very important parts of the car, theyll just come back to bite you in the ass at the worst time.

how do i tell whats legit and whats not?

i guess most of us know what Spoon products look like, plus a big factor has to do with the price.

here is a link for Spoon Headers for a Civic

REAL spoon parts from japan are big bucks, headers made out of melted spoons that are "mad tyoyte jDm y0 ebizzle mugen spoon whatevers" um, you get the point. Get some DC headers

trewatts

heh. yeah i was advised by soemone else to get dc, but then i saw those other ones and my jewish side kicked in.

you 16...

take your 4 Cylinder CL and get a little thumper in the trunk,

maybe some lowering springs and shocks.

Putting on Exhaust or Intake or Headers is NOT going to make any

difference in performance that you will be able to notice. Sure you

can brag, but lets be mature here... I have been around this site a while

now, take my advice.

sorry. not trying to be dumb or hostile or anything, but its kind of hard to understand your posts when you only use smileys.

^^^ he has a 2.3

arite take some advice from me, im around your age so you can identify with me more. depending on your financial situation i wouldnt dump all your money into your car. i can barely afford everyday things anymore like food/beer/ciggerettes, cell phone, car insurance.

Yes, but if he's gonna do something to his car, he should get something at least reputable or working rather than some cheap no name that's gonna break and cause more problems than it's worth on his car :shakehead

Look at megan headers, nuf said

Go with the OBX brand if you wish. I've had one of their stainless steel header for nearly two years now... no problems here.

civic_slayer

same here have had the OBX SS for 3 years now, it has held up fine no problems. I think I paid around 180 when I bought it

trewatts

just a wee bit scared of megans. friend of mine has megan and they've broken twice. obx? i'll take a look into those.


yeah i've always seen those but been unsure about them. mainly because i've never heard of them but maybe i'll look into those.

That was a joke, cuz ghost and klepto both had problems with the megans, I was making a joke to ghost, sorry should have been red text

trewatts

heh. yeah my friend got tired of taking them to be re-welded so ended up just wrapping aluminum foil and duct tape around the broken weld and just deals with it.

nah man i never had a megan header on my car. i just acquired one along the way. ive had my DC header for over a year.

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

Ok, it was klepto and someone else, but I remember us talking you out of the megan too cuz I remember you at least had a set

732xghost

iTrader: (1)

nah idk, i never wanted megan. i knew i wasnt gonna get anything other than DC. maybe it was someone else.

the only reason i have a megan is because it came on the F23 motor i bought.
