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.

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.

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

http://www.inlinefour.com/spoon41exman.html

Price $915

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.

Nuff Sedd

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

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.
