yes they are cheap ass headers, 200$ on ebay, 290$with shipping and then come the taxes over here so it comes down to around 500$. so it ainīt so cheap for me when everything is added
but I figured Iīd give them a try, can always take them off and try and sell someone here if I donīt like them!

$500 after tax is ridiculously high for a generic header.

plan is to have that done in the winter when I will be visiting SEMA
also have to swap the final drive as I also get a crappy 4.388final drive

also waiting with fingers crossed on the australian hondatech reflash, and if everything workes out I would like to get that also when I will be on vacation,
plan on using the vacation time to put my car out of order.

and yes the taxes here are murder, I pay 7.5% tax first on item+shipping, then comes 12.5% and then 24.5% on the whole package.
not even the shipping is left out of the soup

You car doesn't have the 4.7 FD? Wow. I guess your motor is much different than ours.
