ebay headers
i don't know a whole lot about cars, so i was wondering what you guys think about these headers I saw on Ebay. Is this a reputable brand, and is the price good? I dunno, I just always thought Headers were around $1000.

Naw, for OBX's I think that is normal. Keep in mind that the auction still hasn't ended yet, and that price will probably be going up.
Edit: It's a buy it now. And I'm an idiot. I guess it's just a pretty good price for the OBX's. Comptechs run for like, a G. I'm pretty sure you can even pick up Alphawerks headers for less than $500

Junk....they more than likely will crack on you within a year.
Sham run a seacrh "header crack/leak, you will see the issues occuring.
the best you can buy is Comptech.... Excelerate has a couple in stock.. PM him he will help you out...

I heard many good things about the AlphaWerks (last batch). You should check those out too. They go for around 500. I think they are better quality than the OBX. I did some reasearch and obx have fitment issues, some of them leak, and the weldings crack after a year. Keep in mind this is not a problem with all of them, but there is many people that reported these problems.
All headers come with warranty and they will send you a new one if you get a faulty one. However, installing them and taking them out again is pretty expensive...

I am glad you said that... BUT NOT ALL headers are CARB certified... I believe (could be mistaken) but the only headers I know that are CARB certified are Comptechs... and SHAM lives in California... he might not pass emissions testing out there.. I

and yes.. who the hell wants to put on headers and take them off?.. it is not a very simple task if you do the work yourself... and if you pay someone, it can get expensive.. 200-300 Each time!...
my advise:.. do it right the 1st time around.. get some Comptech headers (stay away from their so-called new springs, they suck) from Juniorbean or Excelerate... When you go to sell the car you can get ~650 for the used CT headers...
Only the Best wishes.

if you wait, and check the black market every 5 minutes
you should find a deal on some used CT headers. honestly, i would rather have 5 year old used CT headers than any of the other companies brand new. just my opinion!
