Ebay Headers

i found this set of headers and they look right and it says there stainless steel but i cant tell if this is legit or not. I'v seen headers generally for about 300 and there selling this set for 95. Is this a good buy?

good luck finding headers that have one flex pipe. if you wanna go with one flex pipe you gotta go higher with the price, that means either DC Sports or Comptech. or you can simply have an exhaust shop weld on a straight pipe.

an additional flex pipe can mess with the airflow.

Here are some OBX headers on eBay with no flex pipes for $293. I've been looking at these myself.

You're right. I first thought it was some kind of pre-cat, but it is a flex pipe I guess, though it looks solid in the pic. Anyway, one is better than two!

i say go to a machine shop and have them fabricate you one for half the price fitment might not be as perfect, but they find ways to work around it.

I've got JVT headers that I'm going to be putting on tonight. They're pretty much like all the other ebay headers. I'll let you guys know how those workout
