And slowly all his other mods started to crap out.

But either way, I havnt seen that before. Im sure someone here has bought them that can give you some info...
Ignorant comments like this are hilarious. Just because something is sold on ebay doesn't mean it is bad. Ebay is not a brand it is a place where things are sold. This header is made by a sponsor on this forum.

Looks like they copied a Berk Header and painted it gold. I wonder how long that paint lasts.

Actually if its sold on ebay it means its cheap 90% of the time. I dont care what you think, ebay parts are typically cheap knock offs. Just because the guy selling this header is a sponser on here and makes good parts doesnt magically mean ebay doesnt sell cheap shit anymore. Congrats you found something on ebay that isnt a cheap knockoff you're now in the 10% lets not forget about the other 90 for christ sake.


"ignorant comment"

Yeah maybe if I havnt seen COUNTLESS ebay parts in person and had no first hand experience then it might be ignorant. Considering I have reasons to back it up though, its not. AND PLUS did I ever say that those headers were crap? I told him its NOT A GOOD IDEA to buy parts from ebay., which is a TRUE statement. Im giving him ADVICE. Cause like i said MOST parts on ebay are cheaply made. I find your comment rather ignorant to be honest, much more then mine was.

I can walk in to any reputable performance shop and find a shitty product. It's true with any place, even ebay. You are generalizing way too much by saying everything purchased through ebay is crap and not to buy parts from there. Not saying people don't need to do research, but to just instantly assume anything from ebay is garbage is indeed being ignorant.
