Again any name brand item you can buy somewhere else is usually sold on ebay as well.
And again ebay is not a brand so you haven't seen ebay parts in person, you may have seen crappy chinese products being sold on ebay.
I can hear what your saying but just because it is being sold on ebay does not make it crap.
Get the same responses when someone is looking for an exhaust and post up they found a nice deal on an HKS exhaust etc and the replies will be I wouldn't trust an ebay exhaust..
Also stating that if it is sold on ebay 90% of the time it is cheap might be correct for price since you can buy the same things sponsors sell on here for a fraction of the cost but any real item you want can be found on ebay and for less.

Well first off, I never said all ebay items are crap you're putting words in my mouth. Go read my first post, 2nd post on here. I said its not a good idea to buy from ebay.

REASONING - Most things sold on ebay are CHEAPLY made, or made by an independent/small shop or person, or imported by some random overseas company.

THEREFORE - Its not a good idea to buy these parts UNLESS you know more about it. Like I said, im SURE SOME PEOPLE HERE HAVE BOUGHT IT AND CAN FILL YOU IN. For **** sake I never said dont buy it. I said its not a good idea to buy from ebay incase no one here responded and gave him info on this product...that would make it a BAD idea. But obviously people here know about this particular product so its fine.

THATS ALL I WAS SAYING

It's a top end header, you lose some bottom end and gain in the top end.

doesn't sound very "high-end" to me... i'd want a top-end header to gain across the entire powerband (unless thats not what you meant by top end?)
