Hmm... so the verdict is still out...

I guess, with all this header talk, is that the OEM header is pretty damn good and hard to improve on, even from the big companies like J's, ASM, etc...

whats the seller's screen name?

 

Well I took the plunge on this one;
Ebay item # 180411290849

I am hoping to get to a dyno. I am planning on extending the secondary runners and having them merge to a 2.5" collector just long enough to have a 02 bung and flange up to my home made berk style exhaust with magnaflow mufflers. I will try to dyno before and after. It looks like some of the major builders are having success extending the secondaries (TODA & Hytech). We will see. I will also be cleaning up the welds, porting the inlet and well everything I can, and heat wrapping. I know it sounds like a lot but I am hoping for good gains at 20% of the hytech/toda costs.

What do you guys think?

 

Keep us posted... but I personally would not do it... I learned a long time ago 9 times out of 10, you get what you pay for. If it seems too good to be true it usually is.

 

I work with Chinese manufacturer's all the time and what I have learned is that well you do get what you pay for. The main difference is normally raw materials though. So I imagine the "stainless" is barely considered stainless and may be susceptible to corrosion issue more than stateside stainless. The welds are most likely robust but larger than required by a excellent welder. I plan on checking all the welds, coating the outside with a high temp phosphate or Xylan coating, and heat wrapping. I think all in all I can have a creative well put together excellent performing header for 150-200 bucks + a weekend of work.

 

someone order the $95 ship it to me. I will pay for the before and after dyno. then we can settle this.
