DO NOT buy headers from ebay, you will be much better off forking out the extra 100-125 dollars to get it from a more trustworthy site.

Any suggestions?.. Would like to stay under $200 if possible..

For the most part I agree with that statement but I've been running an ebay header(speedy-racer) for the last 6 years without issue.They have stood up to multiple track days, autocross, road trips, daily driving, and have been running strong on my turbo set up. I say for the small price go for it

But you can usually get non-ebay used headers for even cheaper, like I did. ($60

I had my Speedyracers for a little over a year until I totaled the car

I would of taken them but the impact at the left front corner I know for sure bent the headers out of shape

Having said that I might wrap them this time around.

i have ebay ones on my car... have had them for years... they have cracked a couple of times, but that is probably because i have my heavy ass turbo mounted without a bracket to take the weight off of the exhaust.. but i just weld them back up whenever they crack...

Been using cheapo headers for years never a problem. Also have 2 friends, one with 300+whp and other 400+ both on eBay headers for years. And when I say ebay I mean ebay special $100 including uppipe.

In my experiences the fitment is junk and they fall apart. Avoid at all costs. How many times can you swap out a ebay header before buying the quality one would have been worth it? I'll tell you. Once.

Mstolz · 11-14-2012, 01:28 AM

Fitment was horrible but I've had mine through years of NW winters and summers with ZERO issues. Buy them, money well spent!
