hey i searched and didn’t find anything so please keep the flames on low…
my girlfriend just bought an ebay header for me, it was 70 dollars cheap! I needed one that had 2 o2 sensors on it and that was the only one not super expensive. what you guys think?
Who made it?
some stuff isn’t that bad, but some stuff is crap, it depends on the manufacturer

first:
Which header did you buy (i.e. give a link the same type of header on ebay or something)?
cant possibly comment on something i havent seen or read anything about. This sort of topic is on this site somewhere (like which header is best? blah…)
And your question is sorta ambigious (e.g. hey i just bought a jar of jelly, do you guys think it tastes good?) if you say what type of header you bought it might help since some people on here might have purchased the same type of header and can give you some first hand experience.
besides that, just give us slightly more detail so we can help…
forget a header homie, sell one of your kidneys and one of your girlfriends kidneys and turbo that bad boy. J/K my friend, a little more 4-1-1 on the header would be good. i know people that bought some $75 headers off of ebay that were “DC Sports Style” and they liked them. they looked alright, not on my car so i couldn’t begin to tell you if it made decent power etc. invest in an intake manifold next, if you’re goin all motor, go Skunk2, my friend just put it on his teg and its awesome, he also got a skunk2 throttle body, an AEM fuel rail, (i think) HKS fuel pressure regulator, and some “bob’s brand” cheap injectors. his car is pretty damn quick. he likes it, he’s spent maybe $700 total in his motors performance and half the honda’s in town can’t hold a candle to him. he’s a damn good driver too so that probably has something to do with it. he’s got a DC header that he got off some guy in town with a wrecked teg for like $40 its not pretty but he says it gets the job done so i guess he got his money’s worth.
You usually get what exactly you pay for.
what do you get when you mix 10 gallons of ice cream with 10 gallons of dog shit? 20 gallons of dog shit!
I had to get a cheap header to get my car running after I took the turbo off. I bought a $70 ebay header. Looked good, started to change colors, then cracked after about 4 weeks. Now it has a crack around every port. But I’m boosted now and took that POS off…
my exgirlfrind bought a 70 dollar ebay header for her 95 GSR and it looked ok but when i tried to instll it for her the damn thing just wouldnt fit. the collector didnt line up with the exhaust if the flange was lined up and the flange didnt line up if the collector was bolted on. She ended up getting a DC sport and it went on real quick and gave her a little more power
I ran an OBX header on my CRX with ZC swap for a long time and it was a great header for the money. No fitment problems at all.
Now I need a header for my LS and I’ll be getting another eBay header…the Megan Racing headers have gotten good comments, they look like a decent quality header.
I know they might not be quite as good as a DC or whatever but I can’t justify spending a ton of money on a part for a 15 year old, $3000 car. eBay stuff works for me. Quality is gonna vary a lot though, there’s decent inexpensive stuff and there’s cheap crap out there…gotta make the call in your specific case.

yeah it’s a piece of shit but i guess you get what you pay for huh. just got it today, looks alright, will install it tomorrow…
i got a megan racing header and it wont fit up to the collector under the car its off by like 2inches so be ready to weld it up!!
:giggle: Thats a tough situation “hi hunnie, the header you gave me is crap…”
Nice of her to get you such a gift. I’d be surprised if my woman got my anything for my car. I think she’s jealous of it… :worry:
I have a OBX header.
Problems with it - Ports are smaller than stock and the part that connects to the cat sits a bit high up.
Sure it gave me some power but my Teg deserves better. Its been too good to me. 
DC header comming soon!!! :ohyeah:
