any one know anything about the ebay headers or which one i should stay away from
all of them if possible, buy a megan racing one, there cheap and work and last
OBX and Megan are both good, just dont get anything cheaper than those two and you should be fine.
I’ve got an OBX on my DA for three years. Came with it and I haven’t seen any reason to replace it. The chrome has worn faster than the higher dollar brands though.
I have an OBX header in my car, it isn’t to bad…
dont buy any of that crap…im not saying spend a G on a header but even though megans and obx may last they only look cool, you cant get a cheap header that improves performance so why bother buying junk, owning a megan header is like a nice looking stock header maybe worse for performance. look for a used quality header on ebay…
that’s completely false information. both obx and megan racing headers have been proven to produce power. how do i know? #1 b/c i used to own an obx 4-1 on my GSR. it now resides on a friend’s LS. it made dyno proven power on both rides. i know 3 other people locally with megan racing headers, not just on hondas, and i’ve seen their dyno charts as well. so they are not just for looks. pace setter is the only brand header that has been proven to cause a loss in power, and if you had done some research you would know this. if anyone has experienced a loss in power by using either obx or megan racing headers, there is a larger issue causing the problem. way to talk out of your ass.
well i will admit i havent done research on these in a long time, so maybe they got alittle better since but last time I looked at numbers I wasn’t impressed, I dont mind being called out if im wrong but i bet the gains are not that impressive still compared to say a comptech header but personally I have used both products in the past and I think they are junky parts just my opinion …i was just saying spend more or get a used quality header
you have no idea what kind of person I am…I buy no name shit if the quality and part is the same as a name brand like an ebay catch can…but if the quality and perfomance doesnt match up i buy what works I bought an apexi filter because they are superior in quality and proven to work so its worth the money because of that not the brand…price rarely ever lies you can argue all you want
What kind of gains did you see from the header?
i got an ebay header i bought for 50 bucks shipped. if u have intake and exhaust already its good addition. yeah i bought it for cheap. its been there for a year now no cracks or leaks or anything wat so ever. but make sure you re-use your stock exhaust manifold gasket or buy a new one at the dealership or where ever. anyways long story short. it has added some hp and tq for sure i love it. my mid-range has improved alot. from 4000rpm-6500rpm car makes a whole new different sound. can’t describe it. maybe because of my “B”-TEC hahah or im on crack. but i guess depends on your condition of your motor. i got my stock b18a1 with 318kms still runs mint =)
its all metal tubing buddy and i got a ebay header with race pipe and muffler i got the combo and it has gained some power and sounds great. and i got the exhaust angled out a lil bit and i love it sounds sweet as hell deep pinch no fart or bumble bee noise and wtf y would u spend money on a apexi filter y not just get a k an n or a ebay filter or apc its a damn filter
do some research for yourself buddy, i have seen countless tests where the apexi filter comes out on top heres just one of them…dry filter no pointless oil or washing maintanance, best performance, best filtration on the market and lifetime use…if you want to waste money on a filter made with some sh***y paper and inferior materials to each his own
We have a built ls/vtec with type r head with no name ebay headers on it and the car has been running fine for the past 2 years with no problem. Not all things on ebaay are good but ounce and a while you can find something tha is worth buying.
i have had a cheap 50 dollar ebay header on my car for over a year now with no problems. i know its not the best header but on the other hand i know its better then the stock header so thats all i wanted anyway. the color turned a bit blue but thats ok… not like i drive a show car anyway. i think it all just depends on your goals for the car. if you dont need the best header then i would say go for it. you will get most of the performance out of it and save money to put into other things.
the megan racing header is most likely the best bang for buck header out right now! a friend of mine made 201whp on his built LS/VTEC. as most of you know hitting the 200whp mark in a all motor car is pretty good, and with a $150 making over 200whp that’s damn good. He is aware that the header is most likely holding him back on making more power at this point, so he is looking at getting a RMF header, and they cost around $900. So if your not trying to make stupid amounts of power all-motor the megan racing header is a good header, to make decent power for enough get up and go around town.
for all the people stuck on name brands, DC sports is one of the crappy headers out there right now!
i bought my header from ebay for like $100 shipped and i love it, good welds and i havent had a problem yet…my brother also has one and he has had his for about 3 years with not one problem…so if you want to spend $500 on a good header that with get you maybe 2 more hp then go ahead but if you dont have a fully built motor then you dont need a top of the line header…
