Default The $100 Header

i get a kick out of these... they have quite a few of them on ebay
always wondered if anyone on here has ever bought one and if so how did it perform

i would image they cant be all that reliable though

ok so heres the thing, i bought 2 of these hundred dollar headers from ebay but not for a TC, but for 2 Honda's. a honda civic and a honda del-sol. to tell you the truth, they have their ups and downs.

1. they do fit and they bolt up ok.
2. they look very good and please the eye

bad is that
1. they look like polished stock headers
2. are not sanded so bits of welding bubbles can be found around openings
3, shipping sucks on them so while shipping they can arrive with scratches and a few weird things.

but in the end, you get what you pay for, if you in the end will be doubting the headers, or not caring for them because they were cheap, then save the money and buy a good brand later. unless you have a honda then EBAY it Away!! LoL
