Unfortunatly my dreams of boost are having to be put off for at least another summer due to some financial hardship. I'm thinking I want to get a header in the meantime, but I def don't want to pay the money for a DC or something decent that I will only use for a year or so. I was looking on ebay and you can get a cheep chinese header for like 50 bucks shipped. The only thing I care about is how it performs so if the cheep as coating comes of in a day i could give a ---- less. Anyone have any experience with these? LOL and yes i know im gonna get flamed for going NA but thats just how i gotta roll for now.

 

My cousin Chris had one of those $50 headers on his accord for quite a few months, upon taking it off we didn't see any problems with it.

 

how was it performance wise?

 

everyone i had fit and worked fine, i always went for the stainless.

Why not just put the $$ towards a set of DSM 450's?

 

Performance wise, well he already had a full exhaust and intake on it so you couldn't tell VERY much but there was a difference he said.

 

We put an ebay 40 dollar "buy it now" header on my brothers 89 Si hatch, it had a nice ceramic coating, fit well, was easy to install, there was a little difrence on the top end but that was about it. Had if for over 6 months without problem

 

if u have a stocker keep it to save your money for these financial hardships

 

LOL Its not like im deep into dept or anything I just had a whole bunch of unexpected expenses that put my car budget for the year down to like 200 bucks. Yeah I know I prob. should save it for the turbo set up but I'm pretty sure its not possible for me to go more then a few months without doing at least something to my car.

 

doesn't puttng a "good" header on a honda only get like 4 or 5 horsepower. Or does every onethink they are great because you can Feel" the difference

 

I know a dude that spent $1100 on an SMS header for his Type-R, but "dude, when it hits V-TAK..."
