ebay headers!

ebay header is not so bad for $65. check out the welds. this is what john needs. more bang for the buck.

that a pretty nice header but the one Johns getting is awesome.

You can ask any of the guys on here that have bought a cheap header...like I did before...it's nice at first, but it doesn't last.

You're also going to have clearence issues with that design and the thing will look like crap in about a month. Not to mention the rust issues it probably has. There's no telling how Crappy that thing looked too before he spent an hour polishing it up. Have you ever seen the "how Too's" on how to do that, it's not hard to polish them up, but it won't last. Just my opinion, spend a little bit more money and get some good quality stuff...like mine:

BTW, it's not GReddy...the box was for my exhaust.

that header is the same as johns. its not gonna give you 20 extra hp like he thinks and if your gonna spend the extra money go with a header that will actually give you 20 extra hpsuch as the bisimoto header i posted on johns new parts page. there is a link for you as well to look at. this header has been dipped not polished and the clearance is not an issue. i have had this same style 4-1 header on my car for over a year already and i have modified the car for this to fit. it will be direct bolt on.

oh yeah, i wont let it look like crap in a month. there is no rust either. all stainless steel headers get heat spots and change colors. looks is not what im after. i check the welds and cleanliness of the part and thats all that matters. theres a little thing called wd-40 and fine sand paper that cleans this heated look up pretty nicely. so i guess you can tell disco that his header is crap too cause his is stainless as well.

Ummmmmmmm my header is crap and I know it is. I wish I had the money to get a bisi header or a ANR but you gotta weigh your options and the dollars right? Brandon you spent the money for what you believe to be worth putting on your car for your future set up. And John did the same. In Johns defense he is running an all motor application permanantly so hes doing what he believes is best for his set up.

Ebay performance, FTL.

NA ftl, but i guess some poeple just like to waste moneys lol.

It will definitely rust and most likely crack down the road. They use
low grade stainless to make them. The welds are good because the 9 y/o
kids have been welding for 3 years already.

^lmao.

i have had the one on my car for two years now and they havent rusted or cracked. the reason why im replacing it with this one is because my car was too low and i ended up hitting it till it formed an exhaust leak. this is not what i plan on having forever and this is not what i call setting my car up for the future. when i get the money i will end up getting an ANR or bisi header. this is really just an answer to a small exhaust leak ive had for some time now. ive been under the car already and there isnt any rust where the elements could get to the old header where it connects to the exhaust. i use to have a 4-2-1 on the car and the 4-1 made me faster by about a tenth in the 1/8. alittle bit better throttle response as well throught the higher rpm. so for the money its not a bad deal.

Pick up mine on e-bay and their still going strong. Shy of fitment issues on earlier batches and the welds not looking as pretty as say, Competch's, everyone has reported the same gain as reliability as more expensive ones. I guess the point is not all of stuff off e-bay is junk (most of it....yes), but there is nothing wrong with a good deal as long as you have done your homework.

thank you!

Thank YOU! My thoughts exactly...but like I said, we've all done it and if the price is good for what you want right now, then go ahead. I just don't like taking the cheap way out anymore...I got tired of buying parts over and over again.

I got my header off ebay... Had a few modifications done to it... It's an SSA T-4 ss tubular.. When they first came out for the 7MGTEs alot of Supra owners were scheptical, because of the problems SSA had with thier mitsu and honda headers cracking... However, the ones for the supras have the turbo sitting on top, where as the other ones have the turbo "hanging" upside down... The hanging weight was deemed to be the culprit... The welds werent bad, I had Rob check them out for me... The gussets were pretty good for strength... Now, Rob did make an adapter plate because my turbo is so GINORMOUS that the comp housing was hitting the number one runner... lol... He also did some P&P for me and then I had the headers coated... I like the way they look, but have yet to test them out with some heat... However, there are guys on the forums running these for a couple years now with out problems...

Don't know if you got one, Jake, but I'd put a flex pipe in your downpipe.

brandon you have no clue what your talking about it is proven this header makes power i can post the dyno sheet of one do your research before you run your mouth you dont know everything ok your header is a nice piece for 65 DOLLARS ok you can call johnny or dennis and ask about the cars they have dynoed with this header it MAKES POWER. yes the bissy header is nice but i havent seen one for the B series only for D F and H i maybe wrong but dont start running your mouth about stuff you dont know do research ok buddy thanlks and good night

it seems to me like you should save the 65 dollars you spent on this header and put it in the fund to buy a nicer header, since you say you are going to buy a nicer one anyway...seems like your waisting your money to me.

that b/c he just started taking orders for b series when previously he made them for other motors.

and its fixing an exhaust leak.

im confused.




jk.

well ok he just made them then but it is a thousand dollars for those header so not for me

"my new header suppose to be the best header on the market 15 to 20 whp gain with tune on dyno." just watch what you say and how you say it. sometimes it comes out as im better than you and im a cocky mr know it all.

i was just prooving a point and i did do research on your header style along with the bisi. yeah its 1k but think about the thought and design behind the bisi header. this has gone way outta wack over a header. and oh yeah i voted for your car for ride of the month but just b/c i didnt want to see another g'd-out car on the site home page. ill atleast support the teg.

You bet bro... As a matter of fact *if only to lighten this thread a bit* here is a pic of my exhaust... Its so friggin perfect in design, that Rob and I put the exhast in and took it out and put it back in all in ONE piece... *the exhaust is actually in 3 pieces, but it can come out in one piece*

eh, i got out of the cheap parts scene a long time ago and decided to stick with products that i know work.
