Wondering if any one out there has any luck with these cheap (300.00) headers with hi flo cats I see all over ebay? I know I will get alot of flak on this about buying cheap but from what I see these look like they are pretty well made stainless headers.

If you looking or a high quality Price point header I would suggest you take a good hard look here.

We have removed and discarded several sets of Ebay headers due to various problems with clearance and leaks.

Seems they are made by several different sweat shops, no 2 sets are the same.

I would suggest you do some reading here. There are some good bargains to be found...but you have to be careful. A lot of crap sold on the internet.
That being said...when I got my OBX, I bought them from a legit dealer...not off ebay.

Save up an extra couple hundred and you can get good quality such as Tesas Speed headers. They are pretty cheap.

I helped put in a set of ebay headers on a buddies car. They "worked" but were missing a second set of o2 bungs and the fitment of the off road pipes were poor and leaked. I wouldn't even consider them an option for what I paid for my stainless power headers its well worth the difference in quality
