think about it for a second, wat are u really playing for? the steel and the labour that takes to make the headers.
now lets talk in terms of power gains, how is a header made by xforce 4-2-1, 2.5 ''diameter or any other brand costing $600+ dollars going to give u any more power gains then an unknown brand header that is identical, 4-2-1 made out of the same type of steel with the same diameter, which typical sus304 or 312? and the same welding which should pretty much all be the same these days, tig welded.
where as if u settle for the headers ServerAMV is talking about, it is designed differently to attain power through the rev range from the way its designed.

yup, bisimoto 4-1 extractors are one of the few that are based on fluid dynamics, and aimed at hitting all the necessary harmonics to maximise power throughout the rev range. bisimoto is one of the few NA d series tuners that are able to hit quarter miles in the ten second range (and he actually uses his products to hit it).
how many other companies that produce d series headers actually race with them? only other one i can think of is skunk2, and if i remember correctly, similar if not exact same design as ebay.

comeonnn... 17 dollar headers..

youre better off putting racing stripes on your car to make it go faster!!!!

my DC sports headers for the D series are a sweet addition to the EG..

I know A LOT of the young guys on d-series.org that have very little money buy these cheap headers all the time of ebay and don't have anything bad to say about them.If they last 2 years it's money well spent but they are lasting a lot longer than that.

some people just can't get around how ebay headers do exactly
the same thing that the 600 dollar headers they paid for
feeling of getting ripped off doesn't feel good.

Yes.So true.These item DO exist.I wouldn't buy ebay coilovers but I would buy a ebay header.

yeh but the header comparison (ebay and $600+) could go for anything, why pay 1200 for BC spec 2 system, when u can go 2 local shop and have it made for $500, or any SS exhaust system for that matter, correct me if im wrong.

my ebay headers on mine cost me $280 delivered for the D16Y8 (these are s/s with very nice/clean welds 4-2-1 design, the only mod that had to be done to them was the additions of a s/s flexi joint before the flange that leads to the s/s cat) and with the 2" exhaust with s/s cat, res, and cannon muffler, it made just under 100hp atw a month or so ago. Just wish I could get them clean again, lol

and how much had it made stock?

fair enough;
end result: ebay headers work!

stock unsure, only dynoed it for a laugh at Predator against my mates 180sx, lol. There is an increase in torque imo, and Im running the stock EJ8 airbox and Honda OEM air filter, with no other mods to gain any kind of horsepower, and just to be even funnier it was with using 10% ethanol gas put in there by mistake and I must admit it isnt too bad altho Honda doesn't suggest it

75kw.Very Nice Ryan!
