If you were me, would yoube happy with this header?

**infurNOS** · 27-01-2012 03:04 PM

Just recived the RMF header rep from an Ebay seller, but i am not sure if am happy with it. The collector seems to be intented in and not round. The ports don't seem to be very round and around the welds and up the runners there is a sticky yellow substance.

Would you return it if you were in my shoes or am i just splitting hairs? Or jsut not worry about it and get the exhaust shop to try and round the collector.

Thanks

i would claim paypal first, and see if he can give partial refund to cover your cost fixing dented collector.

I think ill just claim paypal and get the header from a different seller, its probably poorly designed somewhere else costing me power..

you get what you pay for bro - some people learn the hard way from buying cheap fake sh1t.

Why do people think this RMF header is so good ? it's really not a very good design in any way.. super tight bends, many join welds (these arent smooth on the inside yo) and then the ground clearance is worse than any other 4-1's i've seen. just because it looks wild with pipes going everywhere doesnt mean it's good for power delivery.

FYi B-series ports are not round - they are kinda squared-off.. but those ports look like a blind-man was given a dremel for his birthday.

buy my Mugen 4-1 instead LOL.

lol just because something isnt branded doesnt mean its shit, the rmf rep i tested back to back vs the toda 4-2-1 was very similiar on my dyno graph.
toda producing more torque downlow and the rmf making more hp up top.
