Less weight, frees up power, if it fits it couldn't hurt.

Icy13 · 12-10-2008, 07:06 PM

lets see.... 100 bucks free shipping, and it is pretty hard to fuck up pipes so..... buy that shit, and let us know. Couldn't hurt as ^^ said.

my thoughts on it anyways

wgJoY · 12-10-2008, 07:10 PM

unless it doesnt fit up.

My brother had purchased a egay header for his Teggy a little while ago.

It was $100 shipped, ended up picking it up at their place of business to save a couple bucks, drove home and tried it on.. ends up it didnt line up, needed to weld/cut/realign blah blah.

Then again. It is $100,

Do sohc's have the cat in the downpipe or is that only with dohcs?

because otherwise you wont be running a cat

Only S14s have the converter in the downpipe.

Devil Man · 12-10-2008, 07:15 PM

wow did obx the undercuter just get undercut... haha

honestly that looks just like the obx one which works ok so why not i would for that price.

*handinpants* · 12-10-2008, 07:18 PM

Do it and post a review

BustedS13 · 12-10-2008, 07:44 PM

*crack*

then again, the hotshot ones were known for cracking, so who cares

go get 'em

jakerps13 · 12-11-2008, 12:22 AM

Had one way back in the day. O2 was clocked and wire rubbed on firewall. Pipe was also really close to the floor. Not saying they haven't revised it though. All in all it needed some massaging, but you can hardly buy the material for the price of the whole part.

Bigsyke · 12-11-2008, 12:27 AM

I have one waiting at home, it will be going in tomorrow! 10* weather will not stop me.

And yes you probably should get a flex pipe regardless of engine mounts...and a highflow in place of the s14's fake cat.

CIutchCollidE · 12-11-2008, 12:32 AM

sweet... get a review going for it

***CrimsonRockett*** · 12-11-2008, 12:44 AM

After owning an OBX header for my S13 for a couple months, I hated it.

Quality sucked, very raspy, shit brown color also sucks(it won't stay polished for long), fitment wasn't great.

Now, running a DC sports header. Definitely a difference.

I would say save up and go with something better, but not a lot of people are willing to drop $400 for a DC Sports header now a days.

Your car. Your money.

C. Senor · 12-11-2008, 12:48 AM

they dont make dc headers for single cams johnny. i would have gone with one of those for my old one. i had hotshot on my sohc. it worked damn great. but now that i'm dohc dc is the shit. i how ever don't think either dc nor hotshot are still in production for our cars.

I failed at reading.

I used to run a Hotshot header in my old single cam.

Bought it new(long before they closed up Hotshot).

I loved the quality. Never had any problems with it.

A quick google search brings up several stores that still carry DC Sports headers.

But, yeah. Several people run ebay headers. Hit or miss.

that's good to know, if for some reason mine break.

but i say you can always try it. it's either save up and do it big, or just try it and hope for the best.

Matej · 12-11-2008, 12:52 AM

My Ebay header is awesome, I love it.

silviachik420 · 12-11-2008, 01:05 AM

i bought a eGay header a while back for my 510 when i swaped in the ka24de

and i was soo happy with the thick flanges and that thing cleared my steering box soo awesome think i got pics around somewhere of it

but yeah i only paid like 80 plus 40 shipping was not bad at all

but johnny is right about one thing FINALLY!!!! the only problem i had was it did not stay polished for too long

Me 2!!!! I got the Xtune one, pretty good quality.

only problem is the flange, you cant mate it up to a 3" testpipe else it will leak.

That happens with pretty much any header, no matter what brand. Mine stopped leaking after I switched to a paper gasket in the size of the header, which is 2.75" I believe, instead of the 3" graphite one that came with the test pipe.

Also, the EGR tube is not necessary, I just cut mine off behind the motor and plugged it. I plan to get the EGR block-off plate someday.

Matej · 12-11-2008, 01:22 AM

Mine turned gold, with some hints of blue.

Gold is way cooler than polished.

honeybadger · 12-11-2008, 03:53 PM

Cheap ebay headers are usually a hit or a miss.. so you'll end up getting a great deal or a complete piece of trash.

90hatchie · 12-11-2008, 04:01 PM

i got one
the 02 sensor hits the firewall
other then that its decent
got it as a temp thing till my rb comes :-)

jonnybonds84 · 12-12-2008, 08:50 AM

I gambled on the knock off of the injen intake and extension setup...the maf adapter didn't sit flush on the maf sensor and left a gap. I was pissed and sent back for refund. Also I think the paint on already started pealing before i got it on.

Just heads up. I have injen now, and have no regrets. Noticed diff in quality. Some things you can cheap out on and some you can't I guess.

*PBucch* · 12-12-2008, 10:29 AM

i had an OBX on my single cam and i thought it was pretty decent. like someone said, the O2 sensor hit the firewall, but i just dented the firewall in a bit to clear.

and mine turned gold and blue as well. which i like way more than just polished silvery lameness.

just dont ever buy pacesetter. ever.
