For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.

    Repair / Upgrade on my manifold.

    Recently the flex pipe on my stock exhaust had a blow out. I need to replace it and I figured It would be just as cheap to replace it with a performance header that comes with one on it.

    Note: ( mechanics replacement cost was estimated at $140.)
    I found "ebay" black ceramic header for $66 total.
    If you guys/girls had any suggestions up to about the $140 mark it would be nice.

    Also. does anybody know if you can put this style header onto the rest of the stock pipeing. $ can be tight right now but I may replace the rest of the exhaust, but I would like to keep legal Cat-converter setup, but I may be able to go cat-back.

    yes, it just bolts right on.
    As long as your cat is the kind that's not welded onto your pipes.

    When i was putting on my header and exhaust, i found out that mine was welded on, so i had to buy a new cat too, but it was pretty good, 125 for a magnaflow cat.

          I have been looking on Ebay and I think this is a good one. what does everyone else think?

          The welds and bolts look nicer than the other types on ebay. (Stainless should discolor like that when welded... I think..) I don't care about the name, and I am not looking to turn my car into a racer right now, so cheap is good for aleast the next year. Its still not as cheap as the $60 ones, But im not looking for AEM/ Greddy right now.

                megan racing headers are pretty decent. ive had this one for a while now and no problems out of it. i also know a few people that have had them for a lot longer. they are also pretty cheap.

                      before you buy the header do you have a stock catback? if so i wouldn't suggest getting an aftermarket header with stock catback. it would sound like little bees in a can. let me see if i can find the video real quick

                      found it they actually refer to little bees in the title

                        My 65 dollar header has been good for 3k miles and two 6 hour road trips.
                        wat?
