Ordered A New Header!

[brsteinbach]

Hey guy's I hope this isn't the wrong section to post this but I'm a little happy and excited so I thought I'd share.
I know some of you may think Wooo Big Whop! But I'm still "modding" my car and being a teen. But anyways I seen that a lot of people use the Ebay header so I thought that they're pretty reliable so I ordered one to make the bay look better and gain a whole 1-2 horses!
So I just ordered mine about 10 minutes ago, This is the one I ordered.

I'll post pics as soon as it gets here like I did with my strut bar.

BTW once again I'm sorry if I shouldn't have posted it here but I will update with pics as soon as it come.

$67 for a header? I have a bad feeling about this...

Mine was 65. only problem is that it blows gaskets like every 6months

I hope mine's the same way. (I don't want anything worse)

Mine was about the same price, it melted down the gasket between the top and bottom halves after a while (I put on on on Earth Day back in 08. So like a year and a half). I put some of the highest temp RTV on it though since I wasn't sure where to get a new gasket.

Btw, where do you get new exhaust gaskets? And who makes good ones?

[Jccck]

Buy an OEM gasket set off ebay/taspro/honda
The OEM exhaust header gasket will last you forever (Assuming you don't unbolt it again ofcourse)
Much better quality than the piece of silver cardboard that comes with the ebay headers..

Btw the OEM gasket set cost me $60 to my door.. And it has EVERYTHING!
VC Seals (Plug seals too)
Head gasket
Intake and exhaust ports.. Etc

[Sarthos]

But I like the really GOOD gaskets. Like Bisi's intake manifold gasket

[AstroVannin]

I used one I got off a megan header I found at the jy .. WORKS PERFECT.

I paid like 45 bucks for my ebay header and I've never had any problems, it didn't turn all nice and heat colored like i was expecting, but no cracks, no leaks and I ran it for a year.

Yea, that is the biggest hit or miss on these :/

I don't.

[F22HB]

For all the people having issues with the gaskets, would you guys pay if I made gaskets for these? One that you wouldn't have any issue with in the future? I'm making one for mine and could do more if people would pay for it.

[BillKisme]

Ive had my header on the car for about 6 months and so far so good.

i haven't had any problems with my ebay header. came with all metal gaskets and still using them. taken it off once, used same gasket. still doing just fine.
