nobody said anything about them being the same quality as brand named shit. we all know ebay specials are garbage. either they dont fit or they brake.
Uh yeah, actually somebody did. Read:
they are stainless steel, mandrel-bent, high-flowing quality exhaust products and you can always coat it with something to prevent rust.
Hence my long-ass post with the 4 points.
And FYI for 93civicracer, all stainless headers change color, it's not an indicator of bad quality, just in case you were wondering. I still wouldn't buy Ebay shit though. Like I said, I've heard about and witnessed too many situations where junk Ebay headers cracked and developed leaks.
And yes, they're cheap enough that it wouldn't be a huge loss and you can just buy another one, but think of it this way...for the cost of 3 or 4 crap Ebay headers you could just have a nice one to begin with. I just don't see the point of wasting any money on Ebay junk...
