Pretty sure it wont fit. It says it fits the 4g94 and 4g69 which are 2 different engines. Plus most of the ebay header's have sh*tty welds. The cheapest you will probably find is the OBX setup.

IMHO -- RPW looks to have the best header available for our cars. They are pricey and come from down under, but do they look solid and they have the knowledge to back it up. Good welds and no thin gauge metal tubing. They aren't SS I don't think, but a good jet coat will keep them from cracking and rusting for the most part. Heat\cold fluctuations will cause condensation, but the jet coating should dimish that by a lot.

As far as RRM, it looks good, but they have no data behind it. Not dissing the product, just no proven results to speak of and very basic pictures of the header.

Don't be fooled on headers. They are designed, not just welded pipes. RPW has a cool write up on their headers and design thereof.

RPW Header FAQ

Once again, only my opinion.

Also, the good thing about RPW is that you can buy a bolt-on high flow cat instead of having to get one welded one. I'm assuming there's a crack in my OBX headers somewhere but until it warms up, I won't be able to really find out. I'll probably end up getting RPW headers at some point, especially if RRM keeps jacking up their prices.
