This is why no ebay

I purchased the ebay headers and I would like to share with you all why is everybody so against it.









All around they did a poor job on welding, found a couple of little holes where it was welded, the pipes are sticking in at the head, etc. The good part is that they sent me the wrong one for my car so I will be refunded my money.

So in conclusion you get what you pay for. If you care about your car do not waste your money on ebay crap!

well... you kinda figure something is wrong when the seller says that it'll fit the 2.0 and the 2.4 engines

so you cant really expect that they'll ship you one that will fit your car if the seller doesn't even know what the heck he's talking about

Even if they weren't ****ty and bent, I'm pretty sure those wouldn't work on the Ralliart anyways.

Yeah the only headers on eBay that fit our car are obx. I've spent hours at work working at eBay parts lol. I've got a fee things off eBay but the best things from there have been smaller things like the mesh grill and license plate cover and stuff.

Well I dont want to sound like a troll but....you get what you pay for.

Ebay sells good things but there are 3 things one has to look for: feedback, price and shipping :P

A header for $30?.... c'mon :P
