Cheap ebay headers and y-pipe

Hi, I am just curious if anyone knows anything about this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-99...3756.m20.l1116


I know the Y-pipe isn't equal length, but for the price it doesn't look too bad with no pre-cats and the mandrel bends. I know it won't be as good as the stainless steel Cattman equal length y-pipe, but will this give a significant increase over stock to make it worth it?

Also, I noticed this comes with headers too, if I were to get this would it even be worth it swapping the stock headers out for these? I wouldn't lose any performance by going with these would I?

I just installed the Y pipe last night. I used the stock headers for now because changing them is such a headache unless you already have the engine out. I had to grind out the flanges to get the bolts on there and there was alot of elbow grease involved but it fits now.

The car DEFFINATLY breaths better with the Y pipe and there is a decent performance increase. I can't really hear much of a difference inside the car but outside you can hear it. It's not loud unless you get on it


all in all

not bad if you don't want to (or can't) spend $300 on a y pipe

Its about the cheapest Y you can get. As said, needs some work to get it on.

If you have the engine out, they are great to put on, much easier. But still, you wont see much performance increase.

I bought the y-pipe from this seller. I haven't installed it, but it looks to be a decent piece. They will sell the y-pipe only for $100 shipped if you e-mail them directly. I didn't want to mess with the headers as I've heard how big of a pain in the *** they are to install.
