Ebay Headers?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-N...24124320QQrdZ1

Has anyone had any experience with these at all? They actually dont look that bad. Opinions?

Cattman or nothing. Cattman and Hotshot have the best bends, equal length on front and rear, and no fitment issues. Hotshot isn't around anymore.

These ebay headers really look like a gamble.

Go for it, they look decent, let us know how it goes. Foe $200 bucks compared to $900 bucks you cant go wrong. Im always the type who says you get what you pay for, BUT these dont look 1/2 bad.

I know it would be a gamble but i didnt know if anyone has had any experience with these at all .........even on other cars....?

They are only 1/4 the price of the cattmann headers. But then again I know what id be gettin with cattmann and that is definately quality.

People have had experiance with them... They are garbage.

As others have said, Cattman or nothing.

We used to have HotShot but they are gone...

You would have also found the same answer if you searched, or even looked in the huge "Headers" thread right on top of the 5th gen forum.

If they don't look half bad to you... Then you don't know what you are looking at.

You cannot go wrong for $200. I am sure they flow better than stock.

If I wasn't so poor I would buy them.

you can very wrong and be out $200

if people dont have knowledge of headers...their opinion dont count. "they look good" isnt good enough reason to get them.

If you really want cheap headers, get OBX. IMO, why bother with SSAutoCrap shorty headers or 6th Gen/Altima headers. OBX has long tubes and apparently they have improved their quality. More information in the header sticky.
