Headers Help Again....

Ok so ssautochrome didnt work out for me... I placed the order on the 5th and paid the same day. After a month of bull****, they finally emailed me today saying sorry but this item is currently out of stock.... I emailed them today asking when they would have em in stock havent gotten an answer yet but im searching for some now. I came across this on ebay...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissa...ayphotohosting

Its cheap as hell and i see a lot of the headers/exhaust etc he sells for dirt cheap prices. Anyone have any experience with this seller? The welds dont look so bad on the picture they have but is that just a pic that they use for every single one? HELP GUYS!

I smell :bsflag: on the ebay headers, but it's your money, so try it out since it's so cheap and you'd barely loose anything.

Why not just wait it out until Cattman comes out with REAL headers with REAL performance gains?

those are the same headers you were going to get at ssautochrome, remember the design.

same design as hotshot, same headers I have.

I said that they will sell quick, so hurry.

As long as you keep your main cat in place, you should be fine with emissions.

those headers on ebay don't come with a catt, you will have to get one put on.

check with your local shop cause some won't install them without the catt unless you also tell them to weld one on as they install them for you.

with a main catt you sould be ok like NmwxMAX said.

What about the install itself. How hard is it and how long would it take to do. Would I have to remove any other parts in order to get to the headers? (like intake manifold)

the manual says to remove the radiator, fan, cross member and ****.

I spoke to someone that did it and I belive he didn't take off the radiator or anything, but he did take the cross member off. he then said you don't really need to do that.

it seems like you can do it as is, but you will need all the proper tools to do it.

i also took a peep under there and it seems straight foward, but to fit tools in there might be a different story.

Another idea is to lower subframe and drop the motor and tranny as a unit. It should not take to long to do this, and you get perfect access to the rear manifold which is the ***** of the two manifolds.
