PearlBlueGT Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Seems like a great deal for equal length headers, are these worth it? How hard are they to install, do I have to raise engine, etc. to bolt them on? http://www.ebay.com/itm/261335240409?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrw Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Looks like the old HKS equal length headers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JmP6889928 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I had bought some headers off of ebay a number of years ago for a small block Ford and they were fine. The gaskets were crap, (replaced them with ROL graphite header gaskets) but the headers were of decent quality material and they fit fine. I sold the Mustang with them on it and as far as I know, they're still on there. Buy them for $150 and see how they work. I would be curious to hear your review. The flex joints on the DS, while not optimal for flow, should make them fairly forgiving to bolt on. To install them, you won't have to jack anything up. Just drop your undertray, remove your front O2, unbolt your UP, unbolt your stock manifolds and carefully take it loose from the engine and then put it all back in the same way. Just be VERY careful when you remove the heat shields from the manifolds so that if you don't like the headers, or if they don't fit as you hope, you can reuse the heat shields. I WOULD wrap them though if I were you. Without any heat shielding, they'll get mighty hot and could melt your undertray. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PearlBlueGT Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 I was thinking about getting them ceramic coated, a local business here does c/coating. That's if I do decide to get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chato Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 For $150, I'd, well I'd do a lot of other things first. But if you're feeling lucky, go for it, but I'd fit those parts before spending another cent on coating them. my experience with cheap ebay exhaust components is: you get what you pay for.

idiot4hire Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I had a ebay downpipe in my impreza and it's still on three years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
