Hey guys, while browsing around I found this, but I have a couple of questions.

Does anybody hear have one?
Is it good quality?
Some of their other auctions say "netted 36 WHP", that seems like alot to me, can the be?

...and anyother comments will be taken.

Header & Downpipe on eBay.

(FYI I have VCT)

I would stay away from it. It looks like the sh!tty Pacesetter header. Also, it looks like someone has done some grinding or something to the end port.

BTW, the good headers have the downpipe flange weleded to the engine flange. This prevents weld breaks.

Still for $100 bucks (current bid) that's not too bad, right?

True $100 is pretty cheap. Do you own a welder? That would be my deciding factor.

Looks not so great. Also how would the downpipe be made for foci and contours?

Yep, with our oilpan, I doubt the downpipe would work.


BTW, it looks EXACTLY like a pacesetter. I just found this pic over at www.newedgeperformance.com.




Here's the better header design. It's a JBA, but it's also $330 with no downpipe.




HTH,

It's the OBX header I believe. The bad Pacesetter header was the shorty race header that blocked airflow. The only problem is he states that the down pipe is for a Focus or Contour, but the two downpipes are totally different since the focus exhaust goes straight back from the cat and the Contours is toward the passangers side.

Thanks for the info, I'll pass on this one, but ~$400 is way too much for me right now.

Steve has done some research.

wouldn't a 4 to 1 header work better than those anyway? Seems like it would flow alot better...
