i don't see why, anybody can made a header and it will be just has good as a dc, pace setter ect. it just wont look as good. all it is, is some tubing and a flange. you can say that big companies spend thousands of dollars to tuned them. if that where true, then
headers would look different between brand and cars. all i know is less bends = more hp & tq. not trying to slam anyone, im just put that out there for the people that think name brand is better then no name brands, well for header anyways
I dont know if I would say all that. Not all headers are created equal, especially when it comes to quality of materials, welds, design and so on. Even though they look the same doesnt mean they perform the same. The differences between an "eBay" header and a "tuned" one could only be +-1 to 2 hp but there are differences none the less. You could say that all camshafts look the same, because they basically do, but then again not all perform the same. Get what I mean. Im not trying to slam you but those little things make a diff. Am I saying that spending the extra 100, 200, $300 is justified, no, not for everyone but if I had the $$$ Id probably spend it.
Im personally gonna go with a cast "eBay" manifold for my build. $250, eh, I think its worth it. Short length and strength FTW!
I dont know what ur sayin Arro, theres gobs of the s13 manis there. All the ones Ive seen tho, they labeled them s13/s14 types. Is that what ur talking about?
