I dunno, I've been wooking at that for the past couple days. Seems like a good deal, but I doubt it is any better than the stock header.

yea but thats not bad compared to the stainless steel replicas also on the bay. and this ones ceramic coated. i just thought it would be at least more than 100 bucks

Bah this is the second guy selling these with a misprint.

Made of High Quality T-304 Stainless Steel
Direct bolt-on,no modifications needed
High quality ceramic coated steel with CNC mandrel-bent tubing

They call it high quality stainless, but it isn't. Its steel with paint...I guess that could be ceramic coating, but for that price I really doubt it.

This one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-E30-318is-89-91-E36-318is-92-98-318ti-Z3-HEADER_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33624QQihZ020QQi temZ300158302635QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW) is definitely stainless....as well as this one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3-Series-1991-BMW-318is-e30-Upgraded-Exhaust-Header_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33631QQihZ004QQi temZ140165847003QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW).

I have heard these cheaper stainless pipes can crack, but for that price I would probably be willing to give it a shot eventually.

They have $25 Coilovers for early 90's model Civics. How in the world can they do that? The headers I would use on a track car as they have that long single pipe following the collector. Do the other ones with the OEM two pipe type collector and flange actually fit? I wonder.

That design looks alot better then the stock part from a fluid dynamics standpoint. A 4into1 collector is alot better then the factory 2+2into1. I'd also suspect that design is alot lighter then the stock.

Assuming its decent materials and welding.. can't go wrong at that price. As for realistic gains though.. I doubt anyone is going to see 8-12hp out of it.
