Ebay Headers (2021)

[tdstuart]

Anyone bought these eBay headers?

I'm a cheap piece of shit and I would rather buy $400 headers than $600 headers lmao. I already plan on basically building the whole exhaust. I do want the performance gain... And am a little afraid these things will leak and perform worse than stock. What are your guy's opinions? I know there was another post a while back about people buying eBay headers and saying they were good quality.

If the difference is only $200 then I say spring the extra money and get a decent set. There are plenty of affordable sets out there. However if you are that strapped then these should not have a problem fitting. A lot of these companies out there simply buy a set of the expensive headers and then pretty much use them as a template to copy them. So the only issues you might have will be very minimal. And there certainly are lots of people who have bought them and had no issues while other may have had some small issues. I think your best bet is to try them out and report back. And the good thing about Ebay is that if you do have an issue then you can always return them via Ebay return policy. So there is no loss to you other than time and whatever a shop might charge for the labor.

They’re cheap enough to experiment with, so give them a go. Worst case scenario is, you will be out of some time for labor (assuming you plan to do the work yourself).

I have used the $200 headers from eBay and they make just as much power as $1000 headers

What kind of connectors did you buy? I assume that the BBK header connectors will work but they are $120...

The shop is going to be myself so no worry there.

Hopefully I’m not too late… $400….. just get these!!!!! They technically fall under the “eBay” category. But have amazing quality for the price!

Have you installed them yet? If so, how is the fitment? I’ve read they can be hit or miss, which blows my mind, assuming all mass-produced LTHs are made in a jig of some sort. They do look good in the photo that you posted though, so hopefully they fit like a glove and it’s money well spent.

I've heard some bad things about 2M. From an alarmingly high amount of people. I'd get the Ebay headers over 2M.

But how’s the 2011 design fit in the 2018+ engine bay?

Wonder why the only list to MY 2016. The 17's are the same and I've been told they are the same to 2021

+1 for the 2m headers. To be fair I've heard some sketchy things about them but from my personal experience I've ordered two sets and they were both at my door in less than a week. I will say the box they throw them in to ship could be better as it was coming apart at the seams when it arrived but everything was still inside both times. Also both installs were fine, didn't deal with any crazy fitment issues and I still have a set on my car currently.

There header and cat package is probably the best deal I’ve found. I think I’m going to get it as a Christmas present. We will see.

I bought some but ended up sending them back as I was going catless and had no options for a Mid pipe. They seemed well constructed and showed up in a DNA motoring brand box. Lethal Performance ended up hooking me up with some Stainless powers for double the price

+1 on fitment issues being as common as not so it seems like a crap shoot with them. But cheap enough to experiment with if somwone wanted to.
