generic ebay header

[KSIbucky]

I don't know if I can trust this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Performance-Exhaust-Header-Toyota-Yaris-06-07-08-09-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZalgoQ3dSIQ26itsQ3dIQ2 6ituQ3dUCIQ252BUAQ252BFICSQ26otnQ3d20Q26pmodQ3d220 823975556Q26psQ3d54QQ_trksidZp3284Q2em263QQitemZ38 0297294200). Would you? Or should I spend $75 more and buy a megan racing header? Or is the dc better?

[Betrivent]

I'd spend the extra cash. You either pay 65 once, and probably have to shell out for a better header after it might fail, or shell out more ONCE, and know that it'll be fine for practically ever.

[rapev-8]

i never heard header fail before?!

[ttr125fan09]

it could crack or blow out a hole, it happens trust me

[BEEF]

the DC header looks to be a much better design. if you are going to do it, you might as well do it right the first time. there is a reason stuff is expensive. it isn't just the name.

[cali yaris]

Besides the part, consider how good or bad the customer service will be if it fails or is defective.

[Be Spoken]

Or better yet why are we supporting the very same people that are killing this industry?

Hince why HKS has left and Blitz!

Why are we supporting this EBAY Crap? why would you build a car with inferrior parts?

I don't understand why todays import guy is building stuff on such a shoe string budget that their willing to sacrafice quality for cost!

It's not like these cars are expensive, in fact their dirt cheap. So you should be able to spend for some decent parts.

Quite feeding the ricer wanna-be. This industry is bad enough with all the Ebay scammers and fraudulant parts that are out their.

And some of you wonder why parts from real manufactures keep going up. This is exactly why.

from what ive found, the dc header is the best. i have a ebay header and its great, when i first got it there was a "missed" weld so i took it to my friend who works at a machine shop and he welded the snot out of it for nothing. i noticed a gain with it installed for sure

[EPyarisdriver]

I would stay away from ebay.. Ive seen an ebay header crack about 3 weeks after the install

[bzinn 1]

every person I know who has bought an Ebay header that was not name brand like DC or Weapon R has had failure in a year....cracks,bad fitment,rust,warpage....just spend the extra and get a good one.....

[johnny_vitz]

Haha...I just swapped out my ebay (HPR?) header for the DC Sport. I'll post a pic later but it had a big crack in the weld half way around it. Just spend the $ the first time on a good one.

[xxae07xx]

ive had the ebay header for almost 2 years now and i check it constantly for failure. still running strong!

thats not the one i gave it is?

[Motorhead6T5]

I have at least 40k miles on mine. Had to retorque the bolts a couple times after the install,but thats about it. Ebay exhaust parts(china knock-offs) really aren't that bad. I know plenty of happy customers.

[cali yaris]

Every time you buy a cheap eBay product, you make it that much more difficult for me or someone like me to support our community with parts and knowledge.

If you don't care about the contribution vendors make on here, and only shop because of price, I respect your choice, but this needs to be said.

[Be Spoken]

Bingo!

If your just that cheap or just that broke, this may not be the hobby for you. Your making the sport cheap as well as making it impossible for real manufactures to even bother making a real part.

Chineese knock-offs should be banned. Your killing what once was a real industry and sub culture.

I hope your eBay parts have catastrophic failure.

[Be Spoken]

You eBay shoppers see no value in real parts. Your like the plauge of the industry.

If you like to see companies like HKS disappear keep doing what your doing. And then you won't even have chineese company to copy them to make eBay parts!

Be a part of the real industry not a part of the problem.

[xxae07xx]

I like how this guy was even able to post that. That's exactly why I don't come here anymore. I hope your mom has catastrophic failure you dbag. I completely understand agree and sympathize with what problems buying knock offs creates. But I can also see where people want to save money while modding. I love my yaris but i know what it is and what it isnt.

[Be Spoken]

No one pointed any direct fingers. But obviously you need to so you can feel good about yourself. If the shoe fits wear it.

Nothing like being the tool of the industry. Go ahead sling slanderous remarks all you want.

Unlike Cali. I don't sugar coat anything. Good or bad I'll say it like it is. But I won't bring your mom in to it.

Enjoy EBay or should I say , Kmart

[xxae07xx]

Actually I already feel great about myself. Your comments were pretty direct btw. And actually i believe you began the slanderizing when you called me a plague. I like how you look down on the idea of saving money. I'm sorry we live in a market economy and I basically git the same thing as name brand for 1/3 of the price. Yea it sucks that hurts companies like hks etc but your an idiot if you think that the average consumer cares about that over getting a good deal.

[Be Spoken]

No one ever called you out directly. If you like knock offs, so be it. You can be the coolest guy from eBay. The throne is yours.

I'm done talking about it. Enjoy your knock offs.

[xxae07xx]

Glad that's settled. I'm totally the coolest guy from ebay whatever that means kid

[Be Spoken]

I'm probably older than You....son

[xxae07xx]

ha. Okay? Are we in 5th grade? Your older than me? Well my dad can beat up your dad. you are very immature and ignorant to be so old. and if you are the grandpa you say you are then I congratulate you on accomplishing very little during all your years. I think I would ask to be euthanized if i was 60 yrs old still driving a yaris

[xxae07xx]

This has been fun but I'm afraid I'm finished with this conversation. And for the record never did I say that one should go out and buy knock offs over real deal. There's always risk involved and you get what you pay for. I was simply saying for those interested in saving a few bucks that I've had luck with my header

[ilikerice]

gezus.. im getting flashbacks from previous "certain" threads with the bashing back and forth..

[RcJosh]

Wow you dont have to be a jerk and call people a plauge. This is a place for good ole moddin the cars we love. Your attitude on this site makes me completly under value your opinion on parts because your completly bias and rude to people that have different ideas about cars. What would jesus do... Not judge thats for sure.

[cali yaris]

gezus.. im getting flashbacks from previous "certain" threads with the bashing back and forth..

uh, maybe that's because it's the same guy? :rolleyes:

[scioncrew]

^ is it possible?
:)

[KSIbucky]

I just asked a simple question. If I can't save money then why did I buy a $13,000 car. So what if it fails; I have the stock one and another car available.

[BEEF]

I guess you can still buy it. I would think though if there was a better alternative and it really isn't that much more (I have found the DC sport ones for $275ish). in the long run you make better power, you know it will last, and you have a quality product if it doesn't last with support.

with the trouble to replace it, I would think you would only want to do it once.

all that being said, you could go for it. there are probably a lot of people that are running ebay headers out there.

[KSIbucky]

Don't buy a yaris in the long run it will fail. Your better off with a rolls Royce.

[EPyarisdriver]

I didnt know we were in high school :eyebulge:

[johnny_vitz]

haha...:eek: I forgot to post the pic friday...I leave for the weekend and come to this...

I got this for next to nothing when I bought a bunch of parts off a guy parting out his xb, otherwise I would have bought the DC right away.

[ChinGy]

That looks very similar to the standard one, but with bigger bores.
Lengths of the runners aren't even equal.
A good brand will bring better quality, but what really makes a difference in power is the design of the headers, not the branding.
All the ones on eBay are all fairly similar to each other.
Even the 4-1 and 4-2-1. Runners are still the same lengths.

[YarisPR]

I have the ebay header, i have no regrets and it worked fine. :thumbsup: it actually came in a megan racing box :laugh:

[TickleTimeTim]

i had to log in just to say, wow. i buy cheap parts because i have bills and a wife who doesn't care for me modding, but i can usually get away with cheap mods. i would prefer stuff from garm, but if i find it cheaper so be it. i bought a used ebay header from someone on here 2 mos ago for $25 and still haven't installed it, but since a curse has been put on my ebay header i prob shouldn't put it on. looking back i wish i would have done dc. save up and get a good one, or wait for a part out. gl

I think almost every part I have bought (which is a lot) has been used...from a part out. I paid $100+shipping for the DC which had barely been used.

I'm ok with that. :biggrin:
