eBay Headers

[redman11]

I heard a lot of eBay talk here and here's my question what about buying headers off of eBay is it a bad idea or is there a diff or what?

It's not a bad idea as long as you buy a name brand header. I have bought and sold on e-bay for the past 2 years and have never had a bad transaction. If used properly, E-bay is very reliable.

Sorry to ninja the thread, but there's two o2 sensors in the tC's exhaust system right?

1 in the header, one in the s-pipe right?

[08supawhite]

Soulbane, you are exactly right. Bank1/S1 is the wideband air/fuel ratio sensor located in the OEM header, before the primary cat... It is responsible for the main air/fuel calculation data for the ECM. Bank1/S2 is the narrowband O2 sensor. It is located in the s-pipe. This is after the primary cat and before the secondary cat.

Ok, so let me get this straight.

There's an o2 sensor in header, before cat, and another one in spipe after first cat, before second cat.

So does that mean the second cat is located in the mid-pipe after the s-pipe?

[08supawhite]

Yes, that is exactly right. The secondary cat is located in the mid-pipe after the s-pipe.

Well I mean headers that are not name brand, what about those?

[Soulbane]

Absolutely not.

You get what you pay for, trust me on that one.

If you're looking for just average performance headers check out

Performance part from Weapon R intake Ksport coilovers Tein springs Walbro fuel pump RC injectors injectors Skunk2 racing Koyo Racing Radiators Luminics bulbs and Agency Power. California

They have some reliable, and inexpensive headers.

I agree with Soulbane, you do not need to buy an off-brand from E-bay. Some people do try and scam. I would and do only buy name brand off of E-bay.
