American 4-1 manifold on ebay anygood?

[Phantom]

Saw one for £130 sold by jdmhondaparts delivered and looks good.
Has any one without, label snobbery, experienced these first hand?

You can get Ebay headers much cheaper. Look around. Don't have any experience, but I'm guessing the following:

Better than:
- B16A/1/2 OEM manifold
- B18C4/1/GSR OEM manifold

Worse than:
- B16B OEM manifold
- B18C OEM manifold (96 spec and 98 spec)

There's loads of types available, some good, some bad...

For instance, my mate has one of these: Replice RMF Narrow header, and it's very good, good gains and a tidy manifold, nice quality... Whereas these are poo, a stock ITR tubular manifold would be better, the ebay one has un-equal length pipes, which will make your car burble like an Impreza, and you'd never want that would ya

Impreza's sound cool But I'm gonna get the RMF Narrow replica too, probably the best header out there, together with Toda. Only way less expensive

as long as they are equal length pipes anythin will be better than oem b16a header for that price. i had the un-equal length 4-1 header on mine for a bit apart from the scooby noise it wasnt to bad. also fitted very well to

Ok thanks guys for the input
I tried to do a link to show the actual item but failed miserably
It's a 98 spec Intrgra replica as far s I can tell and is 2.5" bore.
Is the us stuff up to par?

 

[_JT]

Collector is 2,5"? Thats a big plus.

 

[Phantom]

Yes 2'5 collector but it's so cheep compared to named brands you wonder if it's gonna crack up
Very tempted though and there shop has loads of good stuff for EKs
