This ebay header worth a s***?

[motchai]

i think i called them like 2 weeks ago and the guy i talked to was unsure of the application, so don't buy this, you'll end up maybe returning it

This header does not fit. Do NOT buy it. I know this because I was the one to test fit it on my car.

you could always get the AWR header. its costly but from what i've heard is well worth it.

i heard that the mazdaspeed proteges had real big fitment problems with this header.

Thanks all.........

I am not buyin it. Sounds like a piece. Dont have the money to go with AWR header, so maybe Ill get the OBX.. Hell I know how to weld. (glare)

I had bad luck with my OBX header...it did not line up at all with the mid pipe....just my luck because I hear others are really happy with them

Russ, get in on the OBX group buy man. We are still looking for people to get their money in to make the deal happen. I think you would make #6 of the 10 we need.........

I would be me. =) It was Heat and vibration form the engine that made the weld crack. That time I didn't have kartboy exhaust hangers or motor mounts. I just have kartboys hanger right now.

I noticed when I had mine on the exhaust would shake like crazy since the stock manifold has a couple of support brackets and the header didn't. You pretty much need stiffer motor mounts if you want to resolve that problem.
